Anyone want to start a class action lawsuit? The “whipped cream” on their drinks tastes like CoolWhip. There is no way it is real cream. ---

> [@Azeotrope](#): > > Haw haw, **boffking** orders girly-sissy-foo-foo drinks at Dunkin’ Donuts! Whatsa matter, can’t handle _real_ coffee? If this is addressed to the OP, he’s gone. Like the jobs that Springsteen sings about in _My Hometown_ – “Foreman says these jobs are going, boys, and they ain’t coming back”. That’s our **boffking** – after he starts a thread, he ain’t coming back. Let me explain how this works. Just looking at the OP, you can tell immediately how much hard work and study went into starting this thread. The **boffster** probably spent hours debating whether there was enough genuine content, human interest, and social value in the topic to justify a new thread, and eventually decided, yes there was, and proceeded to do the requisite research to make sure that it contained well-vetted substantive information along with relevant and insightful commentary. That done, he launched this thread, and the quality and depth of knowledge it reflects speaks for itself. After doing all that work, you can hardly expect him to hang around and participate in it. The **boffster** is a busy kid, and undoubtedly is even now doing the research for his next thread. The process of starting only threads of the highest quality is so difficult and labor-intensive that despite his dedication to the task, the **boffster** can typically only start between 300 to 500 threads a day, and of course can’t afford the time to actually participate in more than approximately zero of them. But such are the demands of great journalism, and we’re lucky we have such a presence in our midst. ---

Hell yeah!! Their donuts, when whole, don’t fit into their small coffee cups, therefore can’t be dunked, therefore are NOT dunkin’ funkin’ donuts!! ---

This can be solved if they didn’t copyright the topping. BTW, CoolWhip would be an excellent name for an S&M movie starring Eskimos. And if such a thing exists I don’t want to know about it. ---
