Aha, that explains it. I don't know why I noticed but it caught
my eye, then I saw them every other block. I'm exaggerating. A
bit.

I'm not one to go out for coffee, but it is big business.

That whole centralized baking thing ruined donuts for me.
I liked the sour cream donut (which might sound gooey but it was
plain, and had a really nice crispiness) and the original Dunkin
Donut with the 'handle' ... they just don't have the same
texture anymore and they seem like they're on the wrong side
of stale.

Not a great loss, I only got them once in a while, but I do miss
those. Okay, and the chocolate filled ones, I used to like those
too.
