Several tweets on Twitter have gone viral in the last few days, sharing a photo of what looks like a new type of sexual lubricant.
The image depicts a special Krispy Kreme-sponsored variation of K-Y jelly entitled ‘Hole Glaze’. It promises a “warm & sticky doughnut flavor” lubricant.
One tweet has had over 100k likes and thousands of retweets.
Are you okay babe? You haven’t opened your Krispy Kreme brand KY donut flavored, warming hole glaze 🖤 pic.twitter.com/q98fLS2veq

It’s prompted plenty of comments.

That’s just propaganda fed to us by big lube

Before you get excited though, we need to inform you, it’s untrue: There is no Krispy Kreme K-Y limited edition lubricant.
The fact-checkers at Snopes looked into the matter and quickly found the image to be fake. A message to K-Y prompted a swift “It is fake” reply, with confirmation that the brand does not make any such product.

After Snopes published its article, a Facebook user, Brian Lambeth, came forward and admitted he’d created the (very convincing) fake image back in the summer for National Donut Day. He sent Snopes a link to his original Facebook posting. The image also includes one of his social media handles (‘Dankstick’) in one of the barcodes, as an identifier that it’s his work.
“I wanted to fess up as the creator of the lube image,” he told Snopes. “I made this on National Doughnut day as a joke and posted to my own Facebook page in June this year. I’m from Winston-Salem, NC – the corporate headquarters for Krispy Kreme. I’m exposed to a great deal more of KK’s advertising because of that. Anyway, all in good fun.”
So, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but at the moment, ‘hole glaze’, donut-flavored lubricant is not a thing. However, given how viral it’s proved on Twitter, maybe it should be!

That’s just gross

it is, but secretly I want to try it

This really should be a thing. Edible lube has been around for decades. KK is missing out on some serious dough.

I’d buy it. I would prefer it not be “sticky” though. I hate sticky. I do find it comical that the person who photoshopped it came forward with apparently iron clad proof that they had the idea first. Obviously setting the table for selling the idea to KK.

Haha. True. But I doubt they ever would try. It would be a cool experiment though because I’m sure a large portion of their customers are conservatives. I’d love to see the folks who would show up to boycott KK. My beat would be they’d stop by the drive thru right before.
