She's too Hot to pay for the hot coffee?

Have you ever been the recipient of a "Pay It Forward" situation at a drive through or inside a Starbucks coffee shop? I personally can't recall being in one myself, but if it does happen to me, I would most likely keep the train moving and do the same for the next in line behind me. Of course, I would secretly hope that person is just a little thirsty and not too hungry and throw in a sandwich or two.

This Tik Tok video has gone viral because the women who posted thinks she's too hot to pay it forward and also thinks the kind gesture should be appreciated without the unnecessary guilt of having to pay for the next person because in her words, "it defeats the purpose of someone doing something nice for me to have to pay it forward" after all, she says she's "a hot girl".

Let's face it, saying you're too hot to pay it forward kind of misses the whole point of the idea, you know a simple nice gesture to make a stranger's morning just a little more pleasant, she seems a bit unpleasant.

Our Favorite Dunkin DONUTS

I always wondered: what are OUR favorite Dunkin Donuts? There MUST be a poll somewhere asking America what is #1. After I all, I heard that America runs on Dunkin.

The First Dunkin

The First Dunkin' Donuts Restaurant is Still in Operation: When founder William Rosenberg opened his first coffee and donut shop in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1948, it was originally named Open Kettle and served coffee, pastries and sandwiches. 

WOW! It started in our own backyard. Maybe that's why

we love Dunkin so much.

Why Is There A Hole?

It starts with the way they were cooked. From htn.com:

There are a couple of common theories about the origin of the doughnut’s hole. One of the most popular credits American seafarer Hanson Gregory with inventing the donut’s hole in 1847 while aboard a lime-trading ship. He was just 16 years old at the time.

As the story goes, Gregory wasn’t happy with the doughy consistency of the fried cakes served on the ship. Although the outsides and the edges were crisp, the centres of the donuts were always greasy and doughy.

Gregory suggested punching a hole in the middle of the fried cakes, so that the insides of the cakes would cook as evenly as the outsides. Experts believe that this reason makes sense, because of the way that doughnuts are cooked.

When dough is placed in a fryer, the outsides and edges will cook quickly, because they’re exposed to the hot oil. To fully cook the insides of the dough, the dough would have to stay in the oil for a longer time, which would lead to the outsides becoming burnt.

Punching a hole in the middle of the dough, however, allows the insides and the outsides to cook evenly, creating a perfect doughnut. There may be another reason for the holes in doughnuts though.

Doughnuts became popular in America around the same time bagels were becoming popular. Bakers and street vendors would often sell bagels stacked on long sticks or strung on a long rope. Some people believe that the holes in doughnuts allowed them to be sold in a similar way. 

Dunkin Radio

By the way, the next you're in a Dunkin, listen for me, Jaybeau. I'm the news guy, reading the news coming over the speakers in about 5000 Dunkin locations across America.  No, I don't get paid in donuts.

So, now that I am craving these magical fried circles of wonder, let's share our favorite Dunkin DONUTS, according to Mashup.com!

Sugared

Looks yummy to me

Toasted Coconut

This, obviously is not a picture of the toasted coconut. It must not be that popular, because I could not find a picture.

Powdered Sugar

Anything powdered sugar should be higher on the list to me. Part of the fun of these is getting the powder off my black car seats.

Cupid's Choice

Bypasses the heart, right to the waist.  But, life is short.

Brownie Batter

Behind the scenes

Bavarian Kreme

My heart felt thanks to the fine people of Bavaria. This is second choice if they are out of Boston Kreme.

Boston Kreme

Should be NUMBER 1!!!

Apple Fritter
