dpberr Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) How times change. Back in the day, they used to lead with their baked goods. Hell, the whole company started around the sale of doughnuts, not the coffee. https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/25/news/dunkin-donuts-new-name/index.html Edited September 25, 2018 by dpberr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Last time I stopped there the donuts weren't very good anyway. Glad they can now fully focus on their model of offering bad coffee and coffee flavored sugar drinks. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 They aren't deleting doughnuts from their product range. They are simply deleting "doughnuts" from their corporate name. So they will be known as Dunkin' from now on I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of where you dunk a beverage is one of those car bomb shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If you can't make your food look appetizing in a TV commercial, I don't want to eat there. This place is the prime example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about the corporate decision to consolidate the baking facilities. They knew before they made the decision it'd decrease quality and customers would complain but they have a near geographic monopoly on that fast food niche of coffee and doughnuts so they thought customers would get over it. Considering they are one of the few franchises that never seems to take a downturn in building new locations and are recession proof, you'd have to admit they were right.

Soda Popinski Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Good because they haven't focused on their donuts in decades. We drive right by the one 2 minutes from our house to go to a place that actually makes donuts. All they sell at DD is bad coffee and disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
