Best doughnuts i ever had from a doughnut shop were made with potato dough. That place was in Pittsburgh in the 1980's and the owner of Spudnuts has long since closed up shop and retired, to the best of my knowledge. Krispy Kreme is available in western PA now.
Mmm, yeah we had a spudnuts in cville that closed down a decade ago or so. Then there was a food truck that specialized in apple donuts, Carpe Donut. 😋
They will still be allowed o use Dunkin since it is registered, but the stupid law thinks people are stupid so they need to put a French descriptor alongside the name, like Beignes or Cafe. It is easy to get a business to fail in Quebec - just call the OQFL tip line to complain about hearing a fly buzz in English and the Language Police show up.
Dunkin’ Donuts have sucked ever since they fired the “time to make the donuts” guy. They suck so bad that the company rebranded as just “Dunkin” and now emphasizes their coffee in their advertisements.
So I’m guessing Vegas has some sort of safeguards in place to keep Canadians from cashing in their Canadian dollars “at par” and then IMMEDIATELY cashing in the purchased chips for US dollars, copping a cool 27% profit without risking a nickel? ( Canadian dollar is currently worth 73 cents US)
Ta, Andrew. The only doughnuts I eat are from the fantastic vegan shop, Dun Well. They have great flavors and serve real and really good coffee. I can remember a time when Dunkin Donuts served decent coffee. Those days are long gone; their coffee is worse than Starbucks. If there's no other food anywhere around, I'll have a toasted whole grain bagel and hash browns. Their avocado toast is way below par.
Somewhere between 10 and 20 years ago Dunkin changed their coffee, stop making doughnuts in house, and stopped making the doughnut that shared their name. This is why I'm a Tim Horton man these days.
The Lonely Island are amazing, indeed. Especially their songs I Threw It On The Ground and I'm On A Boat. Though I will always be a fan of the mumble rapper Shy Ronnie.
They may get away under the French Language law in Quebec with the Dunkin name. But they are likely to stumble on the product description. When I was visiting with college student friends in Montreal back in the 70's they called the pastry a Beignet Américaine.
So tangentially related, McDonalds did a "using Canadian beef" campaign when the US was trying to keep our exports restricted under Mad Cow ... that seems to have paid dividends during the current quiet boycot.
Compared to a fresh out the fryer Kristy Kreme, Dunkin is a frozen bagel.

It's shit coffee and shit donuts. I will never understand the popularity of this really inferior product.
As U.S. Commerce has proven time and time again: "To Succeed in Business, Keep Thrusting!"
If Canadians ARE boycotting delicious donuts, Dunkin has nothing to worry about.

Based loosely on Duncan in Macbeth : "Is that a fried ring of dough I see before me?"
JFC it's KFC!

Ironically, that's what Timmies has done, too. I get my coffee at McDonald's on the few occasions I'm not making it at home.
I was *amazed* to see the number of paragraphs in this article that managed to go by without mentioning Tim Horton's.
Three. It was three. I would've bet hard on it being zero.
My son credits The Lonely Island and the Tim's at KAF with getting him through his first deployment to the desert.

Should name them Duncan Hoser Holes.
