I used to work at the Balfours factory for a time in the late noughties. There are many stories about the practices there and the characters I could recount but on the subject of donuts:
The donut crew would always leave a tray of the days' haul in the staff room to which I'd smash often.
One day I was doing just that when I remarked something to the effect of "love the taste of fresh donuts" and the rest of them sitting on the table erupted into laughter when one of them said to me "that donut you're eating was made in Sydney 6 months ago, frozen and trucked over".
A valuable lesson to learn as a 17 year old
