    As an American I would say the 12 jurors and the dozen donuts would be considered Canadian and American. (Canada also has 12 Jurors and commonly sells donuts by the dozen) But I have done no research in the judicial systems (except Mexico, they have no jury trials ) or common donut sale practices in other countries.

      I had a broader look and it seems like jurors come in 12s in most, if not all, common law jurisdictions. It was 12 in all 6 of the countries I looked into, anyway.

      Doughnuts in my experience come in whatever size package you want. 1, 4, or 6 are common, but 12 probably is too. To me it was easy enough to reason it out because it’s a bread-like product and bread famously comes in dozens.
