HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Tuesday, Nov. 5 is a convergence of two very different things. Or, at least, we perceive them to be very different. Today is, of course, the election that will decide who the next United States President will be; but it's also National Doughnut Day! Get Hawaii's latest morning news delivered to your inbox, sign up for News 2 You Doughnuts and elections might seem very different, but they actually have a lot in common! First, both are filled with choices. When you go to a doughnut shop, you see all kinds of delicious flavors, like chocolate glaze, sprinkles or maple bacon. Similarly, during elections, you have a choice of candidates and issues, each one with its own unique ideas, just like each of those tasty doughnuts. Both doughnuts and elections can be a little messy. Imagine the icing dripping down your fingers while you enjoy your favorite treat. Now think about debates and campaign rallies, where things can get a bit wild and loud. Just like a doughnut can have extra sprinkles or toppings, elections often have many layers with different opinions and debates swirling around. Another fun similarity is how both can bring people together. On National Doughnut Day, friends, colleagues and families often gather to share doughnuts and enjoy each other's company. During election time, people come together to discuss their opinions and vote. It’s all about being part of something bigger! Both doughnuts and elections can leave you feeling satisfied or wanting more. After devouring a doughnut, you might feel happy and content. After voting, you might feel proud and excited about the choices you've made for your community and country. So, whether you’re munching on a doughnut or casting your vote in the 2024 elections, remember: it’s all about making choices, enjoying the experience and coming together as a community! Celebrate both today and enjoy every bite and ballot! We also thought you might like some guidance on where to get the best doughnuts and where to drop off those ballots. So, here ya go.
