10 Fun Facts about Doughnuts

A weekend would be incomplete without munching on a doughnut on a Sunday afternoon, but the last one would be different. You were looking forward to a warm day, which would signal the start of the summer season. It was quite cold (or so you thought). You had your first doughnut, and you didn't plan on munching on the second one right away. And you wondered about this piece of dough. It was deep-fried and sweetened. There would be a National Doughnut Day.

Your housemate told you about the free doughnuts from Randy Donuts. It became an iconic store after its brief appearance in "Iron Man 2". (Superheroes can indulge on their favorite snacks now and then.) But it would be from 6 AM to 12 NN. You were bummed, as you rather wake up late. (It was summer or so you thought.) You talked about the greatest donuts moments, which amused you. It was useless information provided by some film enthusiasts, who have nothing better to do. They became addicted to watching movies, unaware that they turned into a walking imdb. com. Anything to help you ease the pressure, though.

Al Pacino's Dunkaccino Commercial in "Jack and Jill" wasn't bad as it seemed to be. (Adam Sandler played twins, but you'd rather not get into details. Your mates dragged you into watching it, and you tried not to put the blame on them.) If this was the least they could do to promote doughnuts, then Mr. Pacino didn't disappoint at all. You would prefer him over White Goodman, played by Ben Stiller. "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" was truly a guilty pleasure, which you wished to be your assignment. But it won't happen. (You doubt if the faculty have seen "Reality Bites", even tried to listen to the songs by The Knack.) No one have seen "Transformers" (or the plate of doughnuts).

You were tempted to bite your second doughnut until you remembered the charger attached to Mr. Goodman's nipples. (It was an extreme way to deprive himself of a doughnut, which you would never do. Beer could be a good substitute.) What was the point of celebrating National Doughnut Day? No one seemed to agree on one reason (at least), so you ended up with five different reasons. Here they are:

Doughnuts saved our soldiers during the war. You haven't heard the Salvation Army if you were unfamiliar with this story. It was a good thing that your housemate knew too much, which made you green with envy at one point.

Some of the most memorable film scenes featured a doughnut. Brundlefly ate a doughnut, which made you want to vomit (the doughnut you ate a while ago). You saw "The Fly", which was a part of your viewing list last year. You haven't thought of doughnuts for the next few months.

No one would turn down a freebie. Some complained about Dunkin Donuts' promo, where they must buy a beverage to get a free doughnut. It would be incomplete without coffee or milk, but you opted for orange juice.

Doughnuts would be part of America's food pyramid. You also couldn't imagine a life without pizza, burger, and soda. You were a growing boy, so you needed nourishment. But your housemates kept on looking on your love handles. You couldn't recall the last time you hit the gym.

You missed Voodoo Doughnuts. And you didn't have any malevolent feelings towards another student in the English Department.

You were a bit hungry. You couldn't wait for your second. And you might have your third doughnut.
