The iconic neon sign was first introduced in 1992.

“World Kindness Day reminds us that we can all have a positive impact on people’s lives, even through small gestures like sharing a sweet treat,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer of Krispy Kreme, in a statement.

“We hope that every dozen Original Glazed donuts we give away will enable and inspire many dozens of small acts of kindness,” Skena added.

Krispy Kreme is known for its frequent promotions inspired by current events and holidays in an effort to entice customers.

It sold one dozen donuts for 13 cents on Friday the 13th. Most recently, the company gave first responders a free coffee and donut on National First Aid Day.
