They were already shot. Dunkin Donuts now come to the stores frozen.

I remember when I was a kid, my Dad and I would hit the Dunkin’ Donut near his house at 3 a.m. for a sugar rush before going hunting or fishing.
I miss those days.

On the positive side, no one appears to be blaming President Trump for the name change. [So far. /s]

That’s just weird. I can even seeing changing it to DD a la KFC. But just Dunkin’? What does that even mean?

“Are they wanting to deemphasize donuts? “
I hope so-—they are awful.

Every business has a core competency. In most cases, if they pivot too far from that, they die.
DD exists because they sell donuts. Good coffee (and I’m a coffee snob), sure; other food, sure. Move away from donuts as their core purpose, they’ll terminally decline.
IHOP was just pulling a 1-day stunt ... but even that left people confused. You mentioned IHOP, and I had to wonder whether their steak screwup was still happening.

Shades of idiocracy. In a few years it will just be Duh
I don't think it will go quite that far. In a few years it will be called "Duh-nuts" ...

Not a surprise, especially following Starbucks’s announcement to shorten their name to Toilet.

I saw A Dunkin store sign withouts Donuts about a month ago. Mrs. RWA and I were wondering what was up. Must have been part of their testing.

Same with Kentucky Fried Chicken and IHOP
Why? Because some consultant did polling that indicated people thought “donuts” were not healthy?

Domino’s did the same thing, when they removed the “Pizza” from the name.
