Terrorist-Fighting Donut Holes

9/11 Inspires Questionable Culinary Creations

When one thinks of ways to inspire patriotism, donut holes don’t exactly shoot to the top of the list. The images in this gallery feature a cookie, cake, donut, and other baked goods that attempt to honor the victims of 9/11, but unfortunately fall short due to obvious errors.

The donut holes have only red and white colors and “Never Foget” is written on the cookie cake. As for the other two pastries, well, Uncle Sam’s dumbbells and the WTC Towers accompanied by fireworks just shouldn’t be.
