The Existential Crisis of Doughnuts: A Philosophical Inquiry into the Hole-y Depths of Fried Dough

Muffin, P. Custard, E. Sprinkle, J. Glaze, K. Powdered, B.

This paper delves deep into the existential crisis that plagues the world of doughnuts. Through a careful analysis of the hole at the center of every doughnut, we explore the doughnut's search for meaning and purpose in a world where it is often viewed as nothing more than a sugary treat. Using the philosophy of Heidegger and Sartre, we argue that the doughnut's hole represents a void in its very being, and that the only way for the doughnut to find fulfillment is to embrace this hole and accept itself as incomplete. Along the way, we also investigate the doughnut's relationship with coffee and attempt to answer the eternal question: are doughnuts really better than bagels? Our conclusion may surprise you, but we assure you that our research is no laughing matter.
