The story behind the giant Flippo Donut

Flippo The Clown had a TV show in Columbus during the 50s, 60s & 70s. 

Grandpa Krenek would give Flippo The Clown a giant glazed donut on his birthday. Sometimes, the donut would even make an appearance on Flippo’s TV show! 

Our giant donut soon became known as a “Flippo Donut.”


Flippo the Clown, the namesake for our giant donut! He received them for his birthday, and sometimes the donut would make an appearance on his TV show!
