    They probably reincorporated the centers into the next batch of dough to cut waste.

    Without capitalism we wouldn’t have donut holes bro. That’s why Elon doesn’t have to pay his taxes bro. It’ll trickle down, just give it time

    For small batches of donuts, it was better to reincorporate the holes into the rest of the dough scrap in order to make more donuts.

    donut holes only became a viable item to sell when large scale baking made it possible to produce a larger quantity of donut holes.

    Did you know? Donuts were invented when a sailor put his mommy's pound cake on the spoke of a ship wheel during a storm.

      or like how oreos were invented when J. H. Nabisco accidentally dropped a package of Hydrox into a vat of flavorless chalk

    ironically, 'donut holes' are typically not made from the 'holes' of donuts.

      Imagine what would happen to the square once it started cooking. They'd still be round, just fucked up looking.

      Lot's of little places used to. they are much easier to cut out, but the holes were still round.
      There used to be a place where I lived called Tuller's that had a whole kitchen dedicated to just making doughnuts. you could watch them do it since there was a glass wall between the kitchen and the waiting line. They also made apple cider where you could watch them actually press it.
      Too bad they sold it to developers who bulldozed it and put up a Service Merchandise and strip mall.

    Only the last few donut holes of a batch were thrown away, because they couldn't be reincorporated into the rest of the dough to make a whole donut.

          It's the circle of life. You prop up one part of the chain and the whole ecosystem improves.

          Allow mosquitos to drink your blood? Sounds stupid, but this will give extra sustenance to frogs. Which will give extra sustenance to everyone who eat frogs. And then to the frog eaters. EVERYONE WIN.
          Don't be selfish.

      Friend.. the original donut looked like this.
      Then someone thought it was too Old World and decided to pluck a whole in it so you can wrap it around your finger.

        It was to carry them on a stick to sell them as they walked around.

    Tried to get the Halloween bucket of Timbits twice and both times I was told they were out of buckets. Not because they sold out but because supply issues are keeping the chain from being able to send them out to most stores. Makes me wonder why they even bother with the promotion. Maybe it's the universe's way of telling me to stop eating things out of buckets.

    I just assumed donuts were made by rolling out long strands of dough that was then cut into sections and turned into circles. I thought donut holes were a joke that made for fun marketing. Isn't that how bagels are made? Never heard of bagel holes but I have seen bagel bits.

    Donut holes are literally a waste product of the donut making process, only Americans are disgusting enough to eat literal scraps

      Canadians founded an entire chain of restaurants on those scraps.
