Doin’ things is what I like to do…yes!
One of the things living in Massachusetts has done for me is taught me to pity anyone who doesn’t live within walking distance of a Dunkin Donuts. All my big plans for escaping New England some day? Entirely dependent on a successful nationwide expansion, which according to Slate is actually underway as we speak. It’s not the donuts. It’s the coffee. 3 words:
Best. Coffee. Ever.
And to think I scoffed when I was first told about the phenomenon. My apologies to the coffee gods. *bows in supplication*
Anyway, the point of that article is actually the current ad campaign, which is driving me batshit crazy. Hell of a thing. Way better than Target, who they compare it to. The scary thing is that the stupid song is actually doing what it says! The bathtub totally gets scrubbed more efficiently while chanting, “I’m slightly more productive now than previous because/ I’m slightly more efficient than I previously was.”
In any case, if I ever win the lottery, I’m setting aside a chunk of the proceeds for a cup of Dunkin’s coffee every morning for the rest of my life. I love it that much. I only wish that I could have discovered it before I quit smoking, since coffee’s just not the same without a cigarette. Ah, well. In my next lifetime, I suppose…
