Bloggin’ Donuts
There IS a Dunkin Donuts blog!!!! Check it out! On DunkinDonutsTalk.com there’s even a poem about DD. Here’s an excerpt: “Dear Dunkin’ Donuts, you are my star
You keep me wide awake in class wherever you are, near or far.
I lovingly sip your luscious coffee
And sleep is exorcised like a demon from each deep dark corner of me….”
Wow. The categories even include “spiritual,” “sports” and “Help Another DD lover.” And even better news - they have an RSS Feed!

I grew up on DD, it was a weekly event after church each Sunday, but I have to admit to being a true Krispy Kreme fan after living in Winston-Salem and getting to know their talented Sr. VP of Marketing, Stan Parker, who is a UNC Kenan-Flagler grad! If you look at their website and click on Friends of Krispy Kreme, they are getting very close to creating an online community. Right now, it is only one-way communication, however, as the Friends of Krispy Kreme (FOKK) get an e-newsletter sent to them each month, but there is no way for them to chat on line or to create a sense of community among them. It is a powerful group, though. I have a lot of admiration for Stan for what he has achieved at Krispy Kreme.

Okay, it’s not about blogging, but just had to mention that Dunkin’ Donuts brands is going to be acquired, seen as a great brand for expansion. The article mentions its great coffee first, and then the baked goods it sells. More DD around the world for Michael!

Mon Dieu! They never offered Pernod or Ricard 25 at a Dunkin so they might as well be sold. For 2.4+ Billion $! That’s a lot of dough!

The DD baker died–so sad. Just had to post his obit here.
