Dunkin Donuts & Me: A Love Story

My name is Alovelydai and I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts iced beverages. (Hi Alovelydai) It's now been 26 hours since my last drink and I'm already contemplating the 10 mile round trip to the nearest DD for a Vanilla Bean Coolatta. It is the equivalent of drinking frozen cake and who wouldn't want some of that. I don't think I can resist them or a DD when I drive by. 

I see a DD and my heart race goes up. I can spot them out in any city, in any where USA. The pink & orange logo, the huge coffee cup that adorns most locals, I heart it all. Most of them time I'm not even thinking about DD or their tasty goodness & then I turn a corner and there it is. I see a drive thru and my car goes on cruise control. I start practicing my order in my head: small, french vanilla ice coffee, little cream, 3 splenda. Thank you much.  America I run on Dunkin.

Will that be all? Why yes, why else would anyone come to Dunkin Donuts? Who needs pastries, bagels & flat bread sammies when they can yummy coffee deliciousness? I don't know those people. But if I did I'm sure they would agree that the new cheesy bagel twists are the perfect compliment.

This morning I had a face off with myself. I knew the DD was fast approaching but I had thwarted my taste buds with chocolate soy milk (a ritual I've practiced for months now). It didn't work. The sweet chocolaty taste gave way to the salty veggie cream cheesy flat bread slices that I had. I could pop some gum in submissive fashion to my tongue but the DD was right there...drive thru & all.

Do I have enough time? Yes. Great. Let's Do It.
NO! Wait, one or two a week is what we agreed on right Alovelydai?
But this can be number two!
No, don't forget Sunday morning.
Oh that doesn't count.
Why Not?
'Cause it was free!
Oh so just because the newest DD had a grand opening free coffee extravaganza that doesn't count? 
NO! It doesn't. I wasn't even trying to get coffee. I was just getting groceries near by & noticed the radio station van & orange & pink balloons. What would you have done?

"Hello, Thanks for choosing Dunkin Donuts. Would you like to try a delicious Coolatta?"

Sigh.It's like the heavens have opened in my honor...the rays cascade down to the speaker box. They had me at hello.

Yes, yes I will!
