At least when Boston Chicken decided they wanted to be known for things other than chicken, they still used a noun in the name.

I kinda hate when companies change names to the slang or shortened version. Teams do the same retarded shit.

Supersonics became just Sonics
Devil Ray's became Rays
KFC became KFC
ETC.

How do you mess up breakfast? I can literally microwave an egg and toast bread and it is far superior to what Dunkin can do.

I don't mind that white cheddar bagel twist thing toasted with cream cheese.

But, they hardly ever have it.

Dunkin Donuts still has drinkable coffee; esp since Tim Horton's changed their coffee recently and it's become undrinkable swill. Now I just get a few shots of the automated espresso if I end up at a Timmy's for coffee.

Don't you dare let the National Biscuit Company off without their share of the blame.

When I used to live in suburban Boston in the mid 90s, the donuts were still above average. Not as good as the best local places, or pre-Wendys Tim Hortons, but enough to pick one up 2-3 mornings a week for my hour long drive into the city.

Now, other than the cronut they had over last Christmas, they are inedible. If I want a donut, I wait until somebody brings Do-Rite into the office, or I make a pilgrimage to Old Fashioned on 113rd & Michigan a couple of times a year.

I like their veggie egg white sandwiches. Great coffee when working a 12-hour shift on 4 hours of sleep.

if you're going to shorten the name then just go with "DD".

"hey kids, we're going to Dunkin'!" "Who's Duncan?"
