Donut and coke supply failed (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
conked out
'failed' is the definition.
('conk out' can be a synonym of 'fail')
'donut and coke supply' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'supply' is an anagram indicator (in a supple way).
'donut' after 'coke' is 'cokedonut'.
'cokedonut' anagrammed gives 'CONKED OUT'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
