National Donut Day is celebrated, in the United States and in some other countries, on the first Friday of June each year, after succeeding the doughnut event created by the Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 to honor those of their members who served doughnut to soldiers during the World War I .
Donut Day, also called Faschnaut Day in the Pennsylvania, is a Dutch tradition of making faschnaut on Shrove Tuesday.
It was Hanson Gregory who invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847 aboard a lime-trading ship when he was 16 year old.
Canadians eat the highest quantity of doughnuts per capita, compared to all countries in the world.
