Here is an email conversation that The Dude and I had yesterday. I thought I should post this as a public service announcement. We don't have many readers, but if we can save JUST ONE PERSON. (Also, I should mention that I am wild about pumpkin flavoring in general, so my hatred of this beverage was especially unexpected.)
Herself:
I'm working late tonight so I couldn't skip my afternoon iced coffee. I
was feeling adventurous and decided to order a Spiced Pumpkin rather
than the usual French Vanilla. Got back to the office, took a sip, and
felt like I was being punched in the face with pumpkin. . . and spices.
Definitely not as subtle as other Dunkin' Donuts flavored coffees. Looked up
the nutritional information and it is a nightmare. The usual medium
iced coffee with skim milk and Splenda has 40 calories. This
abomination has 205. There is a full D&D cup in the trash and there
are tears running down my face. (Okay, not really on the tears, but I
still think this is a tragic situation.)
The Dude:
I had their spiced pumpkin
recently and it sucks. Should have told you/updated you. Didn't
realize the nutritional info was so heinous. I should just down a
20 ounce Mountain Dew for that amount.
