Dunkin Donuts

[Saddle Bronc 124]

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.

Would you prefer Atlanta drivers then?

I've actually been TAILGATED a little south of the I-75/I-85 merge (the one south of "downtown", not the Brookwood) when I was doing 70 mph (in a 55 zone).

(at the time, in 1995, I was driving on my Alberta licence, having escaped a speeding ticket in August 1994).

I prefer neither. Personally, I would prefer if they just follow the speed limit. Civil Engineers knows why the speed limit are posted. All we know is to get to the destination faster.

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

That happened to me aswell. I couldn't disappoint them and not have another donut now, could I? I mean, it WAS an effort to eat that additional donut, but I didn't want to let anyone down. *coughs*

i have to throw in my vote for Krispy Kreme... i grew up with them... and wasnt too far from one of the stores that made them fresh all the time... no doughnut better than a fresh hot one from KK... slides right down... have to be careful, cuz you could eat a whole box at once... then youd be sorry for it, lol... i like the plain glazed and the chocolate tops... never liked creme or jelly filled ones

there are tons of DD around here... 3 within 3 miles... if i get anything from DD, i get the munchkins, but only if they have the regular glazed... i dont really care for cake-like doughnuts... if i want cake, i get cake, you know?

i always liked that kids could sell boxed dozens of KKs for fundraisers... back then it was $2 each box... *sigh guess i am getting old... i sound like my mom "back then...."

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...

Hehehe, I hardly have any sugar, I don't eat sweets or anything, this is like my sugar fix, a nice treat

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!

Love Newport Creamery

You're such a giving and sensitive woman...not wanting to disappoint anyone!

KK's aare so damn good tho...one time I was down in London on a shopping spree...grabbed D like 4 donuts, put them in my shopping tote & forgot about them til I was back up Norf

I had no clue they could get so flat!

My ranking of doughnuts (top-bottom):

1. Country-Style (available Canada-only)
   
2. Tim Horton's (Canada plus MI and OH)
   
3. Robin's (seen in Calgary, verified started in Thunder Bay--so it is found outside AB, www.robinswest.ca)
   
4. DD/KK

saskatoon still has Robins, not many though, as most have closed. If I'm too lazy to go the extra distance to Tims, will goto Robins!!

In a months time may be up in Newport RI, get my Tims and Newport Creamery!!

Newport Creamy! yum!

I've cut down today at Dunkin Donuts, just got a regular ice coffee with a caramel shot and a lil bit of cream

Was aggrivating when I went to DD the other day, we had a really bad thunder storm, but I wanted to get a coffee anyway before work, but when I was running back to the car, absolutely pouring down!! and the lady at DD didn't put the lid on my coffee properly and it went all down my white top, over my work clothes! argh! and she also put my donut chocolate side down in the bag, so when I pulled it out, 90% of the chocolate was on the bottom on the bag, jeeez, you know?!

I had a Boston Creme D'nut at Dunkin Dounuts yesterday that was just like the "good old days" at Tim Hortons. Now a days Timmy's just serves up pre-frozen, reheated ####### (in our Province anyways). I have to say that this particular D'nut was yummers indeed. Nice one Dunkin Dounuts!

The funny thing about those cooked,frozen/reheated donuts was that Tims had been doing it for awhile before anyone said anything. Then when they made the announcement, people started to complain,lol Was never a fan of their pastries to begin with.

I dunno.. I guess my first inclination they had changed the baking process was when the icing REFUSED to stay in place.. Something wasn't right in my universe after that.. Sad really.. their Donuts USED to be yummers..

Krispy Kreme! Hubby even has a photo of a KK shop, and he returned to England telling everyone about the donuts he had!

My wife has been craving a Tim's Iced Cap since we crossed the border, so we're taking a trip Memorial Day weekend to upstate NY so she can get one.
