Mister Donut is a fast food franchise founded in the United States in 1956. The primary offerings include donuts, coffee, muffins and pastries. After being acquired by Allied Lyons in 1990, most North American locations became Dunkin' Donuts. Today its main market is in Japan, where it has more than 1,300 locations. It also maintains a presence in Taiwan, South Korea, China, Philippines, Thailand and El Salvador.
In the Philippines, Mister Donut is the second largest donut chain. Its toughest competitor is Dunkin Donuts. While most donut outlets in the country are located in storefronts, on the streets or in malls, Mister Donut outlets are mostly stands, sometimes located in high-end shopping malls in Manila. Donuts from Mister Donut are also sold in 7-Eleven stores and KFC restaruants.
Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
