Who Put the Hole in the Donut?
Football and a rags-to-riches story-perhaps the only things that America loves more than donuts. But the delectable rings of sugar and dough didn't always appear in their now-ubiquitous circular form. So where did the donut’s shape (and its signature hole) come from? The curious story involves a boastful sea captain, a Massachusetts Native American with unparalleled aim, and a national debate. With the help of food historian Michael Krondl, we get to the center of this deep-fried mystery.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Alright, let's be real here everyone. We all want to be the guy who shoots through each donut with a handgun.
I’m so stupid I just realized why Dunkin’ Donuts is called what’s it called
Wish I wasn't broke so I could go buy some donuts
Rip green sprinkle the fell out of the sprinkled donut
Many donut were harmed in the making on this video.
The Real Question You Should Be Asking Is: How Do They Get The Doughnuts To Roll Like That?
If donuts didn’t have a hole in them, they would be called the “dnut”.
I for one choose to believe that the whole in the donut reflects the whole in my heart while I eat the donut to console myself.
False, a British guy named Dio did

There is also another story. People back then were upset because the donut had a soggy center. So one day, a woman decided to put a hole in the donut to stop it from being soggy. I read this in a book a while back.
there's another tale about the pony express that seems pretty viable to me. a young rider (age not given) would be flying through towns as he dropped off his letters. since he had traveled through many towns repeatedly the young ladies of the town wanted to give him food on the run. so they poked a hole in the donut and put them on a stick (a donut kabab if you will). then as the young rider came through the town he could grab the "kabab" and continue his route without pause.
