Whether you like them jelly-filled, powdered or glazed, you now have a good excuse (if you needed one) to enjoy the sweet treats.
National Doughnut Day isn't a ploy by doughnut
shops to get you in their doors. Its roots date back to World War I, when
hundreds of Salvation Army officers, aiming to comfort U.S. troops serving in
Europe, cooked and served doughnuts to the soldiers, according to USA Today.
The first National Doughnut Day was celebrated in 1938.
