It’s National Doughnut Day

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV/ CNN) - One of America's favorite sweet treats gets its own day, twice a year.

The First National Doughnut Day of the year is Friday (today).

This one honors the Salvation Army women who served the pastry to soldiers during world war one.

It's obvious how to celebrate, enjoy some doughnuts.

Pick some up at the grocery store or coffee or doughnut shop or if you're ambitious, make your own at home.

Some fun facts about doughnuts, America eats 10 billion doughnuts a year. That's about 31 doughnuts per person.

And the signature hole in the middle is said to have begun to help the doughnuts cook more evenly.

You can look forward to indulging again on the other National Doughnut Day on November 5th.
