Jackie Woodward, Chief Marketing Officer of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts stated in a press release:
“St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect occasion to change the color of the Original Glazed…What’s even rarer – like finding a four-leaf clover – is altering the name of such an iconic product. We’ve never done it. But in this instance, it’s fun and joyful, just like the holiday.”
