Brace for sugar: National Doughnut Day is on the way.
The event, held this year on June 7, isn't a new tradition. Perhaps surprisingly, it’s dipped in patriotic history.
National Doughnut Day originated in 1938 to pay tribute to the Salvation Army volunteers who provided doughnuts to Uncle Sam’s soldiers during World War I. According to doughnut lore, those "Donut Lassies" were the reason the fried treats caught on in the United States after the troops returned home.
