Crunch Donut"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Dunkin'<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever eaten a food that doesn\u2019t live up to the only descriptor in its title? Like a spicy dish that was not spicy at all? If you have, you know it’s a frustrating experience. It\u2019s kind of like a broken promise. <\/p>\n

This was the case with Dunkin\u2019 Donuts\u2019 new Chips Ahoy! Crunch Donut. See the word crunch there? I saw it too, and like a sad mindless sheep I gave DD my unconditional trust. Yet not one time did I hear something that even slightly resembled a crunching sound in my mouth whilst eating the donut. It was a more irksome experience than reading the children\u2019s poem \u201cFive Little Ducks<\/a>\u201d as a grown up.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the gist of the poem: Five little ducks went out one day, over the hill and far away. Mother duck said, \u201cquack, quack, quack,\u201d but only four little ducks came back.\u201d <\/p>\n

The trend continues until one little duck remains, and that little duck doesn\u2019t come back either. And it isn\u2019t until the last duck is gone that the mother duck shows any sign of worry. What kind of irresponsible parenting is that!? Don\u2019t you think she would\u2019ve called the duck authorities to put out a duck Amber Alert after her first kid disappeared? No, she waits until they\u2019re all gone. <\/p>\n

At the end she says, \u201cquack, quack, quack,\u201d and all the little ducks come back, but there’s no telling what kind of traumatic event they went through. They\u2019ve probably been brainwashed by a duck cult, or a group of duck terrorists. Either way, the mother\u2019s awful brand of parenting has assured these kids are going to live some ducked up lives. <\/p>\n

\"Dunkin'<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, the donut. So it\u2019s basically a fluffy donut with chocolate frosting on top, which is then sprinkled with crumbled Chips Ahoy! Cookies. Sounds good, and it was good, but the big problem is that the cookie crumbles aren\u2019t big enough and they are not crunchy in the slightest. <\/p>\n

The donut was almost like a cruller, not in looks or taste but in how light it was. It wasn’t totally filled with cake the whole way through, as there were air pockets in the middle of the donut. Because of this, it’s not a meal like some donuts, but more of a snack. The chocolate frosting was rather rich, and not having had a donut from DD in a hot minute, I forgot how good frosted donuts were. Hope this doesn\u2019t put me back on the wagon\u2026<\/p>\n

Back to those cookie crumbles. They were more of a tease than anything else. Mine did not have big enough chunks to get a true Chips Ahoy! cookie taste, and again, there was a total absence of the promised crunch. The cookies were kind of soft. Maybe the crunch is supposed to come when I slam my fist down on the table in anger after eating it and realizing I\u2019ve been lied to?<\/p>\n

I almost went for the Chips Ahoy! Cr\u00e8me donut, but I\u2019m a crunch guy so I went with my gut. I noticed that one also had crumbled cookies on top, and If I were you I would go that route. Again, this donut does not taste bad, but it’s a horrible lie. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice\u2026 you won’t fool me twice, Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, this is the last time! I\u2019ll not subscribe to your tomfoolery any longer! FREEEEEDDOOOOMMMMM!!!<\/p>\n
