The Consumerist reports
“June 5th, is National Doughnut Day. Why do you care about this? Because it is your opportunity to grab yourself a free doughnut. And as we all know, free doughnuts have no calories. Actually, that is a lie.
In honor of National Doughnut Day, participating Krispy Kremes are offering one free doughnut per customer, no purchase necessary.
(We feel compelled to mention that the company just released their earnings and the news wasn't good. Fiscal first-quarter earnings skidded 53%. So, maybe if you're feeling generous and want to take pity on them, you might want to buy a coffee while you're there.)
Dunkin' Donuts also has a deal -- participating locations will give every customer a free doughnut of their choice, with the purchase of any beverage, limit one per customer.
if you're the sort to get annoyed easily, call first to see if locations are participating.”
This is interesting, why?. Well the CTC are a notoriously tight fisted bunch who will go to any lengths not to spend money, remember 101 uses of an inner tube !!. They will cycle miles out of their way to get 10p of a Scone and a Latte. Consider also that the Scottish are a notoriously “grippy” race with deep pockets and short arms. So if you were a Scottish member of the CTC you would probably have reached the pinnacle of miserliness, have a wallet from within which the monarch on the money blinks when she sees daylight and be rueing the day the establishment removed the 1/2p coin from circulation.
So the very thought of free food, doughnuts or otherwise must have them route planning and pannier packing. As much as I would love to see them in their hoards plodding to Dunkin’ Donuts I have to share the following bad news with my Grampian colleagues.
THE CLOSEST OUTLET IS IN ENGLAND.
Dave and Mark will be kicking themselves, with tired, toned and tanned legs, that they didn’t delay their epic ride for a week.
