National Donut Day...
 
I wasn't aware of this until moments ago, but yesterday was National Donut Day, and it was established in 1938.

Donut trivia:

Did you know that the donut machine was invented in 1920?!

Were you aware that per capita, Canada has more donut shops than any other country?!

Did you know that over 10 billion donuts are made in the U.S. every year?!

And did you know that the largest donut made was an American-style jelly donut weighing 1.7 tons?!

Wonder what an unAmerican-style jelly donut is like?!

Anyway, if you missed the day, need a sugar rush, or just want to enjoy a good donut, go for it!! :thumbsup

Maybe that explains the annual spike in crime.




The cops were busy.

We have a terrific donut shop not far from our house...Donna's Donuts.

They are wonderful...:thumbsup

i do not like KK they are far to sweet and nasty. The best ones in phoenix, so far, are Dunkin Donuts. In Ohio we had a Jolly Pirates and I really liked theirs. Wish I could find a to really good, to get fat for, donut shop. They absolute best ones I have had were home made.

Rats! I missed out. If I had known it would have been my duty to have found the nearest Krispy Kreme and to have indulged.

How did I miss National Donut Day????? Wish we had a Krispy Kreme here in Jackson. Well, really I don't because I would be as big as this couch I'm sitting on!

As I pause to reflect about it, I think the best donuts I ever ate were the glazed donuts my mom and dad used to make for us kids.

They were young and and so were we...not much money back then, but sure have some warm memories. :nod

There was a donut shop not to far from Christian Life College whose donuts were good enough to skip chapel for.

Oh and I got my free donut from KK to celebrate donut day.
