BLUE THING #3: Amazing New Facts and Statistics





AND NOW...
A compilation of utterly useless information brought to you by www.funtrivia.com and THE NATIONAL NEWSPICKER™.

Following is a veritable cesspool teeming with trivial items to use in pick-up lines in bars, to fill awkward silences in credit committee meetings, and to forward (via email) to the spam filters of Oprah, Bill O’Reilly, Bono, Paris Hilton, Harry Potter [either one], any member of the board of directors of Bank of America, the president or prime minister of your home nation, or one or more of your many friends, family members and people who have far too much time on their hands.

Here goes:

Commemorating the introduction of the donut to the U.S. on June 22, 1847:

Fun Facts About Donuts


Although controversial, who traditionally is known for importing doughnuts to America, around 1847?
     
    Dutch settlers. The donut (or "doughnut") is a deep-fried piece of dough or batter. It comes from the Dutch origin of olykoeck or "oily cake". The two most common types of donuts are the flattened sphere (you know...the ones that are injected with jelly or custard) and the ring donut. 
     
     
     
Which company is the world's largest coffee and baked goods chain?
     
    Dunkin' Donuts. Internationally, Dunkin' Donuts has over 1700 locations in 29 countries and over 6,000 stores in 30 countries world-wide! In the U.S. there are over 4,400 locations across 36 states. 
     
     
     
Which company, founded in 1937 proudly boasts the slogan, "Hot Original Glazed"?
     
    Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme is probably best known for their fresh, hot, glazed, yeast-raised doughnuts. The company's "Hot Doughnuts Now" flashing sign is an integral part of the brands appeal and fame. 
     
     
     
     
    Which Entenmann's doughnut is the company's top seller in 2005?
       
      Rich Frosted Chocolate Dipped. Introduced in 1972, the Rich Frosted Chocolate Dipped doughnut has become a favorite among consumers. More than 168 million pounds of chocolate has been used to produce the doughnuts. Image how many swimming pools you could fill with that amount of chocolate! 
       
       
      Which is NOT one of Dunkin' Donuts top selling donuts as of 2005?
        Coconut Crunch. Jelly-filled and Chocolate frosted also rank as their top sellers. Coconut Crunch, although not a number one seller, still remains one of the over 52 varieties of donuts the chain produces on a yearly basis. 
         
         
         
         
      Which chain produced the world's largest edible doughnut in 1998?
         
        Winchell's House of Donuts. You may also know Winchell's by its other name, "Home of the Fresh 'n Warm Donut" The store located in Pasadena, CA, created a gigantic version of their apple fritter doughnut. It weighed 5000 pounds and stood 95 feet in diameter! 
         
         
         
      What is the name given to the popular Polish doughnut, which is now being marketed in many U.S. grocery stores today?
         
        Paczki. The others are also types of doughnuts from other regions around the world. The popular deep-fried Paczki's are usually filled with jams such as raspberry, strawberry, lemon ,and prune. They are pronounced (poonch-key) and have deep roots in Polish heritage and history. 
         
         
         
         
      According to an article published by Restaurant.org in 2002, what is the estimated number of doughnuts that Americans consume annually?
         
        10 billion. It really is too big of a number when you consider that as of 1997, there were 6,792 doughnut shops in the U.S. alone. In 2005, I can only imagine that the number of doughnut shops has increased dramatically. Unfortunately, 1997 was the last year that all overall statistics and data is available on this subject (or at least that I can find!).
         
         
         
         
         
        According to a 2004 report by USA Today, doughnut sales increased 9% in 2003. According to the same article, how much is the U.S. doughnut industry worth?
           
          $3.6 billion. USA Today also reports that the three fastest-growing chains in the U.S. are (in order) Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme, and Tim Horton's. 
           
           
           
           
        Nationally, what is Randy's Donuts best known for?



        Big Donut Drive-In. Randy's Donuts is a landmark in Inglewood, CA. The 22 foot diameter donut on top of the building was built in 1952. The giant donut has been featured in many TV shows as well as many popular movies, such as "Mars Attacks" and "Coming to America".
