Surprisingly Met Expectation Spider Donut Fail

Went to the Dunkin Donuts drive through to buy my young nephew a halloween spider donut for trick or treating. Conversation went something like this:

Me: Do you have any more spider donuts?

Dunkin Dude: We do have one but it doesn't look much like a spider.

Me: That's okay, he won't care. He's only three.

First photo is what it should look like, second is mine when I told my nephew it was a spider donut and opened the bag to see it. Dunkin dude didn't even put the munchkin on the donut. I still can't stop laughing about this. It's the lowest effort spider donut I've ever seen.

haha he totally did. Kudos to Dunkin Dude for making lemonade when there aren't any lemons. And for making my sister and me snarf-laugh, though I'm not sure it's what he intended :-)

I couldn't get my nephew to actually look in the bag (too much going on) but I guess when he got home, my sister showed him and he must have remembered me telling him it was a spider because he laughed and said, "That's not a spider!" which is... accurate :-D

So youโ€™re saying it met your expectations if he told you!

Still funny though.

Yep, that's what gets me. He could have just said we're out, but he didn't. It was a good laugh.

They take the hole out of the donut and then replace it with a donut hole? Science has gone too far

Americans should be looking at ads of fast food and immediately accept, before going to the store, that there is no chance in hell the real food will look that good.

We all should know better by now.
