On Saturday, Feb. 8, over 5,000 runners participated in an unusual charity race that raised about $35,000 for the North Carolina Children's Hospital by taking the Krispy Kreme Challenge. The race begins with a two-mile run to the Krispy Kreme shop, an unusual spot for a race rest station. There the runners need to down a dozen glazed doughnuts, before running two miles back to the starting line. Consider it an out-and-back run with a gluttonous rest stop. The goal is to complete the race within an hour and not to toss your doughnuts in the process.

This reminds me of that guy who's only eating bacon for the entire month of February, but at least these people are getting some exercise. Are you curious to know how many calories are in one dozen Krispy Kreme donuts? Then read more

Doughnut USB Device: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I've already eaten a plastic pumpkin worth of Halloween candy in the last week, but this Doughnut Shaped device has me salivating and ready for a bakery run.

I've already eaten a plastic pumpkin worth of Halloween candy in the last week, but this Doughnut Shaped device has me salivating and ready for a bakery run. It's not as intricate or scrumptious looking as the Sushi USB devices, but who wouldn't want to back up their work if they could whip out a doughnut to do so? According to Gizmodo, you can get one for just $3.63 — if you buy 500 of them.

What's Your Favorite Kind of Doughnut?

No one knows exactly when or where doughnuts came about, but one of the stories out there states that on June 22, 1847, disgusted by the uncooked centers of his mom's fry-cakes, Hanson Crockett Gregory cut out the centers so that they would cook more evenly.

Even if it's not true, it definitely got me thinking about doughnuts and I wondered, what's your favorite kind of doughnut?
