Poison Donuts

[bobquasit]

The Dunkin' Donuts kiosk at Ruggles station sells contaminated donuts.

I ate a couple of plain sticks from there a few months ago. They tasted bad, really bad - as if they'd been fried in rancid oil, or contaminated with some nasty chemical. Nonetheless I ate them (memo to world: there are times when I'm not bright, particularly when it comes to donuts). I got really sick for the next few days. It felt like food poisoning, and I should know.

But I was hungry this morning, and I thought/hoped that was a one-time occurance, so I picked up a couple of plain sticks. My donut stupidity strikes again!

I got into work, grabbed some coffee, took a bite of donut...and it was just as bad as the first time. Spat out as much as I could and threw the donuts in the trash.

Imagine if the donuts had poisoned me again! Of course, George W. Bush is doing his best to make sure that even if the donuts had fucking KILLED ME, the Dunkin' Donuts corporation would at worst have to make only token payment to my widow and son. Nice to know that that bastard has his priorities straight.

I really hope that he and his fellow criminals will be put on trial some day. Unfortunately it would no doubt be one of those humane international courts in which the worst punishment is life in prison. Even MORE unfortunately, it will probably never happen. Bush would push the button first.

I stopped eating Dunkin Donuts years ago when they stopped baking on-site (tail end of the 80s).

I also don't eat Crispy Cremes, even though they are availble locally thru our Shaws stores, but that's a combination of politics and diet watching (Crispy is one of the major financial supporters of the Republican Party).

Last donut I had was an Entermain crumb cake donut, and that was a good year ago. I tend to avoid too many sweets in general. Breakfast for me is usually just a container of yogurt to keep the digestive system running.

Well, the donuts aren't "baked fresh daily," at least not on site as has been already pointed out. I'd bet that a DD in a subway station is going to have the least fresh donuts of anyplace, with them assuming that they have enough turnover of product that they don't have to worry about freshness.

On the other hand, that sounds like a problem in their baking process. I've never really had problems with Dunkin' Donuts stuff, but then again I've never had one from the Ruggles T stop (and haven't had a DD donut in maybe a year or more). It could well be that their particular central bakery is the one with a problem.

A new Dunkin' Donuts store is about to open in Alewife T station. I was thinking I might, on days when I was hungry, get some breakfast there. I may have to rethink that plan based on your experiences, Pete.
