#23: Those Must Have Been Good Doughnuts
Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, was known for his musical talents and charismatic stage presence, but unlike modern-day celebrities, he was incredibly selective when it came to endorsements. In fact, he only endorsed one product throughout his entire career, and it was not a flashy car or a trendy clothing brand; it was a humble donut shop.
Elvis had a deep affection for the donuts from Southern Maid Donuts, a small donut shop in Shreveport, Louisiana. He enjoyed their delectable dough so much that he agreed to film a brief commercial for the establishment in 1954. This endorsement may not have been as glamorous as those of other celebrities, but it reflects Elvis’s genuine appreciation for simple pleasures, endearing him even more to his fans.
