The doughnuts are not normally slimy or greasy when you get them fresh from the stores. the icing is a thin white blanket over an air of a doughnut. What happens is when they package them up to distribute to convenience stores and grocery stores locally, they place them on their sides and they kinda melt together with the leftover warmth so that blanket of icing turns sludgey. When you get them boxed in one of their stores they are laid in the box on their backs (so to speak). They are the best doughnuts in this area, but we don't have much variety. I have had Winchell's on the west coast that are good. I still prefer the airy doughnuts from KK. :)
