As you get older, it is amazing how the littlest things bring a smile to your face, and complete joy to every plumbing chamber of your heart.
DUNKIN’ DONUTS is on its way to bringing 24-hour delight, throughout the metroplex, within months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The corporate announcement, thank God, was made yesterday.
I know that at some point, under intense questioning, from our regular family doctor, to my cardiologist and, my oncologist (you all know the drill that I’m referring to), they will ask if my diet has changed at all – in the last week; month; or, year. Etc. I fully intend to lie…
From the time I was seven years old, growing up in Maine, when DUNKIN’ DONUTS was then known as Kettle Donuts, to now, they have been my single most favorite fast-food stop, ever.
To give you some perspective, their popularity, throughout New England, is greater than Red Sox Nation, the Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins combined.
Why?
They have the best plain (called ‘cake’ out here on the prairie); sugar and chocolate donuts in the history of mankind! Followed by their chocolate milk, and hot chocolate.
From a small donut shop south of Boston to a $7 billion operation, in 32 countries (and, growing), they have NEVER lost their identity.
For someone who traveled for over forty years throughout the US, Canada and the UK, they were the one place I could count on to get my blood sugar back in balance, even quicker than the Emory University Hospital.
I’ll finally be united with a friend I can trust…
