Krispy Kreme is giving away free doughnuts to Brits as lockdown restrictions ease across the UK.
To celebrate the easing of lockdown and friends and loved ones getting back together, the doughnut chain is accepting a connection as currency in a world first.
Starting from Monday 10th May and running for a week, Krispy Kreme will spread miles of smiles across the nation and give away up to 1 million doughnuts.
In order to bag a free Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut all you have to do is come into a Krispy Kreme store and simply safely share how you have connected with someone that has made you smile and features #SmilesAsCurrency.
This can be anything from a social media post, a photo, a message, a joke, or a post-it note.
Connections, whether virtually or in-person, are so important to everyone, so Krispy Kreme wants to celebrate this through this unique initiative and encouraging the nation to smile as they are able to connect again with friends and loved ones again as lockdown lifts.
Recent research from Krispy Kreme has underlined the yearning for connection that Brits have as lockdown lifts, with over half (53%) of Brits saying the thing that they have most looked forward to doing, is seeing friends and family in real life and 48% say it is hugging friends, family and loved ones.
Nadine Singler, Krispy Kreme UK and Ireland’s Head of Marketing & Sustainability said, “We are known the world over for our Original Glazed doughnut and we love seeing people smile and connect whilst they enjoy their doughnuts.
“So, we want to celebrate all of those little things that make you smile by giving away up to 1 million doughnuts in a week to those that connect and smile from cheek to cheek!
“Come on Britain get connecting”.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
