Dunkin Donuts

[Lou Lou 1]

There's a DD about 5 mins away from me thats open 24/7

I always get an ice caramel latte with whipped cream and lil bit of sugar, thats the best!!

Sorry there's no DD near you mags! thats not right!

Woa, you have a major sweet tooth! I often wonder whether these flavored drinks should be served with a shot of insulin on the side. An ice caramel latte contains 36g of sugar which is around 9 teaspoons. Unless you're getting a no sugar version of course...

You can always take some ChromPic before going there.

I didn't read this thread until I saw it was getting a lot of traffic and got curious so I popped in. lol

I tried a Dunkin Donuts in Canada once, and they weren't very good. So when I saw the only donut shop within miles of me was a DD, I didn't bother going. Now since I've seen the rave reviews I think I'll give it a try.

I like Starbucks coffee but they're miles away. I always check them out when I see one to see if they have any of their famous carrot cake in stock. mmmmmmmmm

There's a Krispy Kreme in Orlando but that's also miles away. Every time I tried KK's coffee it was always cold so I don't like it. Their original donuts are fabulous fresh off the line.... not so great when they're cold, though.

ha! you need to have a REAL Crispy Cream. Every one knows they are best when they are Fresh!!! your canadian so how would you know anyways!

Not sure why you would say this, babybunny. There are KK's in Canada... and we even leave the igloo sometimes and take the dogsled up north to Wisconsin to try the American version. Or were you referring to something else?

I'm not a big Dunkin Doughnuts fan.... but I grew up with and LOVE Krispy Kreme! I don't buy them in the grocery store on convenience stores, only from the stores where they make them right there on the property and only if the 'hot doughnuts NOW' sign is lit! They are so good, they melt in your mouth! Thank God there isn't one within a short drive from my house or I would weigh 500 lbs.

Also in Orlando, I just found a tiny little gormet doughnut store called Hotties. They have some unique doughnut flavors and are pretty good! For those of you in the Orlando area, they said there is one in Altamonte Springs and the one I went to on Palm Parkway over in Lake Buena Vista. YUMMY!

This is for those who do not know.

If there's excess sugar in your blood, you will become tired. Just as you eat too much carbohydrates, you also become tired. Carbohydrates are pasta, bread, etc...You will feel tired. This is due to the reason that it get digested very fast, and your body cannot produce insulin faster than the rate of digestion of sugars. So, there'll be floating sugar molecules inside you blood stream reducing blood flow hence you get tired. There's an enzyme called pectin that slows down the digestion that will reduce the tiredness affect. It's commonly found within potatoes.

If you're a diabetic, it's a different story.

Do you forbid consumption of donuts in your house too?

Let's all meet at Alt Springs, heh.

Meanwhile, there's a KK in Harrod's of all places. I'm not a big donut person, but upon seeing it, it made me immensely homesick so I just HAD to get one. The line was literally 30 mins long at least (Americans, if you're on a 2 week vacation, why do you need to eat a donut you can get at home damnit?) Anyways, when you get up to the counter, there's a guy sayin 'free donut for a smile' so you smile, and he gives ya a free donut. Then literally a minute later asks for your order.

I was too embarrassed to say 'We only wanted one donut each which you now gave us for free' so we bought two more

And this happened literally like 4 times I went there...free donut. Why not hand the free donuts out to the people at the back of the line? lol

No--though both of us prefer Indian sweets (myself rosogolla/rasmalai, Pras peda and boondi-ladoo).

(the reason for our skipping the TH was simply lack of time on Friday).

A LIKELY story! hrmph

never tried any Indian sweets myself so I have no clue what those taste like

No, we actually did lack time.

As Pras doesn't have a true DL yet (when we finally do that--not sure whether to start new MVA rant, or simply revive the old one), we could only proceed at times when I was fresh--unfortunately, we started out after only 5.5 hours sleep, so I NEEDED 2 half-hour naps in PA and OH which cost us.

(and of course, some minor snarls in Detroit area)

Dunkin Donuts - or as I call it - DRUNKIN Donuts, because everyone that goes there is ADDICTED!

Here in good ole Massachusetts there is a DD everywhere. So much so that you can use them to give directions to people. (Or if you are more hardcore you use package stores - which are actually liquor stores)

Oh I love New England

Oh and everytime I go to Rhode Island I MUST have Newport Creamery. They have a waffle sundae that is to die for!

I hate RI drivers. They drive 55 mph on a 65 mph zone. Sometimes they drive 50 mph here in Massachusetts. They are horrible drivers.
