Then after a while all of the ones that I knew about disappeared. I assumed that it was one of those periodic retrenchments that companies make. (I miss the Krispy Kreme donuts. Fortunately, there's still a store near my parents house in Birmingham, so I can get some when I visit them.) We used to have more Dunkin Donuts when I was in college.

After living in MA for 6 years, we joked all the time about the DD on every corner. Several years later, I was on a small turbo prop plane filled with people from Boston going to central Pennsylvania. Part way through the flight they started making their plans for after we landed, starting with a trip to DD. The next 15 minutes or so I tried to convince them that they might not find a single DD in the area, but they did not believe me. It was good natured, and we had fun for the rest of the trip talking about other topics. Dave John,

How sad for you ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwfrBbNo5Jg So, you’ve probably never seen one of their classic old-timey commercials with the “time to make the donuts” guy. How sad for you ;-)

MA is their home-turf. Try finding a starbucks or a crispycream. They started in Quincy, MA (near Boston). MA is their home-turf. Try finding a starbucks or a crispycream.

Take the coffee with milk, but no sugar. It is very important to taste the coffee without sugar, because adding sugar tends to iron out the faults in the coffee such as acidity and so on. (Tasting wine while adding sugar to it is similarly insane.) Do the experiment, fairly and without prejudice. Then tell me what you think about DD's coffee. My challenge to you:

At that time they had a cake like stick called a cruller or kruller or crueller? To die for. Their coffee was good. If you asked for cream and sugar you got one third coffee and one third cream and one third sugar. Dave PS. This is quite an unusal blog entry for John Cook! John,
