Get Your Free Doughnut On National Doughnut Day

Deep-fried foods have been all the rage in recent history, and fried desserts are no exception. Gone are the long, tiresome days when grandma used to spend an entire afternoon mixing, shaping, baking, and constanly checking to see if the sweet treat is done or still needs five (5) more minutes.

To express our love for these desserts we even came up with days that celebrate them. And what celebration that respects itself would be complete without at least a few presents?

Well, today (June 5th) is National Doughnut Day, one of the most beloved and highly anticipated holidays of the year, and bakeries and doughnut chains all across the United States agree that you, yes you, deserve one of the above mentioned presents. What could it be, you may ask? A free delicious doughnut of course.

National Doughnut Day was started all the way in 1938 by the Salvation Army. The idea was that the food holiday would honor all of the men and women who gave doughnuts to soldiers during World war l. Nowadays, its goal has changed a little, in the sense that it serves to remind people of the Salvation Army’s social services programs.
