It's Friday . . . so if you have your act together, it was DONUT DAY at the office.

 

 

The donut addicts at Thrillist.com have ranked 24 "classic donuts" from best to worst . . . and spoiler alert: If you're a cinnamon bun fan, get ready for a FIGHT. Here's how they ranked them:

 

 

1. Glaze Round . . . The so-called "pinnacle of donuts everywhere."

 

2. Rainbow Sprinkles

 

3. Old Fashioned . . . "Its ridges, apt for catching glaze, make eating this donut feel like a handheld, portable pound cake."

 

4. Raspberry Jelly . . . "A sticky and wonderfully messy gift."

 

5. Apple Fritter . . . "The healthiest donut there is."  

 

6. Donut Holes . . . Because you can eat more, and there are "no rules."

 

7. Chocolate Frosted

 

8. Crumb Cake . . . Which adds a "crunchy, buttery, brown sugar topping to an already exquisite creation."

 

9. Blueberry Cake . . . "It's severely underrated."

 

10. Glaze Twist and Sugar Twist

 

11. Boston Cream . . . "Even though some criticize it for being hole-less."

 

12. French Cruller . . . The snooty, French cousin of the Glaze Round.

 

13. Apple Cider Cake

 

14. Powdered Sugar . . . Despite the white fingerprints that end up everywhere.

 

15. Sugar Round . . . For criminals who don't want their fingerprints everywhere.

 

16. Bear Claw . . . It fell due to its "flat, limp, yeasted-dough shape."

 

17. Maple Glazed

 

18. Buttermilk Bar

 

 19. Strawberry Frosted

 

20. Cinnamon Bun . . . "We'd rather just get a freshly baked cinnamon roll."

 

21. Chocolate Cake

 

22. Lemon Jelly . . . "The 'jelly' in these donuts is mostly gloppy cornstarch mixtures with an artificial lemon flavor in an unnatural shade of yellow."

 

23. Coconut Cake . . . "There's no way around it: Coconut is controversial."

 

24. Plain Cake
