I did re new doughnut swiftly followed by recall. All very weird or some kind of new way of oops I made a mistake but i did it deliberately for PR-still weird though.

Dear Store Managers,

The rumours are true! Krispy Kreme will be creating a new limited edition doughnut filled with NUTELLA®. It’s been an idea in the making for some time now and as we’re approaching the launch, it’s important that you can answer and assist with any enquiries you may receive over the forthcoming weeks.

Please note all of the information outlined in this memo is highly confidential and is not to be shared via any form of social media or to be discussed with guests in-store.

STAFF BRIEFING
From 27th May, Krispy Kreme will launch the ‘Nutty Chocolatta’ doughnut, filled with NUTELLA®. This is a very exciting time for us and following the consumer testing, we anticipate that there will be a huge demand for the doughnuts from both Krispy Kreme and NUTELLA® fans across the country.

We would like all stores to be fully prepared for this launch. To this effect, all Hotlight stores will receive multiple pallets loaded with jars of NUTELLA®. These will be dropped in the middle of the night to ensure the new doughnut variety is kept completely secret until launch.
Please note: As tempting as it is this is not for staff consumption.

PREPARATION FOR EXTREME FANS
Through our consumer testing, it’s apparent that the combination of a Krispy Kreme doughnut filled with NUTELLA® could cause a form of hysteria amongst some of the fans. We need to prepare you for some of the reactions you may face in store, as witnesssed in the customer testing.

These include:

Fainting: This is a rare reaction but during testing the excitement levels were so high after the first bite was taken, some people fainted due to the euphoria it created. Because of this, please advise all customers to sit down whilst eating their Nutty Chocolatta doughnut to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

Dribbling: We noticed during testing that the doughnut caused an increase in saliva, which some may find hard to contain. In these circumstances, please offer assistance by passing customers a napkin.

Over-excitement: There are several key signs for recognising this, these include squealing as well as jumping up and down on the spot. While we love to see this behaviour, we do ask that you stay vigilant and ensure it doesn't get out of hand or detract from another guests experience.

Full briefing packs and launch kits will be sent to all stores in the next couple of weeks to ensure this new product creates an unforgettable experience for our guests.

Any questions please contact the marketing team for more information. All the best for the launch!

Kind regards,
Judith

Yes.
It appeared to me to be a deliberate marketing email.

Yep, as others have said it looked like a marketing ploy, didn't even bother to look at it.

It's worked though because it's on here, hukd and fb

I doubt that would have been the case if they just sent a standard email
