Would you wait in line for 3 hours for a cronut?

Deep fried croissants anyone? (Croissant + Donut = Cronut)

Can't believe people actually wait on line at 5 AM for these...

This article explains it more, it's a fun read at the least:

Yes because I like croissants and donuts.

So one for themselves and one for me. That's perfect. Then they go to the back of the line and work for 2 other people. They can be professional line standers.

No, but I would pay someone 3 hrs of minimum wage + what the food cost to stand in line to buy em for me and themselves. Better than doing work for a burger flipping place for them and getting the food without waiting on line for me. Win win. I might even tip em. The time I save can be used to do other, better things.

I hate both, so absolutely not. Never even had anything deep fried and don't really intend on trying them out.

I would never voluntarily wait in line for three hours for anything.

No. I could put a croissant on a donut.
And BAM a cronut.
