Donut Day

Ohlord Published 06/02/2022 in wow

June 3 is Donut Day so here's a look at the history of Dunkin Donuts because it started out to be a DONUT shop not a coffee shop

1.
This is Dunkie, the Dunking dude of the '50s. He was their mascot and a beloved donut head. The rolls of leg and arm fat really quite appropriate
2.
And this is why it as called DUNKIN
3.
There were 52 varieties, all delicious and made fresh every day rather than packaged from a factory and nuked on high
4.
This was the branding from the time they were opened through the '60s
5.
That's right kids, you could take home a giant munchkin doll to haunt your christmas dreams.
6.
A bucket of munchkins
7.
Do we even want to touch on how weird this was? Move over Mr. Potato head, Hasbro created this to go with the beloved Dunkin mascot of the '60s

Dunkie and the brown/yellow look of the 50s and 60s

12.
In the mid 70s, Dunkin Donuts overhauled their old fashioned yellow/brown to create a new vibe
13.
The purple/pink vibe carried it through the late 80s/90s
14.
15.
Instead of just donuts, it rolled out a few other menu items
16.
Poor Dunkie was replaced with Fred
17.
18.
Easter Egg donuts of the '80s

In the '80s, Dunkin took a page from Dominos Pizza and started hosting fieldtrips
20.
21.
The 80s had a plethora of Dunkin roll outs
