A plain bagel is far superior to a plain donut. Donuts are pretty light and fluffy and have very little actual nutritional value. Bagels are baked, not fried, and are much healthier on their own. Also: donut dough is pretty terrible on its own. As this paper asserts, donuts only taste good when they're loaded with sugary toppings, be it glaze, frosting, or filling. Bagels are quite tasty on their own, perhaps with a light butter spread. This child would be wise to think more, before making such bold and careless statements.

[–]coolguy1793 72 points73 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

if you think a plain white bagel is of any nutritional value you are completely delusional - no offence. Both a plain doughnut and bagel are essentially just a simple carb/sugar delivery item.

Small nitpick, but bagels are boiled, not baked. (They are kind of "pre-baked" at low temperature to ferment a bit first though.)

[–]nikkibot 37 points38 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, bagels are boiled and then baked. The pre-bake is called a proof.

I have a dream, that all donuts will one day be sold in a store where they will not be judged by the taste of their glace but by the content of their dough.

[–]itsjustallgone 36 points37 points ago

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for doughnut equality in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great Baker, in whose symbolic creation we indulge today, signed the Edoughnution Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of plain doughnuts who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their neglect.

Plain donuts are my favorite. They have just the right amount of sweetness, a hint of nutty/cinnamon flavor, and are perfect for dipping into coffee.

[–]sanias 59 points60 points ago

Apparently this 12-year-old needs to get a full time job that puts him to sleep every day, which requires massive amounts of coffee to stay awake.

Dip one of these bad boys into a delicious coffee, then try the same thing with a bagel.

Plain are by far the best. $10 says this was written by a fatty who has had their tastebuds assulted and mutated by a constant barage of sugar-coated cuisine. And not real natural sugar, more like high fructose corn syrup coated sugar BS that all the food manufacturers love.

the fact that this young butter chubs has gone through life on a diet of boston cremes and sprinkle coated donuts and that they felt strongly enough to compose a 137 essay on the subject make me feel both sad for him/her and dissapointed in his guardians.

As convincing as a picture of Jerry Seinfeld with the quote underneath it is, do you have any actual proof that he wrote this? I can't find any proof that ANYONE wrote it, so for all we know it could have been a twelve-year-old.

Pretty sure I wrote a short story when I was 12 that was a few pages long that won me some school award thingy. It was called My Sister is a Monster so Don't Make Her Mad. She literally turned into a huge monster half way through the story and destroyed our house. Anyways, I don't think I could do that now, I don't have the imagination for it - but when you're that young your imagination tends to do what it wants. I completely believe that this was written by a 12 year old. A 12 year old with English skills plus the passion to back it up, but this is very plausible.

That's unfair to the plain doughnut. Why should the plain donut, who can't afford to tart himself up like the common slut, be left out simply because he can't afford glaze, or filling, or some special creme. Simply because he doesn't have the money to make himself decent by your standards, he shouldn't be allowed to exist? That's harsh, kid. Harsh. I hope that when the time comes in your selfish world, and someone has to sit down and eat all those suffering, lonely, deserted plain donuts, it's you.

He just needs a teacher who appreciates comedy. I had an English Prof decide to extend the Short Stories part of our semester because she enjoyed mine so much. I think I gave her like 8 overall, and only 1 of them was serious, the rest were pretty comical or satirical in nature.

She liked the one about the student wishing so hard to get a good grade in their short stories class that they wrote an amazing story about about a student wishing to get a good grade in their short stories class. I remember she wrote met(A) with the A circled (for my grade).

(pushes up glasses) actually the method in which plain donuts and bagels are made is quite different. Donuts are deep fried, where as bagels are baked in an oven, but I applaud the child for his Seinfeld-esque comedy.

There would be nothing for diabetics in a donut shop I guess?

Donuts aren't just for kids you know. Some of use have refined palettes and enjoy the plain ones just fine, you know, dunked in coffee.

IMO all these neon pink and orange monstrosities at DD are not real donuts. They are cakes. People are eating fucking cake for breakfast.

Or going to Starbuck's and getting a milkshake for breakfast. "Frozen cappucinos" was the best marketing plan ever:

"Let's give those fat bastards what they really want."
"What's that?"
"A fucking milkshake they can drink in the morning and not get ridiculed for it."
"Goddamnit Malcolm, you're a genius."

This kid needs to learn that bagels are pretty different. Donuts are fried, bagels are boiled and baked.

Looking at this reminds me how my penmanship gradually declined. I can't be sure, but I expect there was a negative correlation between the length of papers I was asked to write and the quality of my penmanship. Fortunately, typed format was predominate by junior high. For those that still required hand-written reports, it got bad.

Heh. Pretty funny. The child should know that if not for the plain ones there wouldn't be any other kind. Plain, glazed doughnuts are the kings of the doughnut world.

Also, "plain" donuts is the real donuts. Everything else are the whores of the donut world.

We're cut from a similar mold you and I. My 12 year old self, had to write a very important paper for my permanent file, that my school kept. What did 12 year old me write about? Mustard. I wrote one of my best papers ever, about mustard.

Well, I appreciate the plain ones because those are the kind you can make for breakfast while camping if you're using a dutch oven.

But to the kid's certainly entitled to his opinions. I'd give it an A, very well described.

As someone who professionally grades standardized grade-school essay tests, I'd like to point out that this is really exceptional writing for a 12 year old. The accuracy of the mechanics, the style, voice, and imagery are all well beyond what the vast majority of writers that age can achieve.

Nice handwriting, too.

Kid's too neat. Spelling's too perfect. I sure as hell wasn't displaying that level of literacy when I was 12. There's just nothing that would indicate a kid wrote it in any way, shape, or form other than the title of the post.

I used to work at a high school and had the pleasure of reading papers like this all the time. It's amazing what kids will come up with for writing assignments. My all time favorite was an essay by one kid entitle "How to Fake a Phony Illness: Five Steps to Staying Home from School."

One problem: they're fucking delicious. Seriously. Try a plain donut from a small bakery/donut shop and dunk it in some coffee.

[–]KoreanBBQPlate 1 point2 points ago

Plain cake donuts are the shit. It's safe to argue that sweets are inherently un-manly, thanks to them having been heavily co-opted by women and children alike. Plain cake is the only donut you can dunk in your black coffee without getting a sickly-sweet, oily film floating on top. This is not to say sweets should be written off all together - sweet is one of the five fundamental tastes, after all. Plain cake simultaneously provides a subtle sweetness and showcases the true quality of the donut itself instead being a hollow medium for gross frosting, glaze, sprinkles and jellies.

tl:dr : Plain Cake - Real Donuts for Real Men.
