Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, America!

In honor of this quirky holiday, Krispy Kreme is giving out one free original glazed doughnut to all patrons who head to the shops and talk like a pirate. Arrr!

Are you willing to dress up in full pirate gear? We won't judge you. Sport three pirate items (pirate hat, bandana, eye patch, costume hook, pirate shirt, peg-leg-parrot and pirate knickers are all acceptable options) and receive a dozen original glazed doughnuts completely gratis when visiting a Krispy Kreme. 

This year, for the first time ever, the chain rides the online wave by allowing gluttonous sweets lovers to "dress" like a pirate on Snapchat, via Krispy Kreme's very own pirate filter. Snap a picture, post it on the app and show it to "a team member inside the shop" and you'll qualify to receive a dozen free original glazed treats.

And, because some of us want to celebrate but don't really feel like donning our best pirate outfit or accent, the chain will sell two specially frosted treats throughout the day: the Pirate Doughnut, featuring an eye-patched face, and the Skull and Crossbones Doughnut, topped with chocolate and white icing and a skull candy piece.

It's time to grab the eye patch you were saving for Halloween and channel your inner Hook.
