A couple weekends ago, while on a road trip, a friend mentioned she'd heard you could tell a person's personality by their donut choice. We all immediately began discussing our favorite donuts - classic glazed, chocolate frosted, buttermilk. I favor Dunkin' Donuts - chocolate glazed or coconut - despite having grown up half an hour away from a drive-through Krispy Kreme store where you could get hot , melt-in-your-mouth glazed donuts right off the conveyor belt. Not that those aren't good - I just like the greater heft of a Dunkin Donuts cake donut. You can eat two and actually feel full. Or eat, say, five and feel really, really full. So I Googled "donuts" and "personality" and came up with several quizzes and guides to donuts and human nature. The What Donuts Are You? quiz tells me I'm a Boston creme, tough on the outside but a gushy traditionalist within. Fry My Bacon's guide to donut personality tells me that my choice, coconut, makes me a mostly serene creature with a yearning for tropical places, yet prone to sudden fits of rage. Interesting. And woe on the double chocolate lovers - greedy, decadent, but never truly satisfied!

I am a jelly donut...
So you're a little rounder than most folks - but it's only in the right places!
You maintain a clean exterior, even if you're all messy on the inside.
You think you're the best, and that's mostly true...
But remember, you're just an empty shell without your jelly!

Apparently I too am a Bostom Cream. Really though, the best doughnut I've had is the Bacon Maple Bar from Voodoo Doughnuts ( http://voodoodoughnut.com/ )here in Portland, OR. Forced to a choice between Krispy Kreme and Dunkin', I'd always choose Dunkin everytime... though they all closed up around here except for one in Salem 50 miles south of me.

Ok, I'm glazed, too. I'm cool with that.

"You Are a Powdered Devil's Food Donut: A total sweetheart on the outside, you love to fool people with your innocent image.On the inside you're a little darker, richer, and more complex. You're a hedonist who demands more than one pleasure at a time.Decadent and daring, you test the limits of human indulgence."
Oh that's too funny! Thanks for posting it. It's true too. Only thing, that's one very American quiz of course. Up here in Canada, Tim Horton's is King, I've never seen a Dunkin Doughnuts or Krispy Kreme.

For the quiz, the only question, it seems, that changes your results is the first. I bet everyone who drinks milk with their doughnuts is a plain doughnut. Mint Coffee = sprinkles; Coffee is a Boston creme, etc.
As for the second, I actually LIKE plain cake doughnuts and I get invited to parties. I care about people around me. I guess the fact that I dissected the above quiz shows I'm a party pooper though. :)
