Here are some fun facts to add some sprinkles of knowledge to National Donut Day 2024.
Donut, Doughnut, or Dough-nut? The debate rages on! While "donut" is the most widely accepted term, "doughnut" and "dough-nut" are also acceptable.
A Hole Lot of History: The origin of the donut hole is still a mystery. Some believe it was created by a New England ship captain who wanted a way to easily hold his coffee while steering his ship. Others attribute it to a frustrated housewife tired of the raw dough in the center of her pastries.
Donut Diplomacy: Did you know donuts played a role in World War I? Salvation Army volunteers, often nicknamed "Doughnut Lassies," served these sweet treats to soldiers on the front lines, boosting morale and providing a taste of home. This is where the tradition of National Donut Day, which was established in 1938 by the Salvation Army, finds its roots.
