all I see are cups w/ my wife’s cousin’s name on them…
I liked Dunkin’ before, when they just had people who couldn’t pick out a donut, now it’s idiots who cannot figure out what kind of bread they want on a damn sammich too.
Subway needed the compition I guess.
Knew that was coming the moment Starbucks came out as Christian-hating bigots.
….but, it’s a start
Unfortunately, Dunkin is just cheap drip coffee. Not really a sub for espresso, at all.
Yeah, but it beats getting an enema.
The way I see it, no store is obligated to celebrate Christmas. Besides, tinsel, glitter, trees, snowflakes, and Jingle Bells are all secular anyway. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy that aspect of the Christmas celebration, I’m just saying there’s nothing really Christian about it. Anybody can do it. The stores do it for sales. So what? Go celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior at Church and at home and with your fellow Christians. The culture will never embrace Christ.
OMG. This is still a thing? Seriously?!?
The bold red and green Starbuck’s cup is more festive than Dunkin’ Donuts. IMHO. The word Joy and evergreen leaves makes it more Xmas-y?
Really?!?
You guys sure are lucky. I live in a small town and we don’t have DD. If you want coffee away from home you have to bring it. I must admit my thermos has no
Seasonal greetings on it.
Heh, apropos on so many levels, scatological humour never gets old.
With you there, why allow retailers gilt trip you into spending money on anything for their gain?
The red cup with the green logo looks plenty festive to me. Give it up you haters, lol!
Show me one that says merry Christmas, then I’ll be impressed
Well, it would be way more festive if Five Bucks hadn’t already outed themselves as Christian haters, now it’s just pandering, eh?
But but but… Candy Canes!!!11!1
LOL. Hey, any opportunity to take a shot at Starbucks, I guess.
A coffee shop somewhere will have cups that say Merry Christmas, but we’ll never know about it.
“… spirit of the holiday season …”
What “holiday season” might that be?

Great avatar MJ!
If I owned a CAFE I would not have Xmas or any other holiday on my cups.
In order to get a huge break on cups from amazon or whoever you have to order 50,000 cups. If they are blank you can use them all year. But. If they have
A season greeting your screwed.
I know someone who did this. They still have ‘Xmas 2000’ cups in large quantity.
I was an early adopter of Starbucks before it was trendy. I love their bold coffee, I want a tall one with no cream or sugar.
Around 2006 I gave up on Starbucks because they made me stand around and wait for my coffee while they whipped out milkshakes for everyone else. Since then I’ve been through a few places for my daily cup and DD is the best.
Just today I was admiring how well my new readers work and I was looking at the DD holiday cup, there’s a section on it to check off what’s in the cup.
What in the hell is Blue Sweetener and Pink Sweetener?
Blue: Equal
Pink: Sweet n Low
Yellow: Splenda
Thanks 🙂
That’s why you buy a shitload of stickers so you can slap em on the cups. 😀
Why don’t they just use the names as you listed, have we become so stupid that we now have to refer to brands by their marketing color?
Thanks to my health insurance premiums going up 227% since Obamacare was passed, I can no longer afford the luxury of buying coffee at Duncan Donuts or Starbucks. I’m getting my mom and dad matching lumps of coal for Christmas this year. It’s all I can afford. Bah humbug.
Because those are brands names, and some places instead use “off-brand” manufacturers who make the same product. The colors indicate the same formulation, without using the brand-name:
As far as I know, there was never an agreed-upon color convention. Those are the colors chosen by the original manufacturers, and the “off-brand” suppliers simply followed along.
I just pulled the cup from the trash. They do list Splenda under the sugar option and then they get into the colors.
I feel like Cousin Eddie at the Las Vegas buffet.
I have some of the yella, and don’t get cheap on me.
Because when people ask for sweetener and they can’t reach it they have this conversation,
“Can you hand me the Equal?”
“The what?”
The blue one.”
“Oh, here.”
Join the club!
In these sorry times, I’ll take my joy however I can get it.
I pass a Dunkin’ on the way to the train station every morning. Even though I don’t have a sweet tooth, I will buy a donut as a way of saying thanks for being joyful.
I like your new avatar, MJA.
“Nancy” was my favorite comic strip when I was little.
Maybe one of the men here can become Sluggo. I’ve never understood why a heteronormative dude like Moe Tom has Whoopi Goldberg as his avatar.

Whew, I thought it was a gender thing.
