America Runs on Dunkin'

So I like to think that I am not one of those New England snobs that thinks that New England is Gods greatest gift to earth and that there isn't anywhere else worth living on this lively planet of ours. You know who I'm talking about. When the word scenic gets thrown down like the royal seal of New England. But I am going off on a tangent.
When teainacan told me that she hadn't found a Dunkin' Donunts in Iowa I was shocked but I conceded. In some states Tim Hortons, Krispy Kreme and a variety of other donut shops dominate the cheap coffee and donuts industry scene. Her response was that she hadn't seen any cheep coffee/donut shops in Iowa at all. I swear to God my response seriously was " but America runs on dunkin'"

So two things about that
1) clearly I secretly am a New England snob and think that New England is the shit. And no where else can you pull off saying science 11 times in a day while looking at fall foliage and have each view be more picturesque than the next. There is something about New England that just touches the soul. But that's just my opinion.
2) what great advertising on the part of Dunkin' Donuts that subconsciously even I thought Dunkin Donuts was all over America when really its a New England staple.

Now I am not saying Dunkin Donuts serves the best donuts, the best coffee or the best tea. I am saying for under $5 I can have a pretty satisfying breakfast, a sweet treat, or a on the road sugar rush. They don't advertise excellence. They advertise simplicity, which in New England that counts for a lot.

So next time you are in New England teainacan your Dunkin' fix is on me.
