Dunkin Donuts

copied from a news service..

Dunkin' Brands Group Inc., operator of the Dunkin' Donuts coffee chain, on Wednesday filed to raise as much as $400 million in an initial public offering to pay down debt. Dunkin' didn't disclose the pricing per share or an offering date. The stock will be listed on the Nasdaq as DNKN.

We must not be buying enough donuts folks.......

Their donuts were good when they did the initial revamp, but since then they've gotten quite awful.  The last box I bought made better door-stoppers than food.  I will probably never go back there again.  $10 for a box of door-stoppers isn't what I call a good deal.

Is it true they're going to get some former politicians to advertise their product as "The healthiest thing since Camel cigarettes!"?










Uh, maybe that was just a rumor???






Wish they were still allowed on my diet but....

Actually there was a study saying donuts considerably lower stress and increase longevity.

Or maybe it was taking afternoon naps. I can never remember with all these studies.

Good thing I got both of those bases covered

From 2007  University of Virginia obesity expert Glenn Gaesser recently said that a diet made up of starch and sugar can actually benefit a person's health in the long run.

"I found, totally contrary to current nutritional thinking, carbohydrates are not fattening," the professor said.


I like this guy....

I really appreciate the donuts thing.

I am a moderator in several other environments. When I got here I was really pleased to see that there was a simple way for someone new to announce to the community -

"I've read the rules, and I have chosen to join the community and hereby demonstrate willingness to comply with the rules" - with a smile.

How nice that someone could do that by simply adding a few   to a first post.

But I've got to tell you guys, I wish it was something other than donuts. I am far too suggestible and in this respect, this place is toxic for me.  There is a  donut shop 5 minutes away.  That's just far enough away on a decidely pedestrian-hostile major thoroughfare that no one would walk to get there. But it is just too easy to  get in the car, spew hydrocarbons -- 5 minutes there, 5 minutes in the drive-through, 5 minutes back (typically, spewing ersatz fruit filling all over myself in the process).  Oh I suppose I could turn off the engine while waiting at the drive-through but somehow that just seems out of character with the exercise (or lack of it)

Or just give in and grow with it.

In my youth I wanted a Porsche, today I m content with a great cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.

I like their coffee but I have admit I have not had one of their donuts in well over 10 years.  As a matter of fact I have not had any donuts in over 7 years.  I hope that does not mean I have to leave this forum!

Slice 'em thin and use 'em for guitar picks. Problem solved. ;)

I thought they were good when they were $3 a dozen.

I've noticed I can buy a box of the same Dunkin Donuts at Kroger for 1/2 the price that they cost right accross the street at the Dunkin Donuts franchise.
