Do people acknowledge National Donut Day where you live?

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........

I’m not sure they recognize it but one of my fave old school places/shops in the world

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.

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”
