Nobody gets Dunk’s because it’s good.
You get it because it used to be like $2 for a coffee and it has a drive through, where the gas station doesn’t. It’s the caffeine equivalent of bottom-shelf vodka.
I got first introduced to Dunks 25 years ago in Boston. They used to actually have a distinct, strong coffee flavor. I didn’t like it, but like you say, it was relatively inexpensive. Over the intervening decades the quality of coffee has been inverse to the sugar content of the Dunkin’ menu. It’s all crappy sugar bombs these days and the distinct flavor that was their brand disappeared about 15 years ago. Also, the vast majority of the street litter these days in my area is dunks. I don’t know what it is about the brand but the paper bags and plastic cups in the road are mostly all dunkin detritus chucked out the window by shitty people.
You pay two bucks for coffee? If I'm paying two dollars or more for a cup of coffee I expect it to be some fancy shit like artisanal dried specialty espresso or some shit like that. God, American coffee culture sucks so much.
God, American ~~coffee~~ culture sucks so much.
America doesn't have culture, we have several hundred million "rugged individuals."
Are you not American or just rural? A cup of basic black in a city ain't cost 2 dollars for like 5-8 years. Probably even longer.
Not American. Not rural. I live in a major metropolitan city not in north America.
That's not uniquely American though...you'd easily pay 5EUR for an espresso where I live, and it will just be OK. A cup of filter coffee is also around 5EUR.
An espresso is AU$4 at my favourite local cafe, but their coffee is pretty good since they roast it themselves.
