💨 Abstract

National Doughnut Day, observed on the first Friday of June, started in 1938 in the U.S. to honor Salvation Army volunteers who provided doughnuts to WWI soldiers. The day celebrates the comfort these volunteers brought to the troops. Over time, the observance has inspired various world records, including the largest doughnut and the most doughnuts eaten in a set time.
