How excited would you be if a 24 hour doughnut drive-through opened in your neighbourhood? Would you drive there at all hours, queuing and honking your horn the whole time?

That's exactly how excited the residents of the Irish capital Dublin were when Krispy Kreme opened up a 24 hour drive through. In fact, eager Dubliners with doughnut cravings caused so much noise pollution and traffic jams that Krispy Kreme had to stop the 24 hour service after just one week.

A video shared by The Irish Post shows an intense late night queue outside the doughnut drive-through.

According to the Independant, the drive though will now close at 11:30 pm. Krispy Kreme CEO Richard Cheshire said in a statement that the Irish doughnut excitement was "way ahead of our most optimistic expectations."

On social media, people were very amused by the Irish doughnut chaos.

So Ireland gets a Krispy Kreme and the country loses its shit, resulting in the 24-hour drive-thru having to be closed? Sounds about right. — Gianni (@giancarlomag) October 3, 2018

The entire Krispy Kreme situation really highlights why Ireland can’t have nice things — Claire 💬 (@Claire_Crowley_) October 3, 2018

I’m following the Great Irish Krispy Kreme Fiasco of 2018. Shaquille O’Neal, angry neighbors, county councils, overturned cars, traffic management teams...who knew donuts could cause such pandemonium? #krispykreme #ireland #dublin #greatirishkrispykremefiasco2018 — Aisling Mäki (@Aisling901) October 4, 2018

One of my favorite things about Ireland right now is how horny Dubs are for Krispy Kreme https://t.co/ZEzvbU20QI — Michael (@roadworst) October 3, 2018

Ireland got its first Krispy Kreme and it was supposed to be a 24hr drive-thru but they’ve already cut it down to 6am - 11:30pm because people were so excited in their cars they’d be shouting/beeping I love it — j (@oliviadotmp3) October 3, 2018

Doughnuts are very delicious, though. It's understandable.
