In search of a ruinous donut

Sexpigeon today published a devastating treatise on the donut in modern American society:

There have been efforts in our nation’s cities to better the donut. The concept of a donut is simple and unassailable, the manifestation of a donut is cheap to execute. How, then, to better a donut? So far the answer has been the same answer pizza and coffee were given back in the 1990s: get goofy with the flavors.

So now we’ve got hibiscus donuts, pb&j donuts, passionfruit donuts, carrot cake donuts, blood orange donuts with candied blood orange slices on top. These retail for two to four times the cost of an ordinary donut. You don’t mind paying this because the product is so very novel. You can tell your mom that in [American city x] they sell donuts that taste like Earl Grey tea, and she will be delighted in the mode of “what’ll they think of next,” and you can congratulate yourself for being a well-informed man-about-town. Rather large rewards for what amounts to an extra dollar or three.

Read on for the author’s take on how to better appreciate donuts worth appreciating.

    A better donut has been around for years. Centuries, even. It’s called a bagel.
