Dunkin D' fires at Starbucks

| | Comments (2) |

dunkincoffee.jpgUPDATE: Duh, there are no Dunkin Donuts in So Cal. My apologies for this oversight, sometimes I think I'm still in NY. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

PREVIOUSLY: Get a small latte or cappuccino for $.99 at Dunkin Donuts until 10pm today only. The stunt is well timed. Competitor Starbucks is closing down all its stores for three hours today to "retrain" its employees to make drinks. Surely a lot of customers will stop in just to check out the change, if any.

But the best part of this coffee quarrel is a video on the Dunkin Donuts site making fun of the sizes at the green giant. I like Starbucks coffee just as much as you, but a large is still a large even if they call it a venti.

Find a DD near you.

Dear Julia,

Okay now I'm frustrated. Dunkin Donuts was my favorite place to buy donuts (French Delight was the best). I receive coupons all the time and now here on Bargain Hunters. Okay I give up! I can't find a single one in So. Cal, do you know something I don't? Please do tell.

Sincerely,
Merlin Stone

Merlin,
I screwed up! I used to live in NY where DD was ubiquitous. I forgot that the chain is not in So Cal. My apologies for getting your hopes up. Julia
