Donuts are love, and to celebrate this love, there are two dedicated doughnut days that are the first Friday of June and the 5th of November. The first is associated with World War I, while the second is donut appreciation day. Let’s see if any cafe or store is offering any deals, offers, or free donuts on this donut day.
It turns out that punching a small circle out of the center keeps the dough from getting too greasy during the frying process. There are many ways to get your fill of doughnuts on Donut Day, from driving around town filling up on free doughnuts to dressing up as your favorite doughnut-loving character.
Think of the ultimate donut lover, and none other than Homer Simpson will pop into your mind. This loveable goof-up, doofus dad of The Simpsons is known to be led by his appetite and would happily exchange his soul for a single donut. While at work at the Springfield Nuclear Plant, Homer is often distracted by the allure of a pink-frosted donut, but in the end, the town never blows up and the big guy gets his snack.
There are several Homer Simpson Halloween costumes that would be "tasteful" to wear on Donut Day. A typical Homer costume features blue pants and a white shirt; if you have a spare tire around the middle, let it all hang out; if not, you can slip a padded costume belly under your shirt. A Homer Simpson costume also needs a latex map of his bald, endearing mug to be complete.
Another costume for Donut Day is to suit up as a member of a profession that is so linked to donuts that it is hard not to crack a joke. Policemen, stereotyped in a good-natured way, have long been accused of having a weak spot for coffee shops serving donuts around the clock.
If you think about it, a donut makes a good carb-loaded pick-me-up for the hard-working cop on the night shift. Dressing up in a policeman costume is a funny costume idea, especially when you can get a great costume prop to accent the look, like a donut purse that attaches to the arm via a handcuff.
Another way to be the sweet center of attention on Donut Day is to dress up as a larger-than-life donut in a Halloween costume that is designed as a huge "O"-shaped sheath embellished with faux sprinkles. Or, dress up as a donut baker in a costume that features a white apron, puffy white apron, rolling pin, and box of donuts.
