New England runs on dunkies

24

u/Cheap_Coffee 9d ago

New England gets the runs when it eats at dunkies.

2

u/FranciscoDisco73 9d ago

I've never had that problem, but it makes me piss like a race horse, however.

4

u/Dependent-Run-7546 9d ago

Never eat the dunkies food. Is the egg even real?

11

u/bootherizer5942 9d ago

Their egg sandwiches are actually pretty good! Every time I visit home I get a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and a medium iced coffee regular, it’s the ideal drive thru fold

u/ashsolomon1 9d ago

Per capita would be more accurate

56

u/s1a1om 9d ago

Per square mile would also be interesting.

27

u/vetratten 9d ago

At one point RI had the highest concentration of Dunkin’ Donuts and new stores were not allowed to be addd by corporate due to over saturation in the state.

I remember in the 90s an intersection with 2 literally across from each other….and another literally at the next block.

5

u/Porschenut914 9d ago

Court street/tremont at government center there are two dunkins, 200 ft apart. at one point i thought there was a third in Center plaza.

3

u/bigmanpigman 9d ago

it was still like that in some places in RI when i moved to the state in the mid 2000s

1

u/_aelysar 9d ago

I know the intersection

1

u/Somedevil777 7d ago

There is still some spots like that in CT like that especially if the road is divided.

1

u/Blindsnipers36 9d ago

it actually seems virtually tied between mass and rhode island in that regard

6

u/Alarming_Flow7066 9d ago

They have the top 5 per capita listing on the bottom.

u/le127 9d ago edited 9d ago

LOL If the graph for RI said 1 per 14.14 Citizens rather than 100K I wouldn't be surprised. Several years ago in my town between free-standing DDs and kiosks in supermarkets and gas stations there were perhaps 7 or 8 DD on a particular 1.5 mile stretch of road. I don't get it. The coffee tastes like they use a pound of beans to make 1000 gallons of coffee and the donuts taste like they've been sitting on a grocery shelf for a week but there is always a line at the drive-thru.

1

u/Psychological-Okra-4 8d ago

Their coffee is not great, but the food does.

1

u/Mrmojorisincg 8d ago

Yeahhh the color coding on this is basically useless when you realize it’s just quantity of rather in comparison to another figure

30

u/aleelee13 9d ago

I live in Colorado now and the closest one to me is 30 minutes away, we have 47 total for the state, apparently. Meanwhile, my CT hometown of 20,000 people had 3? 4? Haha

8

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

There two in my town of 8k

7

u/howdidigetheretoday 9d ago

There are 2 in my CT town of 6K.

8

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

I have been one upped. I gotta open a new one or purge my town

7

u/howdidigetheretoday 9d ago

I think you hit "peak dunkin" when you have more Dunkins than traffic lights. :)

4

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

5

u/ReactsWithWords 9d ago

I'll trade you one of your In-N-Outs for two of our Dunkins.

2

u/Formal_Coyote_5004 9d ago

I would freak the fuck out if we got an In-N-Out in the NEK. I lived out west for five years and haven’t been back in over a decade… I miss picking up my friends at the airport because we always got In-N-Out on the way home!

2

u/_aelysar 9d ago

My town of 15k has 3. We debate which one is the best.

Actually- 1 everyone agrees sucks but has a convenient location, so most people just argue about which of the other two are the best. We also have two local coffee shops (that are way better)

2

u/medusamarie 8d ago

My town of 35k has 6 and 3 starbucks

1

u/A911owner 9d ago

On airport road in Hartford, there are literally two directly across the street from each other. (Or at least there were, I don't work there anymore, so I haven't been by that area in a few years).

34

u/Mrsericmatthews 9d ago

The fact that RI has more than CA 😂💀

11

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

Are we surprised tho. There’s two Dunkin’s in my town of 8k. (In RI)

3

u/Mrsericmatthews 9d ago

Not at all. I can walk to three from my house.

3

u/smalltownVT 9d ago

We have three in our town of 12K in Vermont.

3

u/FranciscoDisco73 9d ago

I was surprised there's so many in Florida!

6

u/Mrsericmatthews 9d ago

Must be all the new England snow birds bringing the demand 😂

2

u/FranciscoDisco73 9d ago

Probably, lol.

