Get a free donut from Krispy Kreme (today only)

(Credit: Krispy Kreme)

If there's a Krispy Kreme near you, don't be surprised if it's the nexus of a stampede. Today, June 6, is National Donut Day (who knew?), meaning you can score yourself a free circle of glazed goodness. Check the Krispy Kreme store locator to find a shop near you.

Alas, my closest KK is 18.77 miles away; the gas would cost more than the donut. What does any of this have to do with technology? Nothing... but it's a free donut, people!

I almost always get free donuts at KK every time I've been there. They usually hand them out if there's a line--maybe that's changed since people realized it was killing them from the inside.

Are you serious, Doughnuts? ... I thought your tag line was "Rick Broida scours the Web for great deals on tech"

C'mon folks! The doughnuts are REALLY good, and yes, they usually hand them out while the hot light is on, but this is an all-day offer. Any day you're driving by and the hot light is on, stop in. You'll be glad you did. :-])

The first time I went into a Krispy Kreme and drooled at the sight of the production line (I don't know if all KKs have make the donuts on-site) they asked me if it was my first time there, and when I said yes they handed me a hot one off the line. WOW! was it good
