Debuting a new, semi-regular feature! I
tryout questionable food items so that you don’t have to in… Steveats. (Note: Title
developed in about 10 seconds of brainstorming.)
The
inventors at ole Dunkin’ Donuts have been hard in work at the lab lately,
trying their best to create all sorts of weird flavor combinations. I’m not
sure why – Maybe they’ve been looking at the “success” of Taco Bell and Burger
King in splicing established junk foods with junky fast food. The two items
I’ve seen at their
shops this month have been the Reese’s peanut butter cup
donut square and the David Ortiz donut.
The first is
self-explanatory. It’s a donut square that’s filled with a chocolate and peanut
butter-like substance. It’s not especially tasty, but it’s not bad either. The
filling is clearly cheap and calorie-filled, kind of like their previous
attempts at a cookie dough filling. The cookie dough donut was far more
disgusting and disappointing, though. The Reese’s donut square costs more than
a regular donut, and while it’s OK, I’d much prefer a double chocolate or
Boston cream.
The David
Ortiz donut is a regular shell with white chocolate frosting, his number in
chocolate frosting, and jelly filling. It’s a kind of bizarre combination.
Again, it’s not bad, but the odd flavor mixing isn’t exactly good either. It
was a bit easier to eat than a normal donut jelly coated in sugar, but I prefer
the jelly sticks, whether plain or glazed. (By the way, Dunkin – Almost
everyone else has switched over to the glazed jelly sticks, and it’s a great
decision.)
So, while
Dunkin’ Donuts experiments are a mixed bag to me, they aren’t disgusting fast
food abominations, like some of the offerings from Burger King. Dunkin’ Donuts
is like the Dr. Frederick Frankenstein of fast food experimentation, whereas
Burger King is like Dr. Moreau.
