The Donut Reform Act of 1923

Established by President Donutius Maximus in 1923, this act aimed to standardize the shape and size of donuts nationwide. Prior to this, donut varieties were as varied as the whims of their crafty bakers.

Key Provisions

• Donuts shall be circular in shape, with a minimum diameter of 4 inches and maximum diameter of 8 inches.
• Glaze, sprinkles, and other toppings shall be subject to strict guidelines to prevent excessive sugar consumption.
• Donut shops shall be subject to regular inspections to ensure compliance with the Act.

Notable Revisions

• 1928: The Act was amended to include a provision for 'Donut Fridays' in all government offices.
• 1932: The Act was further revised to include a 'Donut-of-the-month' program to promote innovation in donut design.
