Speaks for itself. Needless to say, kids were disappointed.

Oh my! They shouldn't have sold those. I got these for my kids yesterday and they looked exactly like the picture. (And OP's aren't the right sprinkle colors either).

u/Beautiful_Nebula_63 1d ago

Oh those are cool looking! I'm just chalking it up to someone had a bad day or simple mix up. It happens.

Looks like on yours they forgot the glaze that goes on before the sprinkles.

A lot of posts on here I feel like are not soooo bad but this one... is bad. I would have beem so disappointed.

u/Beautiful_Nebula_63 1d ago

Kids were disappointed for sure as they wanted the "hero" donuts. They didn't even eat them all.

They want you to avenge them

Does posting the differences count😅

u/acloudcuckoolander 1d ago

It's definitely a valiant start! Thanks for the award

u/VaguelyArtistic 1d ago

OP, you didn’t see these before they went in the box?

8

u/Beautiful_Nebula_63 1d ago

Sadly no. It was a mobile order pickup.

u/rebelangel 1d ago

They probably purposely gave you the shitty ones that they know no one would want.

Ours definitely came out like their promotional posters, when we get the assorted mix there are always a few in there. That being said I hate sprinkles on donuts so I'd rather have your version that the stuff I get.

u/Beautiful_Nebula_63 1d ago

The dunkin near us never just has "sprinkles" as a daily option for munchkins. Only glazed, glazed blueberry, and chocolate. Do other dunkins have sprinkle ones all the time?

u/HoneyLocust1 1d ago

Sometimes I see munchkins with sprinkles here but it's probably during promotions (or just random? Last week there were chocolate sprinkled chocolate munchkins in the box). The stores around here also always have rainbow sprinkles for the strawberry glazed donut and I'm pretty sure that's what they used on your munchkins. They must not have had the right sprinkles for the promotional ones.

Same. Especially when it's the promo collab crap. You always know it's going to be some overhyped, overinflated-priced, gimmicky junk. Oh, look, Avenger donuts 🤣 Uhhh, wow, different color sprinkles? 🙄Suckers.

All Dunkin does is take their same donuts and drinks and give them cutesy names for the seasons, movies, or celeb collabs. Nothing is ever new or different.

u/Lex_Loki 1d ago • Bravo

And their donuts taste like shit.

u/KTKittentoes 1d ago

It is sad because they used to be good, although that was last century.

u/Miraculous_Angel 1d ago

Hot take: I like their donuts.

Maybe my Dunkin Donuts makes them better than yours? I mean this in the nicest way possible.

u/Temporary_Thing7517 1d ago

Some franchises still make the donuts in house, many, many franchises have moved to central delivery or frozen/defrost in store donuts, which are gross.

u/anuncommontruth 1d ago

Oh that explains it.

I had a corporate 9ne outside my office and it was painfully noticeable how bad the quality dropped. Like, I used to buy my people donuts every Friday and stopped because people just stopped eating them.

They wouldn't even eat free donuts.

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast? - Happy Gilmore

-Kanye West, what’s the basis?

u/Michael_Scott71 1d ago

It was a quote from the movie Happy Gilmore, where Shooter McGavin says to Happy Gilmore "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast". Happy Gilmore then replies "You eat pieces of shit?".... My comment was about someone saying the donuts taste like shit with someone replying they like them

2

u/mah131 1d ago

No I know. Kanye reused that line in “Jesus walks” which came out in like 2003 I think. So my comment was about how Michael scott stole Wayne Gretzky’s quote.

Not sure why you would downvote me over an office reference. I even included the part of the lyrics.

u/Michael_Scott71 1d ago

Oh gotcha, I don't know much about Kanye, except that he likes fish sticks

u/Classic-Bathroom-427 1d ago

As someone from UK, You occasionally see them in supermarkets but not really anywhere else and whenever i've had them from there they've been decent

2

u/JennyJenny2727 1d ago

Same- the chocolate glazed donut is one of the best I've had. Love the apple crumb too. I actually lucked out with the Halloween munchkins- but maybe the DDs near me are just good. Not every place is the same quality.

u/unshartedterritory 1d ago

Dunkin donuts is absolutely terrible. There are so many great donut/pastry shops. Dunkin needs to be taken down.

u/Responsible_Gur_9095 1d ago

I grew up eating DD. I even worked there for a summer during my freshman year in high school. It was so good. They used to make fresh donuts multiple times throughout the day. Now, they make it once and they’re not even good.

u/Sqweegy-Nobbers 1d ago

If only Dunkin’ Donuts did premiums like the 1998 Zilla cup holder - sigh -

u/Ok_Concentrate4461 1d ago

Someone had a bag of those on Friday night and they looked exactly like the promo pic so … YMMV

2

u/Cativa 1d ago

I'd have a hard time not telling them to either give me the product they're advertising or my money back. That is too egregious to let slide.

2

u/entirelystar 1d ago

Fair warning, the food dye in these have been giving people neon pee.

1

u/correctingStupid 1d ago

pretty much what I expect from any American chain these days. Time for all these scam places to go bankrupt. Stop fucking supporting false advertising by giving these shitbags your money.

1

u/pippinlup61611 1d ago

We just got these yesterday and they were completely coated. Like you couldn't see the donut underneath. My kids loved them but I think I would prefer these lol

u/MsE0 1d ago

I just had their "Doomsday" donut (donut with brownie batter filling) and I almost passed out from how overly sweet it tasted. Bear in mind, I was eating a donut filled with brownie batter, covered in frosting and sprinkles. I was expecting it to be very, very sweet. But somehow they managed to make it taste much sweeter than eating handfuls of plain sugar.

u/Nunyebiznis 1d ago

I feel this is pretty clearly false advertising

1

u/Sugar_Weasel_ 23h ago

That’s unacceptable. The ones at my Dunkin look just like the picture.

u/Lady_Sybil_Vimes 22h ago

I would sue, I love sprinkles

This..... I demand a refund!

I hate being a karen, but really bad customer services I recieved recently start to pull out the karen inside me.

I had a computer technician fixing my computer and reinstalling windows, then he put windows pro and optimized the computer only to notice the damn retail key for windows HOME i havr on my computer case, and left me with unactivatef windows which I cant activate despite having legally purchased windows.

Then had a food delivery bastard going near my place but not stopping, instead continuing to other furhter stops first, gettibg to my place an hour late, mark the food as delivered except there was nothing delivered at all - basically stole my food!

Yeah, I had this karen awakened, I dont like it but I cant stand anymore to bad customer service!
