If you love sweets and confectioneries, you are going to be drooling today because it is the mouth-watering holiday known as National Donut Day.
Over the years, donuts have developed into a canvas for bizarre, inventive and creative foods to be infused into. Foods like bacon, cereal, croissants and even pumpkins have found their way into these delicious fried treats to create some of the most decedent donuts in the world. From bacon-donut burgers to sweet seafood snacks, donuts are no longer a Plain Jane icing-and-sprinkle dessert.
National Donut Day consists of two words: free donuts. That means that at any Dunkin' Donuts, Winn Dixie, Tastykake, Kirspy Kreme or any other places celebrating this pastry-filled holiday, customers can nejoy free donuts or donut-inspired rewards. If you happen to have any of these shops around you, I recommend checking them out and picking up a tasty treat because, why not? It's National Donut Day, after all.
