Dunkin' Everything

Saturday morning I went to Dunkin' Donuts to get a special breakfast for the family. As you probably know, you can buy a lot more than donuts at Dunkin' Donuts. They also sell munchkins, bagels, croissants, and of course coffee and assorted other beverages. It seems that it wasn't that long ago when the only food sold there was donuts and munchkins.

You might say, here goes Bill again, complaining about too many choices and varieties. It's true that I'm a bit of a curmudgeon; longing for a past, simpler time. When Oreos were single-stuff, M&Ms were plain, and DD sold donuts - a wide variety of donuts. Now, there are so many other items crowding the display shelves, most Dunkin' Donutses only carry about 10 or 12 different types of donuts. That's fine with me as long as they still offer good old jelly, but my wife wanted a donut with coconut - no dice. If only DD would focus on their core business, they could produce a wider variety of donuts, and satisfy more customers. Because really, who would actually want a croissant?
