"Nah, we aint got no ticket."

In honor of the new Dunkin Donuts ads, y'know the "Made for everyday people" ones featuring the likes of Corey Hart and Jermaine Dupree (see title of post), here's my list comparing DD and Starbucks coffee:

Coffee:
Dunkin Donuts is milder of the two, which is nice if you don't like burnt tasting coffee. But it's also too weak, sometimes tasting like dishwater. Also, 1 time out of 4, you're likely to get a cup of actual burnt coffee.
Winner: Starbucks cuz you can always add extra milk if it's too strong

Price:
Dunkin Donuts is cheaper than Starbucks, but it all goes back to you get what you pay for.
Winner: DD for your second cup of the day (if needed) but for your first, Starbucks

Location: How come cities have both on every corner, but once you hit suburbia, Starbucks' are scarce?
Winner:
DD for cornering the suburban market.

Promotions:
DD doesn't have to many in my memory. But Starbucks came out with the promotion to beat all promotions. For 31 days, the're giving out free song downloads. A new song every day. Sure they're prepicked, but there are some artists you have actaully heard of: John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, and Joss Stone. Plus you get the chance to hear new artists. They partnered with iTunes for this magnificent idea.
Winner: Starbucks

So in conclusion, Starbucks is clearly the winner. Of course, you could take my mom's advice and make your own coffee. But that would knock off 5 oh so precious minutes of sleep in the morning. So instead I choose to wait and pay someone to make my coffee. I know---the priorities of youth.

DD has actually run some awesome promotions involving Red Sox and Patriot giveaways, but the new iTunes thing is just incredible!

Starbucks is the only coffee I have ever thrown away, twice, when I bought it in an airport. Maybe airport Starbuck's are worse? And I like strong coffee....;-)
