Cumbies v. Dunkies
If you don't know what the title means, go away.
It all comes down to ice coffee. At Cumbies you can make it your own color, as it should be. DD must relinquish their control on the milk and cream.It's un-American.

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this one this week.
I still call it The Jake.

I like my coffee like I like my women. Pale, weak and sweat in the heat. So Dunks.

Too much. Dunkies gets too much cred when Cumbies is way cheaper and kets you do your own milk and sugar. That's a no-can-do at Dunkies and a dealbreaker for me. It's fucking ALWAYSs wrong at Dunkies, I'm generally happy if they get kinda close. Which is not a strong endorsement.
This guy, he's kinda what, Southern Connecticut? I'm having a hard time placing the accent. Towards NYC at least. But he tells the truth

Also, Dick Ritchie from True Romance which is only, um, one of the greatest fucking movies of all time. "I dunno, but its a fuckin' lot!"
He also did a short spot as the manager of Pop Copy (the Kinko's parody with horrible customer service) on a Chappelle's show skit that was hilarious. "Hey, listen, buddy, I gotta go take a shit"If we're gonna wear uniforms, we should all wear somethin' different!

^^ his accent sounds Rhode Island to me.
Also I agree, Scumby's iced coffee over DD for the sugar and cream reason. I dont think they've ever gotten it right for me at Dunks and usually I'm back at the counter having somebody fix it..
Starbucks FTW. Narino 70 cold brew! Put your own cream and sugar in! way good

The bigger issue is DD not giving the customer the ability to add sugar and cream. Who the fuck does that? Coffee is a very personal experience. It seems presumptuous and an unnecessary step for the barista. Why do they do that? I can't image a reason other then saving money by reducing cream consumption

Haven't heard this video yet, but he's from NYC. Funny thing is I'm almost sure he was born in Manhattan, but his accent always struck me as one of the boroughs (I know, Manhattan is also a borough, but you know what I mean). He either hung around with a bunch of Queens/Bkln kids growing up or just adopted it somehow.
I used to be a somewhat regular Cumbies patron but haven't been to one in years. There is one in Woodstock, VT that used to be a regular post-Killington stop for me. No opinion on how it stacks up against Dunkies--but Dunkies sure seems to be everywhere these days.[quote][//quote]

Dunkin' sucks balls. I don't get the appeal and grew up with it in Boston.
