In a recent Instagram poll, the worst attraction of every state was selected. Whilst some of these attractions genuinely terrible, it seems like Voodoo Donuts got harshly judged – at least in my opinion.

If we are to compare Voodoo Donuts to other attractions on the list such as the gum wall, or the center of the Universe in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it really is quite unfair that it made the list. Portland and Oregon in general have a LOT worse things than a nicely presented donut store after all.

The worst thing you can hear about Voodoo Donuts, is that it is overrated. Many Portlanders have other favorite donut shops, but surely this shouldn’t be making an instagram graphic? It’s certainly not a bad place to buy donuts, it’s pretty original and the flavours aren’t too bad at all. I don’t really understand people who would queue in an excessively large line to order from this store, but is it really the WORST attraction?

If you have been living under a rock and don’t know anything about Voodoo Donuts, here is some more information:

Voodoo Doughnuts is a popular doughnut shop chain founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2003 by Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon. They are known for their creative and eccentric doughnut flavors, as well as their distinctive pink boxes and quirky branding.
