I had no clue until others were talking about it. I'm not much a doughnut person but thought I'd share with you all in case someone here is :)
It's National Doughnut Day, and you know what that means -- FREE DOUGHNUTS!
The Salvation Army created the holiday, which is always celebrated on the first Friday in June, in 1917 to boost the morale of troops fighting in WWI. According to holidayinsights.com, those doughnuts were fried in oil inside an American soldier's metal helmet.
Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme (http://www.newsday.com/topic/economy-business-finance/krispy-kreme-doughnuts-ORCRP008773.topic) outlets both are commemorating the holiday by giving out free doughnuts.
To get your freebee at Dunkin' Donuts, you'll need to buy a drink. But there are no strings attached at Krispy Kreme.
