[edit] Frosting
Why is it that the frosting on Dunkin Donuts donuts melts when it stays in contact with anything (like the box the dozen comes in)? Donutz 23:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
That, my friend, is the question of all questions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.165.37.72 (talk • contribs) 07:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC).
The frosting on the donuts at my store seems pretty solid. The only case where we have sticky frosting is if the donuts were just frosted and not given enough time to solidify and cool down. - Stoph 20:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dunkies?
Where is Dunkin Donuts called "Dunkies"? Kafziel 19:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Seems to be some kind of Boston-area slang; most of the pages I found with a google search (which wasn't many) were from that area. Still, this page makes it clear that it's not even a universally-accepted nickname in that area. Why list it as an alternative name right in the first sentence of this article? It doesn't appear to have any more acceptance than "Dunkin" or "DD". Kafziel 19:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm from right around the Boston area, and if anything, people call it Dunk's, but more often than not, it's Dunkin' Donuts. 71.243.15.245 05:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm from Boston, and everyone I know calls it Dunkie's, exclusively. Doesn't make it encyclopedic, though! Doc Sigma (wait, what?) 18:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm from the Boston area as well. I have also heard many people call it Dunkie's. Zomic_13 05:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I work at Dunkin' Donuts, and I can say that most peope who work at the stores are either high schoolers, middlg eaged woman, or Brazilians. 71.243.15.245 05:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] what happened to the plain dunkin donuts with the handle?
what happened to the plain dunkin donuts with the handle?
Haven't been able to find any it seems for a couple years. These are the donuts that presumably you can dunk if your coffee cup is big enough.
Next best thing is a plain kruller I suppose. But I liked the original round one with a handle. Any ideas if they were just discontinued?
- Unfortunately, those were discontinued several years ago. I miss them too. :( —chair lunch dinner™ talk 05:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Those donuts are still available at certain stores, since most stores are franchises, it is up to the individual owner to decide which donuts are sold.
[edit] Café Dunkin’ Donuts
Dunkin Donuts operates a store they call Café Dunkin’ Donuts in Brasil. It should be mentioned. http://www.varejista.com.br/sucesso/case_dunkin/2.jpg
"o Café Dunkin’ Donuts, que oferece sanduíches, saladas, gratinados e massas, além do tradicional cardápio das lojas da rede."
Translation: "Offers sandwhiches, salads, pastas apart from the traditional menu items"

[edit] What?
I just, I don't know what to say: DD cup on eBay -- MyrddinEmrys 07:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Changes in DD
I am not sure what format should be used for adding the following information to the DD article. Certainly, these points are important to accurately document DD as it is today. Suggestions are welcome.
1. In the 1980s, the company moved away from having all donuts cooked on the premises by adding smaller stores that bring in doughnuts and baked goods from a central point. 2. The company website does not include doughnuts among its "Featured Prroducts." 3. The original "dunkin donut' variety featured a bump on the edge of the plain donut which, in one's imagination at least, could act as a handle to dunk the doughnut. With increasing automation of the process, the dunkin handle was abandoned and replaced with the "old fashioned" variety sans handle. 4. Many commercials featuring "Fred the Baker" touted the company's promise of fresh doughnuts every six hours. With the advent of stores without baking facilities, DD discontinued its fresh every six hour requirement.
Lastly, some mention should be made of DD's competing chain in it early years, Mr. Donut shops, which, legend has it, were started by a former partner of the founder, William Rosenberg. CapeCodBob 17:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dunkin'/Baskin Robbins
There are stores in many other areas that have a Baskin Robbins. I think that reference to Chicagoland should be omitted.
[edit] Locations
on the dunkin' donuts website [1], it says that there are approximately 4,800 Dunkin' Donuts locations in 36 states – could we put together a list of exactly which states those are? —lensovet–talk – 01:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- No mention of any of the international shops? Dodge 02:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- I added the European listings that I found on a German website. Two of the Dunkin' Donuts I visited in Berlin were also Internet Cafe's. Mdaigle 09:40, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Advertising Campaign
Hey guys! I created a Fritalian article after seeing Dunkin's new advertising campaign. Should we leave that article as a stand alone article or add it to the Dunkin Donuts page?
Thanks! Yeyewa 04:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coolattas
I am not the best wikier so I will let someone else edit this in. I attempted to make a page about Coolattas. I should be linked to this page and possably put under products. I will try to add more to it later. Sgcxf949 03:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
