I didn't know who makes them or where they are made, but the crullers taste like those Little Debbie's glazed crullers now and they lost me as a regular customer who used to count on them for 2 large iced a day. On the rare occasion I do get a coffee it's Honey dew or McDonald's now. Their microwave sandwiches are a waste of money also and I won't ever buy a way over priced colatta which I understand cost them 20 cents for a large and they charge $4.00:yak5:. Starbucks will never see me either because I'm a cheap bass turd who expects value not gouging.

Just to let you know, Dunks doesn't use microwaves and coolattas cost a lot more than 20 cents to make. Don't believe everything you hear.

The donuts s*ck....mass produced junk. The coffee s*cks too.....
Availability and convenience is about the only they have going for them.
cha-ching!

That came off a little negative sounding.....I think I might need more coffee.......off to Dunks!:rotf2:

When I used to get the ham egg and cheese sandwich they used a bowl and a magic box that cooked the egg in a bowl, ham was put on a cardboard pan with a metallic side much like the ones used for Celesta microwave pizza and then put in the magic box. Much the same way I used to cook scrambled eggs on the boat using a microwave. Maybe they have stopped using a microwave now but I stopped going there long ago.
The coolatta is cream, ice and coffee with a squirt of syrup, all of which they use in massive quantities so they can get all the ingredients allot cheaper than we at home can. So the most expensive ingredient is the cream, let say 50 cents for all the ingredients, still $4 for a large the last time I was there so they might even be more now. Here is a recipe for people to try at home:
How to Make a Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolatta at Home | eHow.com

they have different ovens now....eggs & meats are all precooked in some factory and reheated in the new fangled ovens......fast food

Just like every other quick service restaurant, Dunks has everything pre-made, then prepared when its ordered. If you want it fast, there has to be a compromise. I don't eat many of the products myself but a lot of people do and seem to think they're good.

Ed, I can assure you that the coolatta is more expensive to make than you think. If you ever want to learn how its done and see the real cost to a franchisee, come visit me at work.

Last of the real good donuts
 

In Abington on route 123 across from J.P.s' Homestyle Turkey restaurant is a Dunks. It used to be Honey Dew and before that it was a coffee shop that was run by a greek kid that showed up every morning at 2 a.m. and they started making the donuts. used to go in there at 4 a.m. when I worked the midnight to 8 shift for twelve long god damn years and get a black coffee and two fresh plain crullers. No he never charged me because I used to stay for awhile and when I was there he never had any trouble with the drunks who stayed out till the 2 a.m. bar closing. Those were the last best donuts I ever ate with a close second being just cooked and dipped honey galzed.
