The Reason Why Your Doughnut Box is Pink
Рет қаралды 2,392,685
6 жыл бұрынIf you grew up in California, enjoyed a sweet treat on the American West Coast, or just watched movies or sitcoms based in L.A., you may have noticed something very particular-all the doughnut boxes are pink. Why? It’s all thanks to Ted Ngoy, a Cambodian refugee who came to the States in the 1970s. After opening up his first doughnut shop, Ngoy used pink boxes to package the baked goods. As his business grew, he began to train and mentor other doughnut moguls, all of whom carried on Ngoy’s tradition with matching pink boxes. Today, Mayly Tao, the reigning Doughnut Princess of L.A., keeps her great-uncle’s legacy alive at DK’s Donuts-adding her own modern twist.

The daughter clearly understands the importance of packaging & presentation. The new box really highlights the artistry of their donuts, and will make the consumer feel like they really have something special. It will probably justify a higher selling price.

They didn’t have as many fancy decorated donuts and weren’t famous, but they were the best donuts anywhere. I had no idea “DK” was “Donut King!” Now that’s an amazing story. Go find the documentary about the Donut King.

She updated the donuts too. People don't care about packaging? Apple anyone? Companies allocate millions to create/change/update a brand image for a reason. Image is pertinent for success. Packaging is one way of creating an image. If brands like Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein only cared about the product and not the packaging (image), etc, they wouldn't exist today.

I grew up in the middle of southern California, all I knew was pink donut boxes until I moved to northern California. I never knew their history stemmed from an immigrant who helped others. Also, just from youthful ignorance, I was always curious how donut shops became a strong part of the Asian community!

We share the same sentiment! I grew up on the East coast land of Dunkin’ Donuts. When I moved to LA, I was always wondering why the donut shops were run by Asians and while the shops never seemed affiliated with each other, so many had the same pink box.

My local donut shop in San Jose is owner by a wonderful Cambodian family. They make the most delicious donuts. They told me years ago about learning to make donuts from another Cambodian. I love that he paid it forward, such an act of kindness.

Donuts have an interesting history in the US; at one time most donut shops and chains used proprietary recipes for their dough, but eventually they all switched over to commercially made mix, filling, and even frosting and they all started to taste the same (inferior). Simply put, over a period of a decade, donuts in America went from really good to really bad and everybody noticed. But the big chains had pushed out most of the small donut shops, and the chains were all about the bottom line, so donuts just continued to suck. What saved donuts was immigrants from Asia, who had been exposed to French food culture, coming to America and realizing that our donuts could be SO MUCH BETTER, and we'd gladly pay extra. Sure, you can always find a Dunkin' or a Winchell's, but why would you? They suck.

Thanks to the Cambodians, there are tons of mom & pop donut shops here and they taste great. Dunkin got rolled out of California but came back. Had their donuts and they are low tier compared to any shop here in California that I have been to.
