Dunkin' Donuts trying to get healthy

*Link*

At least they're trying I guess... But in the end I don't think anyone will buy this stuff, especially if it is more expensive (which most nutritional stuff at fast food places are).

Bwahahahaha! Yup, donut shops are where I go to eat healthy.

I ate one of those Krispy Kreme whole wheat donuts.... tasted just like the regular ones and it's better for you.

Jugs

i don't think there's even any dunkin donuts left in oregon. we used to have quite a few in the portland area and three in salem. they're all gone now.

it doesn't matter what you're selling, if nobody can buy it. maybe they should try keeping some locations in business first.

I eat at Dunkin' and I'm no fatty. I usually have two plain cake donuts and a cup of coffee.

Only thing this means is slower lines. More products with cooking time means slower, longer lines. Slow service = death for morning business. Bad business decision IMO. Just give me my coffee and donuts and make it quick.

It should just mean that the people ordering those foods will have to wait. They'll probably serve people wanting just coffee quickly (or should).

cup of black coffee w/ artificial sweetener is healthy enough, and I don't have to feel like a douche ordering it

not at the morning drive thru line. The line will be packed more than it is.

Very true... I didn't really think about that.

lol at the first comment

Once again we have someone perpetuating the myth that fat makes you fat. Losing weight has nothing to do with fat and calories, and everything to do with HORMONES. Fat is good for you and is needed by the body. Fat will not make you fat...And we shouldn?t have to worry about calories, either.

I dunno if I'd say artificial sweeteners are "healthy" but they don't have calories which is a bonus.

you know what pisses me off? i was there waiting to get my coffee the other day, and this is the conversation behind me between two women and the dunkin donut guy

woman 1: "can i have a medium ice coffee, extra milk, 5 sugars please?" (me thinking now: why not just call it a medium super sweet lightly coffee-flavored sugar water?)
dd guy: "ok" (goes make coffee)
woman 1: "oh wow, look at that. 80 calories. is that for EACH munchkin?"
woman 2: "yea i think so. wow that's a lot for such a little piece of munchkin"
woman 1: "yea im never buying those again"
woman 2: "excuse me, is that 80 calorie label for one munchkin?"
dd guy: "yea"
woman 1 and 2: "wow"

im sorry, you dont order a coffee with extra milk and 5 sugar and then complain about calories on a munchkin, that drink she had probably had like 400 calorie itself.
(this was in nyc, where the city mandated all franchise food chains to label all their food with the amount of calories)
