How did doughnut become donut?
Whether you’ve had one for breakfast or as a mid day treat…have you ever stopped to wonder why this common pastry favorite has an additional shortened spelling? Buzz60’s Natasha Abellard has the story.
Krispy Kreme’s annual “Day of the Dozens” is Saturday and comes with a sweet doughnut deal.
With the purchase of any dozen doughnuts at the regular price Saturday, get a dozen of the chain’s Original Glazed Doughnuts for $1. It’s a play on the date Dec. 12 (12/12).
Doughnuts in the limited-time Holiday Collection, which includes the new holiday-inspired Festive Tree and Present doughnuts and the returning Santa Belly Doughnut are included in the offer.
