Donuts Of The World

24 International Donuts You Need to Try

Japan: An-doughnut
South America: Buñuelos 
  • It's hard to narrow down the popularity of Buñuelos to one South American country, as this diminutive pastry rules the entire continent. They're thinly rolled balls of yeast dough, often soaked in anis, and filled with sweet or savory filling, and present in almost every country in Central and South America. Most importantly, Buñuelos are known as a sign of good luck and fortune. A rule that should apply to all donuts -- international and domestic.

There's Some Good Reasons For It

Why Do Europeans Remove the Badges From Their Luxury Cars?

What I have discovered is that there are two reasons. At the bottom level, Europeans remove the badges because they don’t want people to know that they went for some base-level crapbox instead of a real powertrain. In this sense, Europeans are far more vain than us Americans: they pull off the 316i badge on the desperate hope that someone behind them in traffic believes they bought a 318i instead. 

But it isn’t only the bottom-level people who do it. S-Classes in Europe are de-badged. AMG cars. BMW M3s and M4s. When I worked for Porsche and traveled to Germany, I had this conversation with dozens of my colleagues many times, and they all said the same thing, namely that you pull off the badges on low-end cars and on high-end cars for the exact same reason: you don’t want people to know what you got.

And so, the result is that basically everyone in Europe de-badges their luxury vehicles. If you’re poor, you don’t want people to know you’re poor, and if you’re rich, you don’t want people to know you’re rich.
