It's Friday, and if that's not enough to make you happy, two major doughnut chains are offering free treats to celebrate National Doughnut Day.

Dunkin' Donuts will be offering customers a free doughnut with any beverage purchase at all locations.

Not to be outdone, Krispy Kreme has announced that all customers will receive a free doughnut, with no purchase necessary.

According to Krispy Kreme's Web site, National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army and to honor women of the Salvation Army who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I.
