Today is 'FREE Iced Coffee Day' at Dunkin Donuts - nationwide - 10 a.m. to 10 p.m

[Breeze54]

SIP IT: FREE ICED COFFEE

It's Free Iced Coffee Day, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., at Dunkin' Donuts. That means today the chain will
use more than 88 million ice cubes in enough coffee to fill seven Olympic-size swimming pools.

FREE Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin Donuts

POSTED May 14, 3:22 PM

In case you have not heard the news, Dunkin' Donuts said it will celebrate its second annual free iced coffee day Thursday, and the likely result is that the chain will serve nearly 4 million cups of iced coffee to customers nationwide. There is no rush - unlike the free Starbucks or McDonalds tastings that are puny and only run for a couple hours in the morning, Dunkin Donuts is giving out Full Size 16oz drinks from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Customers can walk into any participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurant (or can hit any number of stores throughout the day...) throughout the country.

Customers will be encouraged to try try their new iced coffee drinks; Berry Berry Iced Coffee, which combines the seasonal tastes of blueberry and raspberry with Dunkin' Donuts' award-winning coffee, the chain said.

And because I thought it was fitting, the new Dunkin commercial by They might be giants! I love the small limping animal crawling away on the floor

1. That sounds good...

I've never had a dunkin donuts coffee before so I might do a looksee.

Thanks!

[Breeze54]

2. I avoid DD but I might

try one of these later on today, after the morning rush too.

I guess they have different flavors too, I hope they have Hazelnut!

Enjoy!

[Papagoose]

8. Enjoy it!

DD coffee is my vice. My coffee addiction draws me to DD at least three times a day. When I was offered my current job, I scouted out the closest DD before even considering taking the position.

I need help.

[taterguy]

3. Is it also "Spam DU" day?

[Breeze54]

4. Then don't frigging read it or get a free coffee.

Suit yourself.

:eyes:

[taterguy]

5. How can I avoid reading a thread header?

Do tell

[Breeze54]

6. Hide it!

What do you have against fellow DUers having a chance to save a little cash? :shrug:

[taterguy]

11. I'm opposed to people doing corporations' dirty work for free

Let them buy their own damn ad

[Breeze54]

13. Do you discuss high gas prices on DU?

Do you complain about 'certain' companies, like Exxon or Wally Mart?

What's the difference? I didn't post any link to DD, I posted an article.

[taterguy]

19. I don't care about the price of gas

Thanks to my fabulous Gary Fisher Wahoo mountain bike I can get around without buying gas.

And no, I don't complain about Exxon. They're no more or less evil than any other oil company.

[Breeze54]

20. The high gas prices affect food prices and everything else.

Your riding a MTN bike isn't the issue and not everyone can utilize a bike to get around.

You don't care about your fellow DUers?

[taterguy]

25. You're trying to get DUers hooked on unhealthy food and you accuse me of not caring?

:wtf:

[Breeze54]

26. You really are over the top!

:eyes:

Give me a break... I'm not 'forcing' anyone to do anything.

[Dr. Strange]

27. Aha! The gig is up, Breeze54!

Now we know what your dastardly plan is: get us hooked on Dunkin's iced coffee and then take over the world. We're onto you, now!

Your post kinda pissed me off, too. But that's because we don't have a Dunkin' here. So I'll be missing out.

:cry:

[Breeze54]

29. You found me out... it's been my evil plan all along!1!

:evilgrin:



:rofl:

I'm sorry you can't go get a freebie. :(

Those that are upset about DD & The Carlyle Group should look at it this way...

No one's BUYING the freebie, so they're losing $$, right? ;)

So? Go get as many freebie's as you can today!

[taterguy]

32. Now you're providing a free ad for that asshole Rupert Murdoch

Ponderous
Fucking ponderous

[Breeze54]

34. Dumbest claim ever

:eyes:

[taterguy]

35. Lamest reply ever

[Breeze54]

37. What bug crawled up your ass, that you've

been attacking me all day over fucking free coffee?

Back off, asshat!

PS. Thanks for kicking this post again too! :D

[taterguy]

Shilling for giant corporations is offensive to me

Sorry

[Breeze54]

41. And your accusation is total BS!

And you're making a jerk of yourself, so have fun, as I'm enjoying it now! :hi:

[Regret My New Name]

47. Thanks alot! Thanks to you I just ate a dozen donuts and drank two gallons of iced coffee...

I hope you're happy... :P

[taterguy]

49. Two gallons of iced coffee?

Something tells me your kidneys and other vital organs aren't gonna be too happy with you.

[Regret My New Name]

59. Nahh, they are happy that I gave them that extra boost of energy.

They were feeling pretty worn out from processing those two kegs of beer I drank last weekend all by myself.

[taterguy]

60. Where the fuck did you get the idea to drain two kegs by yourself?

Oh wait, I just noticed your screen name.

Nevermind.

[Breeze54]

50. And an angel lost it's wings.....

:rofl:

:hi:

[taterguy]

51. Oh for fuck's sake

Can't you even spell the word "its" correctly?

[Breeze54]

52. Is this you, Taterhead?

http://www.williambay.com.nyud.net:8090/stevemcqueen/pics/potatohead.jpg

No wonder you're protesting so much! :P

[taterguy]

53. My photo has been posted on this site plenty of times

Besides, all I see in your post is a Red X

[Breeze54]

54. You might have to refresh it....

I used .nyud.net:8090

[taterguy]

55. You might have to stop stealing bandwidth

[Breeze54]

56. How to NOT Steal Bandwidth posting pics

This works for most pictures.

