“Donuts. Is there anything they can’t do?” — Homer Simpson 4 June 2015

It’s the first Friday in June, and that means one thing: it’s Homer Simpson’s favorite day — National Doughnut Day. The “holiday” has it’s roots in the Salvation Army’s service of providing doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. Donut Day was created in 1938 by the Salvation Army to honor the men and women who served doughnuts/donuts to the soldiers. The current National Donut Day is the successor to the Salvation Army Donut Day. Many bakeries and stores offer free donuts on National Donut Day. ABC News has compiled a list of national chains which will have goodies on this prototypical American holiday. Some local bakeries also participate so check your local shop as well as at the national chains. Whether you like them plain, filled or iced, grab one and enjoy. Doughnuts are one of the things which make America great. And fat. But mostly fat, so get some exercise today also.
