No one eats them all; they are for sharing. Does the rest of the world not buy donuts for other people? Pol x, a box of donuts is not a weird idea. No one eats them all; they are for sharing.

The box pictured looks like it could fit 30. They even have curry donuts in Japan too. Yes, you heard me right, curry donuts.

How does demanding donuts (or doughnuts) protest a new feature? Were they protesting that video din't belong on Flickr? Or protesting that only Pro users got it? I Demand An Explanation.

It exists only in North America as far as I've seen. From the very far north of Scotland through all of Scandinavia,all of mainland Europe, over to Australia and NZ, if you want a donut or a patisserie or a sticky bun, you go and buy one. ONE. How on earth did the idea of buying a BOX of donuts become normalised in your country? It is like gluttony at it's absolute zenith. As a small aside, the box of donuts is a very weird idea.
