okay, Dunkin' Donuts, you win
Jan. 19th, 2008 03:08 pmCongratulations, you have finally convinced me that you are not as awesome as I have believed you were since high school.
First, the Rachel Ray thing, but I was going to forgive you that, because even I can recognize a marketing juggernaut, and its not like she's actually in the stores.
Go ahead and roll over and play dead on the doughnut front. I know that Krispy Kreme is daunting; it's okay. Good job on continuing to embrace munchkins, bagels, sandwiches, and questionably executed muffin recipes. Keep your foot in the door.
But seriously, the burnt coffee has got to stop. I don't know if it's a result of the whole Baskin Robbins - Dunkin' Donuts joint location thing, because perhaps that's just too many balls for minimum wage workers to keep in the air, but its coffee. That was your thing! I was willing to overlook the styrofoam cups in the name of sweet caffeine, but every single location I've been to outside of Fairfield County, Connecticut serves coffee that is absolutely undrinkable, well beyond the point of salvation by cream and sugar.
I'll miss you, Dunkin' Donuts, but it's for your own good. I hope you clean up your act and we can be friends again someday.
