Dunkin' Donuts Jumps on the Healthy Bandwagon


This is annoying. Ever since, McDonalds and Wendy's started selling healthier choices, everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. Now, Dunkin' Donuts, a place known for its coffee and (surprise!) doughnuts, is providing customers with a new line of "healthy" products. This is stupid. Have you seen the people who go to Dunkin' Donuts? Nobody is buying an "egg white turkey sausage flatbread sandwich". They're buying coffee with lots of cream and sugar and glazed, frosted, dipped, and sprinkled doughnuts! Hello! It's called Dunkin' Donuts for a reason. Healthy people don't go to Dunkin' Donuts. It's a place for the working class joe who just wants to pick up a hot coffee and maybe a couple of bear claws. Why do companies do this? They have a good product, and yet they try to change it and add new items nobody wants. I live in New England, where there seems to be a Dunkin' Donuts every other block or so, and I can tell you there are lines out the door of people who just want to buy coffee. Nobody is there buying their cappuccinos or espressos because that's what Starbucks is for. Guaranteed, when they come out with these new sandwiches, nobody will buy these either because if a person wants to eat a healthy breakfast, then they will go to Au Bon Pain or just eat a bowl of cereal at home. This is land of the Munchkin' - not home of the egg white sandwich.(Via USA Today)
