“Mmm, donuts.”
Those are the words of the iconic character Homer Simpson, of the long-running animated comedy, The Simpsons.
Those words will be said by many this Friday, also known as “National Donut Day.” Celebrated annually on the first Friday of June each year, the holiday actually has roots that date back to the mid-1930s.
To celebrate everyone’s favorite circle of fried dough, here’s a look back at when Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning surprised customers when he took the counter at a local Dunkin’ Donuts in Secaucus.
The surprise appearance five years ago kicked off a partnership between the popular donut chain and the two-time Super Bowl MVP.
