Strange choice of players. Sid over Doc? Clearly, they've based their selection on things that have happened well after 1986.

I don't care. I'm getting them all.

I know I might make a lot of enemies by saying this. . . But DD's coffee is absolutely disgusting. I haven't had a good cup of coffee from DD in 5+ years. Why everyone loves them so much, I have no idea. Not worth going in there for the quarters, if you ask me.

Elster88 Jun 23 2006 09:08 AM

I don't drink coffee. I'll get a donut or something.

MMYF got me the Lenny Dykstra nickel and patch. Later

(obviously I didn't piss of Elster, so I will do my best here) Their donuts are worse than their coffee. DD muffins are the only things that they sell that don't make me want to punch donkies.

DD iced coffee is ok. I'm a fan of the old fashioned Dunkin' Donuts with the little handles.

No Ron Darling quarter? <sniff>

FWIW, DD now also offers travel mugs in limited-edition Mets and Yankees varieties for $3.99 each. I agree on the odd choice of players; nothing against Sid, who's probably one of my Top 5 Mets Ever (at least Top 10), but there are other guys who should be there.

Dunkin' Donuts coffee does blow chunks. Starbucks is better by far. I have an espresso machine and I usually buy my beans at Oren's in Grand Central (I recommend the 'Beowulf Blend'). In a pinch I'll grab a bag of Italian dark roast beans from Starbucks. One time I had no beanage and was flipping out. There's a Dunkin' right up the street from me so I ran there and grabbed a bag o' beans. Dis-gust-ing. And if their coffee wasn't so bad, Krispy Kreme's got it all over them on the donut side. Are they selling the Mets New York quarters in Connecticut and are they actually legal tender?

I enjoy a Dunkin Donut. The name Krispy Kreme turns me off, and not only because of the awful spelling. Cream isn't supposed to be crispy. If it is, something's dreadfully wrong.

I dan't care for DD coffee either and I used to hate when they would ask if you wanted sugar and then put way to many spoons in....hated it.

Yancy Street Gang Jun 23 2006 11:07 AM

I don't need more donuts in my life. If they're that good, I'm better off not eating them.

Elster88 Jun 23 2006 11:08 AM

Some ball parks make a bacon-cheeseburger made with two Krispy Kremes replacing the buns. I haven't tried one yet. Which you can tell because I'm still alive.

You misspelled "delicious".

It's been a long while since we had a thread about doughnuts.

This is me, one year and eight days ago: Yancy Street Gang wrote: The name "Krispy Kreme" turns me off. I hate the bizarre spelling. And I don't think that cream is supposed to be crispy. If it is, there's something terribly wrong. And this is me today: Yancy Street Gang wrote: I enjoy a Dunkin Donut. The name Krispy Kreme turns me off, and not only because of the awful spelling. Cream isn't supposed to be crispy. If it is, something's dreadfully wrong. Am I a broken record, or what?

metirish Jun 23 2006 11:25 AM

Hah, back then I was a DD man.....only the doughnuts though.

Yancy Street Gang Jun 23 2006 11:27 AM

Tune in in June, 2007 when I relate how I hate the spelling of Krispy Kreme, and the image it evokes for me! You won't want to miss it!
