Diet? I donut know what you're talking about.

Donut lovers, get ready! It’s National Donut Day and we’ve got the scoop on the best funny memes, tweets and GIFs celebrating this glorious day, plus details on where and how to get free donuts.
Before I let you in on the donut hotspots, let me clear up a common misconception. Donut AND doughnut are both acceptable, so stop arguing over the correct spelling and enjoy the day.
Now that that’s out of the way, if you’re looking for a freebie there are three places out there offering free donuts nationwide.
First off, Dunkin Donuts is participating this year by giving away a free donut with the purchase of a beverage. They know that coffee and donuts just go together.
Next on the list is Krispy Kreme. Head to your nearest KK for some free hot breakfast cakes and enjoy the glazed goodness they have to offer.
And lastly, Walmart has decided to join in on the fun. The supercenter is giving away glazed donuts all day!
Don’t forget to check your local bakeries and donuts shops for deals, too!
Diet, RIP. I’m heading to the nearest donut joint.
