Springfield Doughnut, Outdoor sculpture in Springfield, New Zealand.

The pink concrete doughnut sculpture stands 3.5 meters tall and wide, featuring colorful sprinkles and a hole large enough for photo opportunities.

The original doughnut statue, given by 20th Century Fox to promote The Simpsons Movie in 2007, burned down in 2009 before being replaced with this fireproof version.

The sculpture connects the New Zealand town of Springfield with its namesake from The Simpsons series through this monumental representation of Homer's favorite food.

Metal steps behind the sculpture allow visitors to climb up and position their heads through the center hole for memorable photographs.

After the first wooden doughnut burned down, residents temporarily replaced it with a painted tire until the current concrete version was installed in 2012.
