Happy Donut Day
In case you don’t know, Friday is National Donut Day. Both Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts will be handing out free donuts.
At Dunkin Donuts you’ll have to purchase a beverage to get the gratis goodie (bottled sodas don’t count) while at Krispy Kreme you’ll have your pick of donuts without any purchase.
Though it sounds like a totally made-up holiday, National Donut Day is actually legit. It was begun in Chicago in 1938 by The Salvation Army to honor women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. So if you didn’t properly reflect on those who served our country on Memorial Day weekend, this is a chance to reflect on those women who served those who serve.
Simpler coffee/snack runs – Dunkin' Run
Dunkin’ Run looks like a great new tool from Dunkin’ Donuts. It lets you send a message to your friends/colleagues informing them you’re about to make a run to Dunkin’, then lets them also place an order. Here’s a look at the website (there’s also an iPhone app):
In Dallas, my colleagues and I used to do TCBY frozen yogurt runs at least once a week, and this would have made it much simpler!
Near HM&P it would be nice to do this for Goodberry’s…or even for Cook-Out milkshakes…or really any of the various food places!
Has anyone tried it? Thoughts on if it will be successful?
