Donuts (or if you prefer, doughnuts) have been around in one form or another since ancient times. Of course, there have been a lot of innovations along the way, the most famous being the hole that gives donuts their iconic shape. There’s also been a continuous introduction of new flavors, glazings, frostings, fillings, and toppings – all of which make donuts so delightfully varied today.
In addition to being the perfect complement to your morning coffee, donuts also serve up some rich material for wordplay. The following list includes puns about glazed donuts, jelly donuts, birthday donuts, donut holes, sprinkles, and much more. In other words, if you’re into sugary fried pastries and silly wordplay, you donut want to miss it.
