![151209_EM_KrispyKreme](https://img.money.com/2015/12/151209_em_krispykreme.jpg)

This Saturday is December 12, or 12/12 if you will. It's what [Krispy Kreme](http://krispykreme.com/DayOfTheDozens) calls the "Day of the Dozens."

And what happens on this wonderfully made-up holiday? Well, it's a day when Krispy Kreme customers can get a dozen free donuts—provided they're buying a dozen at the same time.

Krispy Kreme has run [similar promotions](https://time.com/3837962/krispy-kreme-free-donuts-national-super-hero-day/) in the past, but what makes this dozen-donut giveaway special is that it's available via the "World's Tastiest Coupon." Somehow Krispy Kreme created a video of a donut glazing machine in which the streams of glaze double as a [coupon barcode](http://krispykreme.com/DayOfTheDozens). Customers can print the barcode or show the image on a device at any participating Krispy Kreme on Saturday for the buy-one, get-one-free deal.

While the promotion stipulates that the deal involves only original glazed donuts, Krispy Kreme clarified on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/KrispyKreme/) that customers can get their choice of assorted donut flavors as well. Below is the video/barcode of donuts being glazed. Warning! It may simultaneously make you go into a deep state of hypnosis and salivate profusely.
