I grew up near a Dunkin Donuts store, and I can still imagine the smell and taste of childhood. There was even a pond behind the store where we would catch tadpoles. Later, my memories of Dunkin Donuts involved dumpster diving for discarded food (my short, part-time stint as a freegan). It's been twenty-five years since I've been inside a [amazon_link id="B0013IDE4W" target="_blank" ]Dunkin Donuts[/amazon_link].
