HEY KIDS!! Johnny Neptune here, and I'm very upset, because the Baskin-Robbins Corporation, who owns Dunkin Donuts, has announced that they are dropping the word 'Donuts', and are simply going to call their corporation DUNKIN.'''
Dunkin' is dropping the donuts — from its name, anyway.
Doughnuts are still on the menu, but the company is renaming itself "Dunkin'" to reflect its increasing emphasis on coffee and other drinks.
The change will officially take place in January, when the new name will start appearing on napkins, boxes, and signs at its U.S. stores. The name change will eventually be adopted by international stores.
Dunkin' has more than 12,500 restaurants globally.
The 68-year-old chain says its new logo will still have the familiar rounded font and orange-and-pink color scheme that the company has used since 1973.
Calling it just Dunkin, like a mom talking to a toddler… We really are living out Idiocracy

I've always found that even really bad situations have positive elements
for example, ever since my arrest, a lot of really, REALLY good things have happened for me. positive things that I would've never expected………………
like meeting the judge who dismissed the case due to a lack of evidence…… (being arrested isn't being convicted) he has paid me to paint several things for him, and now I have people from the District Attorney's Office asking me to paint murals and canvases for their houses, etc etc
and they all call me Neptune………..
once they realized that 'Johnny Neptune' has been my art pseudonym since I was 12, suddenly they 'got it', and no longer thought it was some kind of 'wacko' alias…….. in fact, they all like it……
they always smile when they say it

Do they ever come over here Johnny?

I agree !!!…..
I remember a long time ago, when I first started to notice how the dumbing down of society had manifested in the propensity of marketers and ad agencies to abbreviate everything….
like calling the Terminator movie T2 or Men In Black 'MIB', which seems almost tame and acceptable compared to the way syntax has devolved these days…. now it's so niggerish to shorten everything, or use idiotic slang
if I was in one of the focus groups, I would've definitely told them that I DON'T LIKE THE NAME 'DUNKIN'
it's stupid it doesn't flow it sucks it's primal
it reminds me of Pizza Hut's plan on changing their name to simply 'THE HUT'.
stupid

that's actually an excellent, amazingly marketable name, and I'm inclined to tell you you should instantly file a trademark on that word….
dead serious
if you owned a trademark on that word, I'm convinced you would end up becoming very wealthy by selling it to them
a long long long long time ago, way before the 'fancy coffee fad', when I was a kid I actually came up with the word McCappuccino
I made it up as a joke, where I was ridiculing McDonald's, and joking with my brother how shitty a cup of 'McCappuccino' would be…..
decades later, my brother and I laughed about the 'specialty coffee' thing at McDonald's

Think we can convince Starbucks to just call itself 'BUCKS'? That'd be worth it just for the kek's.
