America runs on Dunkin'. Even though it's their catch phrase, it's honestly true. Everyone loves Dunkin' because of their great flavors and varieties.

Every morning during school, I would see at least 10 students with Dunkin' cups on my way to first period. Who even goes to Honey Dew anymore?

Sometimes businesses have a slow day or a dry spell, but every morning my bus drives down Pleasant Street, where Honey Dew and Dunkin' are right across the street from each other, and no one is ever in Honey Dew.

Dunkin' is so popular that the customers line up in the drive thru and block traffic. On County Street, there is a sign that says if any drivers create more traffic, they will be fined, but people still line up and cause a traffic jam, so they can have their cup of Joe.

Dunkin' is great because they try many new things; they're always adding new items to the menu. They recently added the new toasted breakfast and, a few months ago, they added pizza. They always keep the menu fresh. What's more, Dunkin' has started toasting everything. Let me tell you, it is delicious. What isn't to love about mouth-watering bacon, cheese, ham, and toasted wraps? Right there are three of your five food groups.

They also have the new oven-toasted breakfast, which is excellent. The breakfast consists of hot coffee and a breakfast sandwich with the new hash browns, which are an explosion of great flavor in your mouth.

All Dunkin' locations serve low fat and low calorie items. They have light cream cheese, coffee with light cream and light lattes. They serve these items so people who are watching their weight can still enjoy the rich flavors that Dunkin' offers.

I work at Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is a 30-second walk from both Dunkin' and Honey Dew. When I go on my 10-minute break, people always ask me to "run to Dunkin." Never have I been asked to run to Honey Dew.

There are lots of menu items at Dunkin' that attract the usual customers and some just looking for good flavor. Everyone loves the Coolattas, especially since they can be made in any flavor of coffee. The berry and lemonade flavors are also popular in the summer.

Dunkin' has air-sealed, fresh ground coffee for sale, which is also available at places like BJ's. The coffee is so scrumptious that people buy it in bulk.

In the Attleboro area alone, there are a remarkable 11 Dunkin' locations. Why on earth would there be so many Dunkin's if no one liked them? Obviously people love Dunkin'.

"Dunkin' Donuts serves nearly 1 billion cups of brewed coffee every year or approximately 2.7 million cups a day," according to Dunkin' online, www.dunkindonuts.com.

Dunkin' is an American classic that serves up millions of cups of coffee every day to satisfied and loyal customers. America really does run on Dunkin'.
