Psycho
Donuts Launches Bug-Topped Donuts for National Donut Day and Annual Donut Eating Contest
PsychoDonuts will unveil two new donuts – Chirp Derp and Worm Hole - which feature edible
bugs. The donut recipes will also be featured in the company’s third annual
donut eating competition. A bug-themed art show, highlighting original works by
local artists, will open at the company’s flagship store, coinciding with the
National Donut Day festivities.

| Chirp Derp |
PsychoBugz
will be available immediately before and after National Donut Day – recognized
nationally as the first Friday in June.
Ron Levi, Doctor of Donut Derangement at Psycho Donuts said, “ ‘Donut’
be afraid! While bugs may have a bad rap
in the US, they are enjoyable snacks in other parts of the world, and are very
high in protein. More importantly, crickets
and larvae are exotic elements in our crazy new donut recipes!”
Worm
Hole is a jalapeno tequila-spiked cake donut with salted lime icing, keylime
drizzle, and a Mexican spice larvette near the donut’s center.
Chief
Psycho Jordan Zweigoron said, “We are buzzing with excitement. Psycho Donuts aspires to surprise and awe
customers while taking donuts to unimaginable heights. Chirp Derp and Worm Hole reinforce Psycho
Donuts’ growing reputation as the world’s most unusual donut shop.”
