Bloomberg Celebrates National Donut Day on June first

The event featured a signed Proclamation Letter by the mayor honoring the 75th annual National Donut Day at Madison Square Park where the largest box of Entenmann’s Donuts ever created was unveiled.


On Friday, Bloomberg was challenged about celebrating National Donut Day days after revealing his soda proposal.

“One donut is not going to hurt you, in moderation, most things are OK,” Bloomberg said while appearing on The Today Show. “That’s what we’re trying to do with soft drinks, is get you to drink in moderation. So instead of getting the big 32-ounce, get two 16-ounce drinks if you want. But history shows, all the tests show, that you’ll probably only drink one.”
