Huh. That's interesting. I can't even remember the last time I bought a donut, much less a dozen of them. I never even really think about getting a donut. I ran across a donut shop today on a job I was doing. It was afternoon and their case was full. I wondered what they do with all of them at the end of the day. They must throw out a bunch of them each day. Or maybe they sell them to a gas station or something.

A very good documentary about this topic is The Donut King on Hulu. Features a Cambodian refugee who became the largest owner of shops in the West by forming a way of putting other Cambodian families in business. So successful, they pushed Dunkin out of the West Coast for eons. Couldn't compete w the family model. He had an incredible gambling addiction after years of wealth and it all but crumbled for him. Fascinating shite. Great watch.
