The Springfield Doughnut

In 2007, Springfield was gifted a giant bright pink doughnut sculpture by film studio 20th Century Fox to celebrate the release of The Simpsons Movie and acknowledge the sharing of names between the cartoon Springfield (the main town in the TV series) and the real-life Springfield. The six-tonne landmark, a depiction of one of main character Homer Simpson's favourite foods, was damaged by fire in 2009 in a suspected arson attack but was replaced with a new fireproof doughnut in 2012 much to the delight of some locals who feel the pink iced delight puts their town on the map.
