National Donut Day and Toffee Donuts

Today is National Doughnut Day, launched by the Chicago Salvation Army in 1938 as a fundraiser and tribute to volunteers who served soldiers donuts in WWI. Dunkin Donuts is celebrating National Donut Day by giving out free donuts with any drink purchase, so you can caffeinate and fatten yourself to your heart's content today.

In other donut news, Dunkin is launching a new donut, the result of a cutthroat worldwide donut competition. The winning donut is Toffee for Your Coffee, a glazed sour cream donut with Heath Bar bits. It was created by some dude from Alabama. Southerners know their donuts, and we love toffee, so we're interested in trying this new rhymed item. Sadly, the toffee donut will not be available until September, leaving us with the same tired ol' donut options as always, for now. At least they're free today!
