National Doughnut Day is hole-y day of obligation
It’s Friday, and it’s National Doughnut Day. Go ahead, start the weekend on a sweet note.
The salute to the popular ring of pastry is held on the first Friday of each June, honoring the Salvation Army Lassies, the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during wartime.
Some doughnut outlets are providing free, or free with a purchase, doughnuts to celebrate the day.
Dunkin’ is offering one free classic doughnut with purchase of a beverage (the better for dunking, right?)

Guests can choose from varieties including Boston Kreme, Glazed, Glazed Chocolate and Strawberry Frosted with Sprinkles at participating locations while supplies last.
Giant Eagle is again participating in a National Doughnut Day promotion, firing up its bakery ovens and offering doughnuts for $3.99 a dozen, Friday only.
Way to make your colleagues smile, office hero.

Krispy Kreme is issuing itself a challenge, attempting to give away 1 million doughnuts on Friday. If successful, the chain promises to hold another giveaway later this month featuring a new doughnut.

According to a Walmart spokeswoman, the superstore will give away 1.2 million doughnuts on Friday.
Customers can visit the bakery section of any Walmart Supercenter or participating Neighborhood Market to get a free glazed doughnut, one per person, while supplies last.
Of course, say the word “donut” to some people and they may want to spin their wheels, not savor a sweet.

Plowing through spreadsheets and crunching numbers has to be easier with a doughnut, right?

BUT we also want to make sure you know where to get your free donut on #NationalDonutDay tomorrow! Treat yourself - you deserve it. https://t.co/BLsgY9NUUY pic.twitter.com/Tjn53m2lie— CT Society of CPAs (@ConnecticutCPAs) June 6, 2019
And if you’re worried about all of those pesky calories, just lace up your running shoes before or after — probably before, though.

Willing to make a bet, dollars to doughnuts — or donuts — on how to spell that little round treat?
According to a partnership survey of 1,000 Americans between Dunkin’ and Toluna, 57 percent of us spell it “donut,” while 43 percent insist on “doughnut.”
A winning hand might be a “donut” in one hand and a “doughnut” in the other.
