I would have said proximity to the Great White North might explain the variation, but that leaves those hosers in Minnesota and North Dakota as outliers.
 
Interesting that cruller is almost exclusively a New England phrase. I think it's a little more widely applied in Upstate NY than the map shows.

Not to speak too technically, but that is a shit-ton of bourbon.

I would worry it would act as antifreeze for the ice cream and melt it all.

But that is pretty funny.

I have asked for a cruller in Dunkies in the past. They look at you funny. It seems the acceptable vernacular now is "stick".

On edit, I did say "cruller" rather than "crullah" so maybe that was the problem.
 
There used to be a dive of a donut shop on the SE corner of 86th and Lex that had the best French crullers. Sadly, it was torn down to make room for a new building and there are no worthy donuts shops in the hood now.
 
For Bay Area doughnut fans, there are two excellent doughnuts being made in the Temescal district of N. Oakland. Pizzaiolo restaurant is a coffee/doughnut hangout in the morning, home-made doughnuts and excellent coffee, and Doughnut Dolly in the alley behind Pizzaiolo makes English-style yeasted doughnuts with really good jam.

I'll second Doughnut Dolly, although she tends to run out pretty early.

Disgusting.

I was at a meeting the other day and they had Cosi bagels, and I swear the damn thing smelled and tasted like a donut. Really amping up the 'appeal'.

To add insult to injury, their slogan 'Life should be delicious' was plastered all over everything. Apparently they take that concept of deliciousness too seriously in the most base way possible.
