What's with that time-old tradition of dunking one's donut into their coffee?

It's the image most people probably think of when they think of coffee and a donut, but does anyone actually do this??


Please help me answer this burning, life-altering question!

I saw Joe DiMaggio in Dinky Donuts, and he was dunking.

I'd bring out a funny here, but only the english or those who'd seen Peter Kay's dvd would get it

i don't dunk cookies or doughnuts.. i hate floaties in my beverages.

I don't drink coffee, so no. I usually get hot chocolate when I get donuts, but even then I don't dunk them.

I've never dunked a donut, but I can't imagine them tasting good in coffee.

Am I missing some magic combination here? Should I make a stop on the way home?

If I had a plain doughnut, yes, I'd dunk. But I like my doughnuts by themselves because I usually get french crullers, and those are too delicate to dunk!

Ew.
I don't dunk anything but a ball in a hoop. I also don't like little crumbs of whatever in my coffee or tea or milk. Note that I also don't drink coffee or tea.

I think people started dunking the plain old fashion donut in their tea/coffee and it took off from there.

No idea man, I've never done it either. This is why I'd like to know why it's the common image of coffee+donut.

OMG do I ever love cookies and milk though!! Chocolate chip or Oreos in a stout glass of milk, ohmyfuckyum!!!

Assholes go to krispy kreme. Go to a bakery and buy yourself a real doughnut, or better yet, the "Doughnut Plant" in NYC.