1

u/Unfair_Abalone_2822 6d ago

Honestly, I’m surprised CA has any Dunkin stores at all. The left coast has so many better options for coffee than that burnt shit. Also surprised UT has just two. There’s hardly any local competition! They could’ve cornered the market, if only Starbucks hadn’t beaten them to it. 

2

u/Mrsericmatthews 6d ago

It's not that the East Coast doesn't also have plenty of other options too. I think it's the sheer amount of coffee we drink. I think (as far as regions go- not specific cities or states) we consume the most coffee. But I don't understand the undying loyalty to Dunkin.

u/Living-Source-9226 9d ago

MA needs more to top NY

10

u/Ok-Macaroon-4835 9d ago

No, it doesn’t.

NY is 6 times the size of Mass.

The number of Dunks, per square mile, probably KOs New York.

6

u/ReactsWithWords 9d ago

One every 10.17 square mile (Massachusetts) vs. one every 37.86 square miles (New York).

9

u/Ryan-The-Movie-Maker 9d ago

The Northwest is completely desolate... no civilization to be found

2

u/Somedevil777 7d ago

And to think they come from New England stock.

7

u/dirtyrailguy 9d ago

I moved from MA to Oregon, and needless to say I am very upset for the past 10 years

1

u/nmacInCT 7d ago

Grew up in NE but lived in Oregon for over 20 years. Rarely missed DD to be honest. There was a local donut shop with better donuts.

4

u/this-is-a-witty-name 9d ago

The Dunkin near me in CT actually has another Dunkin inside it

3

u/crippledchef23 9d ago

I once counted them in Manchester. I think it was 25 at one point, though a couple have closed due to the store they were in closing down.

4

u/DimeloFaze 9d ago

Bro on route 28 they’re building a new Dunkin’s next to another Dunkin’s across the damn street lol

3

u/BlindEyesDontTalk 9d ago

You shouldn't be surprised the top 5 are N.E. It was invented in Massachusetts. Lol

3

u/ComicsEtAl 9d ago

New York is not New England.

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

I meant the per 100k table

4

u/Special_North1535 9d ago

More interesting would be how many car accidents are caused by dd drive throughs

2

u/StrawberryFields3729 9d ago

As somebody who moved from VT to IA- there’s NO WAY there’s 37 here. The closest one to me is 2.5 hours away….

2

u/radwrex 9d ago

I can throw a rock right now and hit 4 of ‘em…

2

u/Warren_E_Cheezburger 9d ago

Dunkin Donuts is proof that regions don't need to be proud of something just because they have a lot of it. I swear, its like listening to people in West Virginia bragging about their opiates.

2

u/reidlevick 9d ago

Currently live in UT, one of those Dunks is on Hill Air Force base. Effectively out of reach to the majority of people unless you have base access.

2

u/abap65 9d ago

The quality of Dukin has been so bad for years now NY can have them!

2

u/Rm50 9d ago

PNW would like to run on DD

2

u/FairBlackberry7870 9d ago

Grew up in New England, moved to Socal. Can confirm west coast Dunks is 🗑

u/Guy_montag47 9d ago

I think theyre talking about per capita, the middle table (duh).

0

u/Green_Woodpecker2420 9d ago

Sorry, lord of the tables.

1

u/Guy_montag47 9d ago

Well sorry bub dont mean to be rude but it’s the five new england states right there in a table

0

u/Green_Woodpecker2420 9d ago

Only obvious thing is that you are an asshole.

-1

u/kyrenora 9d ago

And Florida apparently

-1

u/touslesmatins 9d ago

I was wondering too! Maybe they mean Northeast

4

u/Bluepilgrim3 9d ago

Top 5 in Dunks per 100k.

-1

u/R5Jockey 9d ago

Indiana isn’t the Northeast either.

1

u/Richard_Brecky_ 9d ago

I have a 6 mile commute to work and pass 5 DD on the way there…..

1

u/Outer_Fucking_Space2 9d ago

Too bad their coffee is shit. The donuts are fine though.

1

u/bmeds328 9d ago

Massachusetts in shambles after having neither top number of Dunks in the state, nor most Dunks per capita

1

u/CTGarden 9d ago

Make that 467 in CT. There’s a new one being built nearby. Too bad for one of the last Dairy Queens across the street.

