gonna have to hard agree here. I think it gets by on its very good and recognizable name and colors. the food can barely be considered food and you can get much better donuts at a local Viet mom and pop store or even grocery stores. their coffee is very shit and processed tasting. i had to open this thread up on my computer just to comment how bad this place is. they're basically purveyors of cancer

Do you like sweeteners like stevia, sucralose, or aspartame? Because those all taste synthetic and gross to me (yes, stevia is natural but it still tastes like shit). That's what their coffee tastes like to me.

i haven't drank their coffee in years but about 5 years or so ago i remember getting free samples of it in the mail and it was like liquid crack it was so good, however i realized that it was a scam. at that time, the coffee they sold in their stores was this liquid crack, HQ coffee,

however the version you can buy in grocery stores, just like all others (starbucks, mcdonald's, etc.) sell mainly mediocre robusta ghetto beans. i remember buying dunkin coffee from walmart and it tasted like literal rotten garbage like folgers or maxwell house. even green mountain uses robusta beans now. fuck them all

Doctors are ass. They make you wait forever, never diagnose your problem, and punt the ball by referring you to a specialist. The specialist takes forever to schedule an appointment, makes you wait forever, then either punts the ball to another specialist or tries to prescribe you some drug that they get a kickback for recommending that probably won't fix your problem because they couldn't accurately diagnose it either. Or they immediately want to jump to surgery but when you asked around you found out that specialist has a reputation for recommending surgery for everything and sometimes killing their patients.

I'm not sure how far the franchise has spread, but in New England they will literally NEVER go out of business. I agree the food and coffee sucks, but they are ubiquitous and there is always a massive line in the store and the drivethru, with two stores 3 blocks away from each other. Dunkin stock is the single safest investment you could ever make. Forget grade a treasury bonds or real estate or index funds or btc. Tim hortons is much better but dunkin will never die. Anecdotally, i went on a business trip to Chicago with my boss once. We got back to New England at 10 at night, and the first thing he did when he got off the plane was to say how much he missed dunkin donuts and then proceeded to buy dunkin donuts coffee in the terminal.

I agree Dunkin is shitty. I have one literally a block from me so I go there sometimes for the convenience, but I wish every time I go that it was a Starbucks. The coffee is very mediocre and in their iced drinks they insist on giving you 75% ice. The fancy drinks cost as much as a Starbucks but are half as good at best.

Listen here you little fuck head, Dunkin is the BEST thing to ever happen to this god-forsaken excuse of a mongrel empire.

I've been to over 30 Dunkin locations across 5 different states in my Life, and every time I sip from from a sweet XL Dunkin coffee with Hazelnut swirl and chow down on a sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich with hashbrown, it's like being transported to a time when the American dream was real, and HOPE wasn't just a 4-letter word.

Dad's 50 minutes late to pick you up from Sunday school (again)? Whatever dad, we're going to Dunkin for FIFTY delicious Munchkins and an iced coffee Coolata, and I'm eating at least HALF of them myself. We didn't have much Mexican or nigger immigrants in rural Pennsylvania in the 90's, and this shit was as exotic for the time as Aliens beaming down and telling you they cloned 10 Margot Robbies to be your own personal sex slaves and housewifes.

You got caught banging your tight 17-year-old dancer gf in your car at the mall in her clingy silk dress, then were embarrassed AF when you were the last two to show up to Christmas Eve mass at the Cathedral, and have to do the walk of shame to your family's pew as 500 devout judging Catholics give you the death glare of Christ? No worries, we'll go to Dunkin with your friends after for some Coffee coolatas and sausage egg and cheese croissants and laugh about it all.

You've been dead broke for 10 years, your homeless for the second time in as many years, but MAGA daddy TRUMP just cut you a check for $8k, so you and your 50-year-old Florida man boomer roommate are out on the deck smoking cigs and shooting the shit under that sweet Pennsylvania summer morning shade? FUCK yeah, only thing that could make this sweet moment of blissful redemption any better is an XL coffee with Hazelnut swirl and a sausage egg and cheese bagel with hashbrown from DUNKIN. Don't worry, Shaggy, this XL coffee with Vanilla swirl is on me, bud.

So, in conclusion, don't you EVER

He is absolutely correct about Starbucks' brick and mortar. The branding and ambiance is on point. It's a real cafe. Starbucks gets shit on for alot of things, rightfully so, but they at least provide a decent place to sit down in. Whenever I'm traveling and need a rest I always look for a Starbucks first.

Dunkin on the other hand are just shitty places to sit down in and the employees look miserable.
