My take on the doughnut craze

Yes, you've seen them around, you've seen people queueing up for them in Citylink, in Raffles city, and hey, you can see queues for doughnuts for almost everywhere that sell doughnuts.

First, lets look at what doughnuts actually are. As quoted from Wikipedia "A doughnut, or donut, is a sweet, deep-fried piece of dough or batter. The two most common types are the torus-shaped ring doughnut and the filled doughnut, a flattened sphere injected with jam/jelly, cream, custard, or another sweet filling. A small spherical piece of dough, originally made from the middle of a ring doughnut, may be cooked as a doughnut hole."

What's it about really? Why are people suddenly so crazy about the sugary coated deeply fried dough with practically no nutritional values whatsoever? For the sugar rush? because it looks nice?

Is it just me, or have we all forgotton about the Bubble Tea and Breadtalk's Revolution?

I think give it a few more months, and when people start getting fatter like what they did during the Bubble Tea era, this thing may start to become a norm.

And perhaps there will also be less queues, and i'll be able to get MY doughnut, or not.
