I like the buttermilk donuts. At some Dunkin Donuts in the state, you could get a dozen donuts for $1.99 after 6:30 pm.

That's what I like about this: At least the corporate sponsor for this festival (and there's been one since at least the mid-'80s, folks) is a business that people actually know and patronize, rather than some Web site that goes out of business a year later.
i have never, EVER seen a hot babe working at a dunkin donuts -- strng hlkngtn (urba...), July 12th, 2005.
The most attractive woman I've ever seen working at a Dunkin Donuts lost me when I asked for "a small cup of the decaffeinated" and she stared at me blankly and made me repeat it twice and finally the dawn broke and she said "OH! You mean decaf!" Sigh.

FYI Dunkin' Donuts has indeed taken over Rhode Island; the civic center in Providence was re-named the Dunkin' Donuts Center a few years back.
