First world problems...
Dunkin’ Donuts rebranded and sold for $65 a dozen. Ain’t capitalism great?

“Although no one has come forward with reports of allergy attacks or illness, it is disturbing to think about what could have happened, ...”
Well, yes, there could be some people with allergies that serious. And fraud is fraud, of course.
But the fact that no one complained even though they were likely habitual customers tells us that it is probable that most people who claim they have severe allergies really don’t, and it is mostly in their head.

maybe we will get lucky and our very own narrative control cubicle will have their scumbag throats clamp shut and send them back home to hell.

Seriously. Almost as bad as misgendering or deadnaming./sarc
How true.
Right outa Seinfeld’s lo-fat frozen yogurt episode.
They don’t make donuts at Dunkin Donuts. Our grocery store has a bakery and sells real donuts. So does Krispy Kreme. Long ago, Dunkin made donuts. You could see the machine while sitting at the counter. They also had fresh ground coffee. Dunkin Donuts is a $hitty fake like everything else post-boomers love so much.
Dunkin' Donuts bring me a sense of joy and comfort.
A new Dunkin Donuts opened in our town. I went to check it out and the first thing I noticed when I entered was the lack of doughnut smell. That’s when I knew they weren’t making them there.
I am fairly certain most of these people’s health problems are really just Munchausen syndrome.
Having said that, no one actually cares about this nothingburger except the usual jackasses who are continually outraged about everything
Near my favorite vintage shop, there’s a gluten-free bakery I try to patron. The owner has celiac and can’t eat gluten, and she makes everything in-house; sells to some local coffee shops, too. She also carries some vegan and dairy-free options. My dad has developed gluten sensitivities over time, so I bring stuff home for his sweet tooth.
Her cheesecake is phenomenal. It’s hard to tell that it’s gluten free, and her cupcakes are awesome. Cookies are top-tier as well.
A lot of people who buy those kinds of foods do so out of choice, probably 85% don’t have any health issues to speak of. I know I’d recognize a Dunkin’ immediately, especially considering I had one almost daily (plain cake) with a coffee for about two years, only changing flavors on occasion. Often, it was all I ate that day.
However, if you don’t eat them regularly or have never had one, you wouldn’t know the difference. I have sensitive taste buds and olfactory senses.
The internet gets outraged and I am only just now hearing about it.
Yep - looks like the disease that causes some to be allergic to plant protein isn’t as rampant as one would think with all the attention on Gluten...
Something is great here. Not sure that should be called capitalism as it sounds more like highway robbery to me. I guess if somebody sells them for that price, then somebody will be foolish enough to pay that. We used to have a certain local brand of donut that you could buy for 60 cents a dozen here & they were excellent. Don’t know if they were gluten free because back in those days I had not even heard of gluten.
