    I love the holes. They’re all surface area. Fried bread with sugar glaze—how much better can it get?

    Hubby was in a Toastmasters humorous speech contest. Came in second to a fellow whose speech was on donut holes.

    I was always told that they put the hole in the doughnut so that they will bake evenly.

    It’s a marketing ploy so you buy doughnut holes ;-) .

    It’s a marketing ploy to get more money for less … The big get bigger (the holes) and the small (doughnuts diameter and thickness) …get smaller … They should start calling them “diet doughnuts”…

    In Canada donut holes are called Timbits.

    By leaving a hole in the doughnut they can then sell the missing piece to you as a doughnut hole. It’s charging you twice for the same doughnut

    We put jam in ours. Yes, I know that Americans call jam ‘jelly’. What do they call jelly then?

    A hole was put in the doughnut because fried doughnut holes are delicious, Brutus!

    It limits how much of a bite to take, without the hole one would be tempted to reach too far and by the time you got to the other side, you would be shorted.

    Well, the donuts covered with chocolate or cinnamon are great since you have more covering per donut. Although, when I was younger, I used to go ape over cream filled pastries from the Krispy Kreme.

    The practical reason was for them to cook up more evenly.However, who would complain if they just made them bigger and with more frosting…..,,

    No hole = soggy donut. Hole lets donut cook nice and firm inside also.

    To allow for proper cooking. The holes are also cooked and sold.

    Donuts of all kinds are not just Brutus’s weakness. I’m in that camp too. Brutus should head over to Tim Horton’s where they sell them separately as Tim Bits. That way you pay twice!

    Customer: Waiter! There’s a hair in my hamburger!

    Waiter: That’s because the cook presses the paddy in his armpit.

    Customer: That’s disgusting!

    Waiter: You think that’s disgusting? You should see how the guy down the street makes his doughnuts!

    Because they used to stack them on pegs for display. Oh wait, that was bagels. Maybe they got the idea from the bagel makers.

    I remember reading a story as a kid that a ship captain invented the hole in the donut. It let him put the donut on the ship’s wheel in an emergency and still keep his treat close by.
