Dough Doughnuts is giving out free doughnuts this week—here's how to get them
Even with a shortened work week, we could all use a sweet pick-me-up, and our favorite way to get a sugary jolt is, ideally, with a free treat. Conveniently, the dough-punching folks over at Dough Doughnuts—one of the best doughnut shops in New York, known for its fluffy brioche-based doughnuts and fun artisanal flavors—are offering mini versions of their beloved desserts this week and, best of all, they're free.
Yes, to celebrate the extended hours at the bakery chain 's Flatiron location (14 W 19th St at Fifth Avenue), Dough will be doling out free mini doughnuts from 7 pm to 8 pm through Thursday, May 29. "We're staying open later—and celebrating with free flavor tasting!" announced the brand. "Come by during our new extended hours and discover your next favorite doughnut."
The scaled-down, small-batch rounds—which, knowing Dough, are still far heftier than your usual munchkin—come in varying flavors each day, so you can come back a different day and enjoy an entirely new dough sensation. (Recent Dough flavors include Raspberry White Chocolate, Mango Coconut, and sweet and tangy Hibiscus.) Along with the free mini doughnuts, the Flatiron outpost will also be selling their regular-sized doughnuts as a two-for-one-deal from 7pm to 8pm through May 29. Consider it an extra-sweet happy hour!
The new hours of operation at Dough Flatiron are 8am to 8pm on Mondays through Fridays, and 9am to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays, or until the doughnuts are sold out.
Dough's mini doughnut giveaway nicely ushers sweet tooths into June, during which you can celebrate National Doughnut Day next Friday, June 6. As has become annual tradition, big-name doughnut chains like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Tim Hortons will offer free doughnuts or discounted treats; beloved local shops like Doughnut Plant are also expected to participate. Stay tuned!

Krispy Kreme calls out doughnut 'dupes' with cheeky part-exchange scheme
Krispy Kreme calls out doughnut 'dupes' with cheeky part-exchange scheme The doughnut company is calling out knock-offs of its signature Original Glazed treat by offering to swap any half-eaten imitations from other brands, on Friday June 6th, National Doughnut Day Krispy Kreme is stirring up a storm with a cheeky 'part exchange' scheme, set to take place on Friday June 6th, in celebration of National Doughnut Day. The doughnut giant is challenging rivals by offering customers the chance to trade in any half-eaten non-Krispy Kreme doughnuts for their signature Original Glazed ones. A team of Krispy Kreme experts will be stationed in stores to 'verify' these knock-offs by closely inspecting the texture, glaze cracks and recognisable shape. Those who bring in a counterfeit version can anticipate a delicious reward, with thousands of free doughnuts ready to be claimed across UK and Ireland outlets. The move follows a survey, conducted among 2,000 adults, which found that 73 per cent felt let down by "fake" food and beverage purchases. For those duped by imitations, 79 per cent felt the substitutes weren't quite up to scratch, whereas 72 per cent were willing to spend more for an authentic product.

But we all know a dupe is rarely as good as the real thing." Urging customers to favour authenticity, they added: "We want doughnut fans to enjoy the best of the best, so turn your backs on the dupes and stick with the original." It follows insights from the OnePoll-led study which highlighted that merely 21 per cent of consumers believed the knock-offs they purchased matched the quality of the originals, with some 10 per cent consistently feeling disenchanted with their buys.

Article continues below Lady Leshurr, known for her appearances on Celebrity Masterchef, Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, and Dancing on Ice, recorded the song as a direct challenge to 'fake' baked goods. Lady Leshurr stated: "For me, an original is always the best thing, whether that's music or doughnuts. You have to remind people who the originals are, otherwise history gets rewritten by the copycats."

Krispy Kreme to give away free glazed doughnuts on June 6
The company wants to reclaim their title "as the OG of the glazed doughnut". Therefore, they are encouraging customers to bring 'Faux-G doughnuts' into a Krispy Kreme store, which they can "upgrade" to an original glazed doughnut for free. A "Faux-G doughnut" is defined as being a glazed doughnut from another shop that could be seen as an "inferior imitation". A post shared by Krispy Kreme UK (@krispykremeuk) Customers will need to bring their "Faux-G doughnut" into a Krispy Kreme store or show proof of purchase (such as with a receipt) to claim their free original glazed doughnut on Friday, June 6. The offer will only be available for one day, with it being limited to one redemption per person. Guy Meakin, Krispy Kreme UK President, said: "They say imitation is the ultimate form of flattery, and we have seen many copies of our iconic doughnuts over the years. But we all know a dupe is rarely as good as the real thing. Nothing compares to the melt-in-your-mouth experience of a fresh Original Glazed. "This National Doughnut Day, we're inviting everyone to taste the difference and remind them that when it comes to doughnuts, there's only one OG. A post shared by Krispy Kreme UK (@krispykremeuk) "We want doughnut fans to enjoy the best of the best, so turn your backs on the dupes and stick with the original. We're excited to see the reactions as people upgrade their 'Faux-Gs' for the real deal." As part of the campaign, rapper Lady Leshurr has released her brand new single, Run This Glaze, which is a diss track playfully calling out 'imitators' of the Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts. Krispy Kreme is an American company that was set up back in July 1937 by Vernon Rudolph. It started in North Carolina, seeing steady growth over the decades, with it opening its first store in the UK in October 2003. This original store was situated in the Harrods department store in London before it shut in 2011, with there now being 120 locations in the UK. As part of an April Fool's Day campaign back in 2017, Krispy Kreme claimed they were going to change their name to 'Krispy Cream'. As reported by The Mirror, this was to avoid the issue of Brits not knowing whether to pronounce 'Kreme' as 'cream' or the more French-sounding 'crème'.

At the time, the company said after "much consideration", Krispy Kreme has taken the decision to rebrand in the UK and distance the UK franchise from its US counterpart. The Shannon Corner store in London did actually roll out a store rebrand to try and sell this, before it was eventually revealed as a joke.
