How excited would you be if a 24 hour doughnut drive-through opened in your neighbourhood? Would you drive there at all hours, queuing and honking your horn the whole time?

That's exactly how excited the residents of the Irish capital Dublin were when Krispy Kreme opened up a 24 hour drive through. In fact, eager Dubliners with doughnut cravings caused so much noise pollution and traffic jams that Krispy Kreme had to stop the 24 hour service after just one week.

A video shared by The Irish Post shows an intense late night queue outside the doughnut drive-through.

According to the Independant, the drive though will now close at 11:30 pm. Krispy Kreme CEO Richard Cheshire said in a statement that the Irish doughnut excitement was "way ahead of our most optimistic expectations."

On social media, people were very amused by the Irish doughnut chaos.
