Une perte du temps?

hum, I just spent two hours reading about Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I guess I should just be glad I don't have these kinds of thoughts piped into my head daily, which I would happen if I were working in an office.

I like that the subject of the new Dunkin Donuts commercial is language. But they take the wrong side, and validate the common idiotic American sentiment that they don't like other languages. Boo!

Then again I did just go to the Dunkin Donuts website and enter their contest for free coffee for a year. In a way their advertising "worked" on me because now I have spent all this time thinking (albeit negatively) about DD. If I win I will give most of it away to friends (or turn it in for store credit at Dunkin Donuts) because I like Starbucks ground coffee.

Apparently in the movie You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks has a line about making six decisions just to get a cup of coffee. Tall skim decaf latte. That's four. No whip. That's five... I guess the last is foam. I still kind of like the slogan "America Runs on Dunkin" ...Starbucks doesn't have a slogan. DD are kind of the underdog, because Starbucks just RAKES it in. Anyway now I don't know what to do. I think I will have to just drink plain hot water for awhile, which is an Asian habit. No calories, no teeth stains, and practically free.
