John Daley is willing to put up with Rachael Ray and personal-pan pizzas at Dunkin' Donuts (or, at least, has yet to post about them). But he takes a stand on scratch-ticket sales at Dunkin' Donuts: No:
... I, for one, don't want to have to wait in line to get my morning fix while some guy ahead of me scratches away his paycheck.
No word if they were arguing about whether Rachael Ray sucks or not, but an employee at the Dunkin' Donuts at 401 Watertown St. in Newton now faces charges for allegedly throwing a cup of hot coffee at another worker during an argument on Dec. 8, the Tab reports. The specific charge:
Assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (cup of coffee).
Eicats snarls:
My hatred of Rachael Ray just grows and grows. Each time I hear her say "Delish" on a Dunkin Donuts ad, it makes me hate her more.
To help you forget her, if only for a moment, here's a classic Fred commercial:
Rachael Ray Dunkin' Donuts Christmas commercials, anytime! "I always have like a million pounds on hand!" Gah!
Oh, Amy, why'd you have to ruin our day by breaking this story? But props for maintaining that church/state wall, what with that giant Dunkin' Donuts ad right next to your post.
Earlier:
Yeah, right, Rach, like you always have like a million pounds of Dunk's coffee on hand.
Steve Reeves compares the two. His basic conclusion seems to be: Don't get your breakfast sandwiches at Dunk's or your coffee at Brugger's.
Dunkin' Donuts has a new promo: Buy a box of Munchkins, get a glowstick. Sara asks why bother?
... Wow! One whole glowstick! Like seriously, what's the point? Did Dunkin Donuts do their research on this? I'm nearly 100% sure that a glowstick would never be a motivating factor in buying a box of Munchkins. Yes, I understand that glowsticks=Halloween, but this is just stupid and a waste of money.
Paul Levy wants to know:
... And is the answer different for Boston, home to Dunkin' Donuts? ...
Steve Garfield objects to Dunkin' Donuts calling itself "Official Coffee and Breakfast Sandwich of New England Patriots Fans:"
... Sure, Dunkin Donuts can sign a contract with the New England Patriots to be the Official Coffee of the New England Patriots, but I never agreed to allow Dunkin Donuts to be the Official Coffee of Patriot Fan Steve Garfield.
Block by Block is there (although he doesn't identify the exact location) as a uniformed Boston police officer starts yelling at Dunkin's workers because he thinks he's getting a breakfast sandwich with bacon - said sandwich actually meant for Block by Block:
Michael Pahre declares it the new Dunkin' Donuts in Oak Square:
... I'm praying for a windstorm. Or that the owners get a conscience.
Dunkin' Donuts can tart itself up all it wants, but to some of us, THIS (and, of course, the immortal Fred), will always be what Dunk's is really about:
Ed. ugly kid note: What in God's name possessed me to look for this? When I saw Amy's note about the kid in the Verizon commercials, I thought, "that's not ugly, I'll show you ugly!"
Sure, laugh all you want about brown-tinged swill or 17 sugahs or trans fats or that smirking Joker lookalike known as Rachael Ray, at least I never have to worry about being sneered at by some barista with an overendowed sense of importance who so cows me that I vow to get what he wants me to next time, that is, if I can ever summon up the courage to step foot in his store again.
... "Here's your ICED venti americano," he says, with a look of revulsion. ...
Among other things, don't make the proximity of a Dunkin' Donuts a selling point:
... In the Boston area, that's no more remarkable than saying that you've got indoor plumbing.
Boston Police report the sweet-toothed bandit struck again - robbing the Dunkin' Donuts at 471 Brookline Ave. in the Longwood medical area shortly before 4 p.m. on Saturday:
Tim Jarrett learns that trying to fly out of Logan the week school lets out sucks because of all those leisure travelers. But he reports on an even bigger problem:
... [T]hey have moved the Starbucks out of the United side of Terminal C. And put a Dunkin' Donuts in its place. Now, I'm as Bostonian as the next transplant from Virginia, but if I wanted to drink dishwater flavored with corn syrup and soy powder, I'd order that. Instead, when I order coffee, I want it black and strong. I guess I'll have to wait until I land in Chicago.
Oh for the love of Fred! As if the EVOO Lady weren't enough, now we learn that Dunkin' Donuts has hired Zach Braff to direct an ad with Naomi Campbell. Hmm, then again, it could be brilliant: She throws a lahge regula at his head and then he spends the rest of the commercial alternating between screaming in pain and whining about how he's lost her for good.
No, that would still be annoying.
