Dunkin's 16 Doughnuts: Blueberry Disaster to Chocolate Savior

In an epic Queens quest, Ted Berg ranked 16 Dunkin' doughnuts from 'Why?' to 'Yum!' Founders dropped 'Donuts' in 2019 but still churn up sugary suspects at 14,000+ worldwide locations, under Arby’s-owning Inspire Brands. His least favorite was the glazed blueberry doughnut, tasting like budget Hostess mini muffins with an aftertaste to haunt nightmares. Apple-crumb? Overloaded on vanilla icing, apple pie nostalgia gone wrong. Vanilla-creme doughnut was a powdered Twinkie imposter, while the strawberry frosted sprinkles lost clout with a 4-year-old taste-test panel. Surprisingly, coconut doughnut rose from office stale status to mildly interesting, and the chocolate-frosted sprinkle doughnut—the unexpected hero—actually had cocoa and wasn’t a sugar bomb disaster. S’mores doughnut tried too hard; graham cracker crumbs barely registered. So, if you were hoping for a doughnut enlightenment, prepare for a sugar-induced identity crisis.
