Do people acknowledge National Donut Day where you live?

[BillsPride12]

Just had an interesting observation this morning.  I would say the National Donut Day thing has become pretty big in WNY.  Probably being pushed by people's love for Paula's Donuts.  I stopped by a local one this morning to bring some in for co-workers and people were lined up outside before they even opened up waiting to buy Donuts.  Then I was talking to a co-worker of mine in New Jersey this morning on Zoom and she had no idea it was even a holiday...which got me thinking is this another one of those Western New York things?  Actually celebrating National Donut Day?  Does anywhere else do this?

Woah, wait a minute. Are you saying that there are some days that aren't Doughnut Day?! 😲

 

I no longer understand the world and am going to need some time to collect myself........

Every day is doughnut day.

I was blissfully unaware of this National Donut Day, here is ridiculously fitness crazed Colorado.

I promise to do my part to publicize it, starting with my first dozen shortly.

Heard last year on radio about a free donut on national donut day.  I have not listened to radio yet today.

Here in NJ, I always stop off at Dunkin for coffee and today they asked if I would like a free donut.

That's the thing...I think most people are unaware of it...except here in Buffalo.  Of course it's a holiday Western New Yorkers embrace LOL

I went into a Circle K this morning just to pay for some gas and a pop... they have a DD attached. Girl walks up to me and asks if I want a free donut. Sure... got a frosted cruller. So even Florida has it going on, although there are DD all over the place anyways.

 

DD was a lot better when they made them in house... no longer.

I mean it's a real thing so I'm sure most Donut places are doing deals and specials like that but what I'm referring to is I can't picture people really embracing it as a Holiday in most other places but I feel like in Buffalo people take it seriously!  Paula's was packed this morning with people lined up to bring in Donuts for their co-workers; I didn't listen but I saw that Shred and Ragan(local morning radio talkshow here in WNY) was having somebody on from Tops Markets to talk about Donut Day, I see people sharing posts on Facebook about it being Donut Day lol....It is definitely a "thing" here in Buffalo

I don't know.  Husband is diabetic so even for one a piece it's a NO NO.

 

There's no Duncan nor Krispy. All the others and there's plenty are just "Mom and Pop".  Thankfully each is successful so IF we wanted to splurge we have options.

I wasn’t even thinking about doughnuts when I saw “girl” and “DD attached”

Not sure if it was just the one Wegmans near me or all of them, but one in Rochester was doing "Donuts from around the world" that had different flavors from obviously all over the world. I thought that was pretty cool, although I do not have a sweet-tooth so I did not partake

[Not at the table Karlos]

Never heard of it. Couldn't tell you the last time I even ate a donut.
