I swear ALL my posts won't be about food, but this fodder was just too funny to resist...
Just as Sonic resturants were celebrating the wonders of 'Free Float Day', today people of the 'US of A' are celebrating National Donut Day!
Always falling on the first Friday in June, HolidayInsights.com says the holiday originally "honors the Salvation Army 'Lassies' of WWI," and is also used to raise money for the Salvation Army.

There actually IS some history behind this kooky, (but delicious!) holiday! These volunteer 'lassies' were sent to the front lines of Europe to crank out home-cooked foods and also provide some vital moral support for the troops. HolidayInsights.com even says that these donuts were often cooked in oil inside of the soldier's helmets...(yum, right?)
The first celebration of the holiday came around in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise funds during the Great Depression. They copied the original scheme of making donuts for the troops, and thus 'National Donut Day' is born!
So that leaves me wondering... - Anyone cruising by Krispy Kreme?
