No, Voodoo Donuts does make real crappy donuts.

We're just talking about a marginal beer based on mediocre donuts and a ton of hipster buzz.

Oh, thanks for the clarification

I was mostly entertained when they covered it on food network several years ago because they have a vaguely human shaped doughnut that is served with a pretzel stick so that you can use it as a "voodoo doll". And they have some doughnuts at the time that seemed pretty crazy like maple bacon and oreo, but those types of flavors have since become much more common at non-chain doughnut shops.

I essentially waited long enough that it's now a common fad and I don't have to travel as far for it.

There's a local chain here in town that blows voodoo out of the water. We did a side by side, day old stuff from here vs. fresh from Voodoo.

Wasn't even fair.

Thats why we locals don't go to VooDoo... Heavenly Donuts is much better tasting and you don't have to fight the tourists that wait in line around the block. It's too bad VooDoo doesn't make their ish better....they bring in a lot of money.

Means they don't have to make it any better, they get the volume anyway. Making the product better would be a waste of resources.
