Getting a cruller instead of a jelly stick this morning was the last straw for Mels:

Every time I go to the Dunkin Donuts at work, something is wrong with my order. ...

Wait! They have crullers again?

You might have some issues that not even Dunk's can help you with, Jason surmises.

Photo of tourist at Boston Common: Marline is smiling, because she's just had a coffee from Dunkin Donuts, a commodity that she can't get in Seminole, Okla.

She was very pleased to be within walking distance of more than a dozen of them.

Christine Bower reports that when she got her free iced coffee at Dunkin' Donuts a couple weeks ago, she was behind two kids, looking about 6 and 9, who were also there for their free coffees:

... The younger boy wasn't able to read the Red Sox posters hanging in the shop, and the older kid struggled to sound out the words. After they got their Free Iced Coffees and left, I was actually a bit dumbfounded. My first instinct was to pity their adults, because the boys would be a handful that evening (this was about 6 pm); my second instinct was that if you allow children that you are responsible for to wander around a major city with no adult supervision, you deserve hyperactive, caffeinated brats.

Miss Von Schtoop acknowledges her Dunkin' addiction, but reports her need for a medium iced coffee with two Equals and a strawberry-frosted donut can only be fed at one particular store in South Boston:

... There are more than TEN (10) Dunkies within striking distance from my house and yet I will travel in my car to go to this one Dunkies in South Boston just for that particular chemical fix.

I AM a Masshole. Harbor water in my veins, a pot of beans for a brain. ...

Jason reminds us that today is Free Iced Coffee Day at your local Dunkin' Donuts, all 63 gazillion of them:

... Usually I don't hit up these free events (free cone day, free burrito day) because it just seems like too much of a hassle to receive a free item of nominal value. I suppose part of the charm is community - waiting with others also seeking free stuff. But the lines usually offset the value, and I can't get myself to wait thirty minutes for a scoop of ice cream.

But this is different. There are Dunkin Donuts everywhere. I can't imagine that all of them will have long lines for the full twelve hours of the promotion. ...

Beantown Bloggery stumbles on a Dunkin' Donuts commercial being filmed downtown.

Jenn Martinelli cringes whenever that Papelbon butt-slap ad comes on:

... I can't even follow the point of the commercial because I'm so distressed by the dumber than dirt look on Papelbon's face. He just looks so stupid. Like he's trying to figure out something really hard, not act in a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Stunt butt!

At least one Mary Kay distributor is now cruising lines at Dunkin' Donuts looking for new business.

Boston Police report they had grounds to arrest a Dorchester couple following an alleged coffee-rage incident at a Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru at 845 Morrissey Blvd. last night:

Officers spoke to the victim who explained that as she neared the drive-thru window the suspect was backing, and feeling that the suspect did not see her, sounded her horn at the suspect. The victim stated that the suspect started and continued to yell at her as she neared the window. The victim purchased her items from the window as she exited the drive through was blocked off by the suspects. The female suspect then pulled her from her car and threw her to the ground and assaulted her.

Officers then interviewed witnesses who confirmed the victim's story and reported that the female suspect attacked the victim by slamming her head on the ground, punching her about the face and the back.

Meanwhile, over in Roxbury, police report a case of role reversal: A food delivery guy for AK's on Tremont allegedly held somebody up last night.

Boston and MBTA police caught up with him back at the restaurant, where he told them it wasn't a real gun he showed and he was only trying to get back some money the guy owed him. Police thanked him for the tip, then in short order delivered him to a nearby police station for booking.
