    What do y'all think?

    Did Mad Dog have anything to do with Dunkin' losin' the donuts?

    https://www.marketwatch.com/press-r...-donuts-reveals-new-brand-identity-2018-09-25

    "Dunkin' Donuts has been on a first-name basis with its fans long before the introduction of its iconic tagline, "America Runs on Dunkin','' with customers around the world naturally and affectionately referring to the brand as "Dunkin'." In recognition of this relationship, and as one of many steps to transform itself into the premier beverage-led, on-the-go brand, the company today unveiled its new branding at its Global Franchisee Convention that officially recognizes its name as simply "Dunkin'." The change will officially take place in January 2019."

    Guess we can't call it "Double D" anymore... and we can't call it "the D" because that's "D"etroit...

    LATE ENTRY: @noelekal, that’s the pic I utilized when you told me to mow your lawn...that pic comes in pretty handy for all sorts of stuff where the warranted reply is “NO”...glad I kept it around in the old Google Photos machine. :D

    You do realize that in your defense you prove conclusively that "DD" is not about the donuts for you... ;)

    Mad Dog's refusal to eat their donuts made them finally come to the realization that they need to change their name to placate their best customer/ marketer.

    In all seriousness ... its been about the coffee for many many years. (I don't get it really, but obviously some folks seem to love the stuff. Too bland for my taste.)

    I don’t see how you can blame Mad Dog here.
    It it wasn’t for him Dunkin’ Would have shuttered their doors a long time ago.

    Sure this is not an IHOP type of ruse. Lot of free pub for a “fake” news story
