Mmm… Donut…
You don’t have to be Homer Simpson to enjoy a good donut. And do you know what the best kind of donut is?
A free donut.
This Friday, June 2, is National Donut Day.
Unlike some other National [Blank] Days (really, National Cheese Souffle Day?), National Donut Day has an actual historical background. It was established in 1938 by the Salvation Army in honor of the men and women who served soldiers coffee and donuts to boost their morale during World War I.
From this noble tradition, we gained another All-American phenomenon: getting free food just for showing up at restaurants on certain days.
You may or may not have had a chance to snag some freebies on National Pretzel Day, Tax Day or National Pancake Day, but now’s your time to get on the free donut train. So make like the Simpson family patriarch and run out to these fine establishments to get your free deep-fried, drool-worthy treat.