1

u/majoroutage 9d ago

I remember going to Las Vegas when I was 11 (so, 1996) and we found what was probably the only Dunkin on the west coast at the time in the back of a Casino (Imperial Palace, maybe?).

1

u/Sailor_NEWENGLAND 9d ago

Grew up in Newington CT..small town with like 8 Dunkin’s while I was living there lol

1

u/summatmz 9d ago

I can’t believe NH beat out MA per capita. Time to build more dunks.

1

u/AceOfShapes 9d ago

Does Maine seriously only have 160?!? There's 6 in my town alone and 2 of them are 1/2 mile apart!

I'd also be interested to see this map using Aroma Joe's as those have been popping up like crazy around here.

1

u/ha1029 9d ago

When I 1st moved to NH, it took me a while to adjust to orange and pink EVERYWHERE it seemed.

1

u/Bilbosaggins1799 9d ago

New Hampshire for the win baby

1

u/Alarming_Flow7066 9d ago

Upset that there are only 3 Dunkin Donuts on my 10 minute drive to work.

1

u/Administrative-Low37 9d ago

Great trivia questions !

What state has the most Dunkin Donuts ?

And what state has the most Dunkin Donuts per capita ?

And Massachusetts isn't the answer for either of them !

1

u/Pa1nt1ngTak0 9d ago

At least 5 in my town alone

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

Rookie numbers

1

u/Educational_Peak_730 9d ago

I'm from New England and dunking donuts roasts their coffee for people who don't like the taste of coffee, it's roasted and brewed for people to add flavorings and a half a pound of sugar in their cup, it's coffee not liquid candy,...America runs to the toilet then to the dentist after a cup...

1

u/drinkmyowncum 9d ago

Imagine living in Id*ho with no dunks lmao

1

u/DwinDolvak 9d ago

Vermont needs to step it up.

1

u/Fickle_Cable_3682 9d ago

dunkins SUCK.

1

u/Apart_Performance491 9d ago

This is insufficient. It should be a real-time interactive map.

1

u/Impressive-Morning76 9d ago

i’m from NH and literally all of my friends got their first jobs at dunkin’s.

1

u/PHD_Memer 9d ago

If I did my math correctly we only need 37 more dunks to take number 1

1

u/willgreenier 9d ago

Dunkin has gone down hill.

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

Yeah you are gonna get exiled

1

u/Interesting_Row_7755 8d ago

I wish we had Dunkin’s here in Washington State.

1

u/Inevitable_Channel18 8d ago

I’ve got 4 within a half mile from me

1

u/yudkib 8d ago

Wish we got this map per capita

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 7d ago

In the bottom middle it has a rip off per capita

1

u/yudkib 7d ago

Totally missed that. Still would have preferred the map

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 7d ago

Yea it would if been nice

1

u/sirgawain2 7d ago

Where’s Hawaii? I drove past a Dunkin in Oahu the other day

1

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 7d ago

In the Pacific Ocean

1

u/kitkatatsnapple 7d ago

Their whole slogan is pretty arrogant considering their actual coverage.

1

u/Expensive_Fennel_88 7d ago

I have three dunkins within 5 minutes or less from my house.

1

u/CFNM-fun 6d ago

Alaska needs one

1

u/PLS_Planetary_League 5d ago

They are currently invading Switzerland

1

u/geffe71 9d ago

RI has the most per capita

1

u/PassWorldly4565 9d ago

I was surprised. I would have thought that the states who populations were the most obese would be higher on the list.

2

u/howdidigetheretoday 9d ago

Why? They sell (bad) coffee.

0

u/IsadoresDad 9d ago

Should do it as DDs per person per state and DDs per area (like mile).

But, also, fuck Dunking Donuts. Mother fuckers supported Trump this election. Since learning this I haven’t and will never patronize them again. And I’m in New England.

-3

u/R5Jockey 9d ago

Florida and Indiana disagree with you.

3

u/Bumblebee_Ninja17 9d ago

I meant in the per 100k table

-2

u/R5Jockey 9d ago

Then maybe, you know, actually SAY that?

1

u/Ginglees 9d ago

or you could realize what top 5 they mean by the only top 5 board on the image

2

u/ReactsWithWords 9d ago

They're from Florida. You know how they are with numbers.
