Dunkin' Donuts: Last bulwark of freedom

The Optimistic Patriot notices a rack full of bananas at his local Dunkin' Donuts and concludes the fact that nobody's bought any is proof that liberals would rather force us to eat healthy food than protect us from rapists and murderers.

Ed. banana note: I've never spotted bananas at my usual Dunkin' Donuts, but the fact that even if they had them I wouldn't buy them is not because I am in favor of shooting liberals on sight, but because who the hell wants to eat a banana at 8:20 in the morning? We buy plenty of bananas - but at a supermarket, like God intended.

Oh, that's hilarious!

"The same people who aren’t inclined to protect us from hardened criminals have no problem using the power of government to control what you eat."

Really? I'm more concerned about the people who insist that gun regulation is an infringement on individual rights, but have no problem legislating morality, or deciding what I may or may not do with my uterus.

Ah yes, us godless liberals!

Ah yes, us godless liberals! Forcing people to eat healthfully, but letting the Bill Clinton of 1992 into the ranks! What hypocrites!

The liberals (are the owners of Dunkin's liberals? I thought the parent company was European) are just about choice. Someone may choose to purchase the banana, but the donuts haven't been replaced by bananas. You can still have your delicious fatty donuts and the hippie vegan liberals can have their hippie-dippie liberal bananas. Odds are, if the Dunkin put bananas out, customers asked for them since fruit is probably a little more expensive than donuts and goes bad faster.

Ha!

That's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard.

Question re: Ed. banana note

Do you consider all democrats to be liberals and vice versa? Would you shoot all democrats on sight?

So, no, I wouldn't shoot all Democrats on sight.

Ha ha...

Reminds me of an old MAD magazine feature..."snappy answers to stupid questions".

uh oh

Hey guys, I went to the Dunkin Donuts described in the post, bought one of those bananas, unpeeled it, and inside, instead of a banana, was a little straw man.

What does that mean?

Open Mouth, Insert ... Banana?

Insanity

And this is why the country is finally swinging back in the other direction...because the general public is finally understanding that nonsensical and inane arguments like this are the ravings of maniacs. Unbelievable.

let's reset this circle jerk of consensus

Hypothesis: DD is selling bananas and apples as protection against healthy-nutrition based class action lawsuits. Discuss.

Bananas for breakfast

By Ron Newman | Tue, 10/24/2006 - 10:46pm

I thought cutting up bananas to add to breakfast cereal was a common practice.

Yes, but ...

It's kind of hard to slice bananas into your cereal while you're driving down Rte. 9.

Chill

For my money, you should ALL* take a chill pill. What a mountain out of a molehill.

*excludes Adam. Great line about suicide, very... Twainesque?

DD sells cereal?

By cynical | Wed, 10/25/2006 - 12:30pm

Since when does Dunkie's sell cereal? 'Cause if they did, bananas would go great with it.
