Krispy Kreme announced the limited-edition release of “Friends” themed donuts to celebrate the iconic show’s 30th anniversary, but there’s a catch — they’re only available in the UK.

After the announcement, U.S. fans took to social media, wondering why the donuts aren’t available outside the UK. While we aren’t sure the donuts are exclusive to the UK, we can only hope that they’ll roll them out in the U.S. soon too.



The Flavors Include:

- Friends: An original glazed with chocolatey icing, sprinkles and white chocolate

- We Were on a Coffee Break: Topped with caffè latte-flavored icing, chocolate swirl, frosting and a white chocolate topper

- Trifle: A strawberry and custard-filled doughnut, topped with chocolate curls and green sprinkles

- How You Doin’?: The brand’s classic ring donut decorated like the purple front door of Monica and Rachel’s apartment. The donut has purple icing and is adorned with mango and passionfruit-flavored frosting to recreate the famous gold peephole on the door.

Friends is one of those US series that's had great popularity in the UK, by contrast some others like for example Home Improvement and Golden Girls have aired but seem to have quite a lesser following.
