Bostonist: Because "Regular" Means Cream and Sugar

growing up in Boston I have to say that I used to only know Dunkies. It was all we had here. However, since the arrival of other coffee shops I don't care much for dunkies anymore. I find their Muffins to be half baked and the donuts - well I don't eat them or any others for that matter. The coffee lacks that deep roast taste that I enjoy. I find it more like a warm milk shake. One other thing... Dunkies seems to have carde blanche to set up shop wherever they want to. Usually in some of the most dangerous intersections in town, making them even more dangerous with patrons slamming on their brakes to pull into the parking lot at last minute.

I'll always be disappointed in Dunkies for getting rid of their namesake dunkin donut, which had the nice little handle for easy dunking/extra fattening pleasure. Though I have to say their choice of John Goodman for voice talent on their new ads was a great one. Nothing says working class like Dan Conner!

I believe the author is Mike Miliard not Mile Miliard.

A Dunkin without the Donuts, orange without the purple would make me cry a little inside.

I hate to point this out, but "inculated" is not a word featured in the Phoenix article. I'm not even sure if "inculated" is a word. Did you mean inculcated? Thats a word.

The donuts went downhill about 4 or 5 years ago.
