You can get a free doughnut at Krispy Kreme on Mardi Gras: Here's how
If you aren't a fan of king cake, Krispy Kreme is offering customers another sweet way to celebrate Fat Tuesday this year.
The doughnut chain is offering customers who wear Mardi Gras beads to a Krispy Kreme shop on Tuesday, March 4 a free original glazed doughnut, limit one per guest.
The offer is available in-shop or in the drive-thru and no purchase is necessary, according to the company.
Fat Tuesday is a day of indulgence that marks the end of Carnival. It's immediately followed by Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Lent is a 40-day season of fasting, excluding Sundays, that is observed by Christians which leads up to Easter Sunday.
