http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/duggars-hammered-for-plundering-free-krispy-kreme-donut-give-away/snip:
The Duggar family inspired ire this week for snagging no less than 168 donuts during a giveaway at Krispy Kreme, Inquisitr reports.
The family apparently went to the donut chain for their Talk Like a Pirate Day promotion, where anyone who said something like Arr matey got a free donut. Customers who went the extra step of dressing up got a dozen donuts. Its possible Krispy Kremes wasnt expecting 14 Duggars to show up in full pirate gear, but they all got a box of donuts that it seems unlikely theyll be able to eat.
The Duggar family crest is now at Jolly Roger jamming a donut in his mouth.

Can you imagine an alien race coming here and thinking the Duggars represents all humans!

Too Much Sugar Kills Your Sex Life
"High levels of sugar in your bloodstream can turn off the gene that controls your sex hormones.
The simple sugars, glucose and fructose, are metabolized in your liver, with the excess stored as fat lipids. Excess fat synthesis deactivates your SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) gene, causing your levels of SHBG protein to drop dramatically, and it is this SHBG protein that controls your testosterone and estrogen levels...

(34,069 posts)They met the requirements of the promotion - they are entitled to the donuts.
If Krispy Kremes was willing to give 12 donuts to a single person (more than that one person would be likely to eat), it seems pretty silly to get bent out of shape 14 people each claim 12 donuts. That they all live in one house is pretty irrelevant - unless the rules limited the offer to one per household.

(34,069 posts)Than for any other 14 individuals to take advantage of it?
Each person, regardless of whether that person is a Duggar or not, sought more donuts than they can reasonably anticipate eating = and I don't hear any complaints, or see news articles complaining, about the greed of any of the other participants in the promotion.

Ms. Toad
(34,069 posts)And I expect the Duggars were not the only family in which more than one person took advantage of the offer.
If lots of donuts going to one family is an issue, you limit the offer one to a household. This offer was apparently not limited in that manner, so the criticism is stupid.
Plenty of reasons for people to dislike the Duggars, this one is stupid. KK was planning to give away a lot of donuts and they did. Some of them were to people in the same family. I don't see the issue here at all.
