Aren't all the donuts made in Abington at Cadete Enterprises and delivered all over Eastern Mass.
I look like I eat donuts but don't. Everything bagel with chive creme cheese rocks big time about every two months. Pick a couple up and visit my 85 year old mother and have coffee with her. She loves them.

I go to get the camp stove and the cooking utensils
and they are no where to be found...

so i says to the wife...
Did you grab that box i had in the kitchen?
she says to me "what box"?

the one that said CAMPING ON IT!, i yell

i thought you packed it she explains....

so now we have coffee and creamer
but no way to heat up the water..

later ......
i'm starting to feed the dog and in the
dog food bag there was a stainless steal measuring cup
used as a scoop.....

so i built a hot fire and heated one cup of water at a time
Luckily we had coffee cups with us at least...

that was the best tasting cup of coffee i can remember
and we used that little measuring cup all weekend.

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. 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!

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:
