Personally I like Double D(s) :)
Working for a small company for a couple of years is a much better education than any MBA. College is school, not real life.
My Great Grandfather ran a cotton gin and a general store with an 8th grade education. He was very successful and well respected in his town. Was able to send 10 of his 11 kids on to higher education.
For accuracy’s sake - Instead of “Donuts”, they will be
“Dunkin’ Doughy Lardballs”.
I actually do want to write a book entitled “How MBA’s Are Destroying the World”.

That would be a good read. Not a one of them has had to face a customer and explain why everything is screwed up. And here is a bit of knowledge I learned along the way even though I am an uneducated white deplorable, when a customer gets mad they buy from someone else. Weird, right?
This is what happens when corporate management “thinks” too much. They probably thought the name restricted them from getting into other ventures just like IHOP management wanted to get into burgers.
“Why?”
Because none of the other suggestions played well with the focus groups...
Dunkin’ Kale
Dunkin’ Arugula
Dunkin’ Flax Seed
Dunkin’ Hemp
Dunkin’ Quinoa
Dunkin’ Chia
Dunkin’ Aioli
Dunkin’ Sweetbreads
Dunkin’ Headcheese
And once one or two did that, it’s like the lemmings over the cliff and - voila - most of our industrial base has gone to China, Vietnam, etc.
Sigh
That is VERY clever.:-)

You’re dumb as a doughnut if you do that, Dunkin’.
Vale passed away in New York City on December 24, 2005 from complications with diabetes. He was 83 years old.
Oh, God.
Remember the expression: “Dollars to Donuts”? It meant something of value for something vary cheap.
Dunkin was the first to go over a dollar for a cup of coffee, (aside from poffy stores,) and a single donut is now about $1.40.
Used to get a dozen donuts in a cardboard box, now they present them like Tiffany’s jewels.
Don’t forget
Dunkin’ Tofu
The Zen philosopher Basho once said, a flute with no holes is not a flute, and a donut with no hole is a danish.
I still don't know if I get it' !
Sad. Dunkin’ Donuts was my first real job in 1966 in Binghamton, NY.