Say you have a picture you want to use in a posting;

http: //foobar.com/ JulieNewmar. jpg

Now, if you just link it to your posting, you immediately
start stealing bandwidth from foobar.com.

This is simply not a nice thing to do as some websites pay
for every byte they transfer.

If you change that URL a little;

http ://foobar.com .nyud.net:8090 /Julie Newmar.jpg
---------------.......^^^^^^^^^^

ADD this after the " .com " >>>>>> .nyud.net:8090

Hence, the REASON I used --> .nyud.net:8090

:silly:

[taterguy]

57. I only drink Maxwell House

So no, that's not me

[AngryOldDem]

15. You ignore it. Why did you open it if you knew it would piss you off? n/t

[Sherman A1]

10. No

but, it appears to be mean spirited response day.....

[bananas]

23. Some people are like that before they've had their coffee in the morning. nt

[PCIntern]

7. there's a DD right outside my window here

in CC Philly...

DD in CC...


The lines will be around the block I'm sure. They practiacally are in the AM every day in any event.

[Snarkturian Clone]

14. I don't know if you've experienced this but all the DD's in CC

that I've been to kinda suck.. slow service, orders wrong, laziness (make you spread your own cream cheese... I'm basing this on two locations... juniper/walnut and 11/chestnut) I thought they were ALL like this until I went to the 17/washington one and the N Broad/Parrish one and received super-fast and great service.


PS: Can you PM me where your dental practice is? My receding gums are yelling at me to find a dentist!

[Sherman A1]

9. Thank You

I don't have one in my area, but it was very nice of you to post this. In this economy, anything that we can get as a Freebie is something worth passing on. :toast:

[Breeze54]

12. I'm glad someone isn't upset I posted about a freebie!

I mean, with these high gas prices, I hope more people post about freebies!
We've had knock down drag out fights on DU in GD about Starbucks and other
things like that before, so I see no issue with posting about a freebie.

You're Welcome! ;)

[AngryOldDem]

16. If they're also handing out their cream-filled donuts, I'll be there! n/t

[Breeze54]

17. LOL... I'll take a chocolate donut, thank you!

:D

[iamahaingttta]

18. Dunkin' Donuts is owned by the Carlyle Group...

...the company that brought you George W Bush, 9/11 and the Iraq war.
Anybody who patronizes Dunkin' Donuts, and it's sister company Baskin Robbins, is part of the problem and is contributing to the complete degradation of this planet by giving profits to war-mongers so that they can use those profits to continue their project to kill off as many people on the planet as possible, destroy the functions of government and privatize everything.

Enjoy your coffee!

[dkf]

22. Carlyle Group owns my phone company.

Kinda hard for me to avoid them now.

I heard it was a pretty bad investment for them :)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. You beat me to it!!!!

[fishwax]

30. well, if you get a *free* coffee, then you aren't really putting money in their coffers

[iamahaingttta]

38. Yeah, but you're gonna buy a donut...

...to go with that free coffee.

Besides, the whole point is to make new customers.

Dunkin' Donuts is evil!
Another large corporate entity dedicated to giving a whole new generation of Americans diabetes!
Everything at DD and Baskin Robbins is pure, subsidized sugar, and cheap, unhealthy ingredients.
I'm going to do a little research now, and I would be shocked! if Carlyle doesn't also have stock in or own companies that make diabetes medications...

[fishwax]

39. No, I don't really like donuts -- just coffee for me

:)

I'm going to do a little research now, and I would be shocked! if Carlyle doesn't also have stock in or own companies that make diabetes medications...
That sounds quite plausible :grr:

[cynatnite]

21. I wish we had a DD around here...

Instead we get crappy kreme donuts. :puke:

[UndertheOcean]

28. Cool

[stimbox]

31. Fruit flavored coffee?

:puke:

Whatever happened to coffee flavored coffee?

48. Don't worry Grovelbot, I won't spend any money on that Iced Coffee either...

But if it will make you happy I'll bring you one too... although that might short circuit you so maybe we should abandon that idea. :)

36. I think today is also free southern chicken fried sandwich day at McDonald's. nt

[angstlessk]

40. thanks, taterguy, with all that back and forth between you and Breeze54

I wondered what all the interest in free iced coffe was and it got me open this post, which I would not have other wise opened..NOW I AM ON MY WAY TO DUNKIN DONUTS FOR MY FREE ICED COFFEE!!

again, thanks taterguy!

[taterguy]

42. You're riding a bike there right?

I'd hate to be responsible for more pollution.

[angstlessk]

45. no, I'm walking, saves rubber on my tires that way...barefoot of course!

[taterguy]

46. Does your local DD let people in barefoot?

I thought that was against health regulations.

[Breeze54]

43. LOL!

I just drove past a DD but I hate the people who work there, so I won't be going in and
I don't care for iced coffee or tea, but I hope you enjoy your Freebie! Make them pay! :P

[Nutmegger]

44. Thanks for posting.

I totally forgot about this. Thanks for the reminder. :)

[elehhhhna]

58. DD is owned by the Carlyle Group. Stay away!

[Breeze54]

61. Hit them for all the free stuff you can get and buy nothing!!

Drain their resources.

[taterguy]

62. The They Might Be Giants ad in the link was quite catchy

Thanks for posting it!
