Did you know: The Salvation Army started National Donut Day in 1938 to honor the Donut Lassies, who handed out donuts to soldiers in World War One.

They're hosting the annual World Donut Eating Championship today in D.C.  A professional eater named James Webb set a new record last year after he ate 70 glazed donuts in eight minutes.

Here are a few fun facts to help celebrate National Donut Day:

1.  56% of us have brought donuts to work before.  And 51% think more highly of people who do it. Especially if they are the fancy donuts with crazy flavors and glitter on them.

2.  Only 1% of Americans "hate" donuts.

3.  A recent poll found our favorite types are glazed, Boston cream, chocolate frosted, jelly, and chocolate cake. Personally, I do not think there is donut I wouldn't eat. Sweet little nuggets of future health problem are too good to say no to.
