This Is The First Donut In Space

The USA has always been a pioneer of space travel and donut technology. However, it took a few Norwegian scientists to send the first donut into space.

The First Donut In Space was made possible by attaching a strawberry-frosted donut to a weather balloon, and letting it ascend into the stratosphere. The only bad part is that good things eventually come to an end, and the donut quickly plummets back to Earth.

The Swedish Sea Rescue Society was needed to recover the grounded space donut. No mention if they got to eat it.

Pop-Tart Stuffed Donuts Exist

How do you improve upon the already perfect donut and the almighty Pop-Tart? If you’re The Donut Bar in southern California, you have the two join forces into one very large treat.

The Big Poppa Tart is the result of stuffing a donut with a Pop-Tart. And, if you’re thinking that this would make for an obscenely large food item, you would be correct. Using a few adults for scale, the Big Poppa Tart appears to be the size of a small toddler.

Krispy Kreme Bacon Hot Dog Is Here To Help Save Baseball

After the Churro Dog was introduced, and immediately made baseball more interesting, along comes a food item that will make nine innings seem like a monster truck rally in an active volcano.

The Krispy Kreme Bacon Hot Dog sees your Churro Dog and raises you a doughnut, bacon, tubed meat and raspberry jelly. The franken-food is being served to unsuspecting patrons at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, DE. — home to the minor-league Blue Rocks.

Unfortunately, the concoction is without a proper name. So, they’re crowdsourcing official names for this thing, and rewarding winners with tickets to a baseball game. Just make sure to grab a Krispy Kreme Doughnut while you’re there — it’ll help.
