Ah crap! It's National Donut Day!

Typically I would be happy about free donuts...but we don't have a Krispie Kream store open here anymore. Dang it! Well, maybe the rest of you can get in on this. Here is what was listed in their press release:

National Donut Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression and to honor the work of World War I Salvation Army volunteers who prepared doughnuts for thousands of soldiers. National Doughnut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.

"National Doughnut Day is a perfect time for us to give a little something back to our loyal customers throughout the country," said Stan Parker, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Krispy Kreme. "It's also a great opportunity to build awareness and acknowledge the continued good work of the Salvation Army."

I cant eat those donuts. They make me sick. Too much sugar, but I do have a favorite bakery that I am about to hit. Thanks for letting me know it is National Donut Day!!!! LOL

Yeah they are a little to sweet....personally I would prefer a nice vanilla cream from a regular bakery.
