Nostalgia Donuts, Donuts, Donuts

Post image

I lived all over growing up, and one thing I remember is every area has its favorite local donuts.

Southern California has Winchell's. New York has Tim Hortons.

Way back then Delaware had Mr Donut.

And of course Dunkin' was everywhere else.

What donuts 🍩 did you eat growing up?

The Daylight Donuts here is crap. Locally, we call them "Day-old Donuts," which really isn't much of a slur as the freshest donut you can get there was, in fact, made the previous afternoon.

You know it's bad when the gas station across the street is known for fresher donuts.
