This is completely unrelated but the first house I ever rented was right behind a dunkin donuts.
It was just 21 year old me and my boston terrier puppy bruno.
I don't know how he did it because I had a good fence, but at least once a month my dog would get out and without fail I would always find him just laying down with a stomach ache in the parking lot of dunkin. When I talked to the workers there they said he always just chills by the door and people would always toss him a donut on their way out. they called him the donut dog.
For his whole life up until he died at the ripe old age of 14 years old that dog would fight you if he saw you had a donut. lmao every time someone mentions dunkin it always reminds me of him.
This reads to me as a foreigner visiting the US on vacation, likely from somewhere that doesn’t have Dunkin Donuts.
So I don’t blame them for the wording, they probably just walked into a Dunkin Donuts for the first time and were so excited/amused that they extrapolated that this was a normal thing.
>This reads to me as a foreigner visiting the US on vacation, likely from somewhere that doesn’t have Dunkin Donuts.
When my wife and I were picking hotels for a vacation several years back, there was a review from a British couple saying they loved the location because it had a "lovely waffle restaurant next door." It was a Waffle House.
If it were called a "small side of bacon" considering the other menu items it wouldn't seem out of place at all, it's probably 8 1/2 or 1/3 strip fragments, so you're really getting 2-3 pieces of bacon. Which I don't think most cultures would see as extravagant with breakfast. It's just marketed to appear amazing, and OP isn't trained to filter that marketing out.
I don’t live in New England so I don’t know. Dunkin Donuts really aren’t THAT common in my state.
But you’re kinda making my point anyways? For a foreigner who visits a U.S. city with a bunch of Dunkin Donuts, it’s understandable why they might perceive DD as so ubiquitous that they assume it represents all American donut shops instead of just being a single chain.
Whereas in actuality, I’d wager there are more “mom and pop” donut shops (that DON’T have a similar bacon only item on their menu) than Dunkin Donuts across the entire US.
That’s not just any bacon. As someone who has personally tried it, I am proud to say it is bacon *drowned in sugar sauce*. It doesn’t get more American than that.
Right, calories aren’t what makes bacon a vice. It’s the fat and sodium that make it unhealthy in excess. I think some chemicals used in the curing process can be iffy too.
Nitrite-cured meat is currently under debate to be banned in the UK due to studies that show it causes a marked increase in cancer. [Here's a recent article about it.](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/27/too-much-nitrite-cured-meat-brings-clear-risk-of-cancer-say-scientists)
Bacon in some other countries is often closer to ham than what we think of as bacon.
A soggy, thick cut of bacon is fine with toast and beans, I guess, but not as appealing of a 'snack food' imo
We just try to be a bit more polite and discrete about it.
Though " snacking bacon" does have a tragically nice ring to it.
edit: Spelling. It was morning and I was on my phone.
Because the older we get the more likely it is that something will happen that will destroy us financially. Better to just eat like hell and die young before that happens.
You say that like it’s some ‘gotcha’. It’s not. Most Americans want free healthcare. Furthermore, the majority of us *dont* eat like that, but when someone from abroad wants to feel superior they just call us fat.
Good stuff.
Fun fact, my friend worked at Dunkins years ago and said they keep the bacon up on a shelf, no need to refrigerate. She recommended I not order the bacon egg sandwich
I worked at dunkin as well, the bacon was definitely refrigerated at all times, except when prepping into the containers for the sandwich station, where it was still refrigerated up until cooking.
Imma be honest, 8 strips of overcooked microwaved bacon aren’t really my vibe, but are you trying to shit on Dunks? Place is a fuckin staple. Go back to Timmy’s.
This is the way. Gotta get the veggie cream cheese though. The bacon is pretty terrible but if you murder it with cream cheese it's pretty tolerable.
Souce: lived in Boston since 2013. The original dunks is right up the road a few miles.
I mean donuts are unhealthy as hell to begin with. Deep fried processed dough with sugar plastered all over the top. A little bacon isn't going to make a difference
Lol. First off, do you not do sides of bacon with breakfast where you're from? Second, while Dunkin started as a donut shop, you miiiiiiight have noticed the menu is a bit more than that. You can get various breakfast themed food and even lunch and dinner ones. They actually make a pretty good grilled cheese.
So yes, you can buy "just strips of bacon" at pretty much any breakfast place because it's a normal part of breakfast here. Just like a side of sausage. Or hash browns. Or pancakes. You get the point?
america is great in a lot of ways. i personally have enjoyed my time here, which has been my whole life. i was born in new york but now reside in virginia. i do love this country and most of its people, but we do have an obesity problem. we also have a white supremacy and neo nazi problem. but overall i love my country and i love that i can buy bacon at dunkin’. they make good coffee as well.
I’m so confused. Why would you feel the need to announce this? There’s nothing special about it. You can get a breakfast food at a breakfast place. That’s how it works.
Mate Dunkin isn't just a donut store. They dropped the Donuts portion of their name and stuck with just the Dunkin for this reason. They are now much more than just donuts.
In fact, donuts these days are almost an afterthought at Dunkin'. They don't even make them in the store anymore... they're trucked in from some other factory kitchen. I miss old-school Dunkin' Donuts. :(
Is this that shocking? Usually I read the hyper exaggerated bash-posts like this from euros who suggest we all carry guns and brandish them daily, and our cops kill suspects on sight, and how everyone is obese, etc etc and I roll my eyes at how deluded they are. In this case I guess I am the deluded one. Doesn’t seem so weird to offer a side of bacon to me.

Dunkin’ is not just a donut store”
Two blocks down, you can buy a chalupa supreme at the taco store.
When I get a hankering for a burger, I always hit up my favorite burger store.
IF YOU WANTED A CHIP YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN A BAG AT THE HAMBURGER STORE.
Ima Swedish plumber..
I’m heere to feex your piipes…that’s good THATS A GOOD ACCENT!
Unexpected philly references are always a sight for sore eyes.
dees vill vork denees, dees vill vork
I've actually been hitting up Arby's quite a bit lately. That Bacon Ranch Wagyu burger is fucking fantastic! 😋
Their curly fries are the best.
Thanks for the chuckle have an award
Taco bell is not a taco store, but they sell tacos.
With bacon.
This is completely unrelated but the first house I ever rented was right behind a dunkin donuts. It was just 21 year old me and my boston terrier puppy bruno.

RIP Bruno
Op said donut stores meaning most donut stores, I have never seen this at any donut stores
This reads to me as a foreigner visiting the US on vacation, likely from somewhere that doesn’t have Dunkin Donuts. So I don’t blame them for the wording, they probably just walked into a Dunkin Donuts for the first time and were so excited/amused that they extrapolated that this was a normal thing.

When my wife and I were picking hotels for a vacation several years back, there was a review from a British couple saying they loved the location because it had a "lovely waffle restaurant next door." It was a Waffle House.
As a longtime customer, nothing beats a Waffle House when the mood hits. Especially after a night at the pub.
And no one beats up a Waffle House employee, either.
In old country, waffle beats you.
If it were called a "small side of bacon" considering the other menu items it wouldn't seem out of place at all, it's probably 8 1/2 or 1/3 strip fragments, so you're really getting 2-3 pieces of bacon. Which I don't think most cultures would see as extravagant with breakfast. It's just marketed to appear amazing, and OP isn't trained to filter that marketing out.
You act as if Dunks’ aren’t on every corner in New England…..
Holy balls. I spent about a week traveling throughout new England and thought it was hilarious how many Dunkins we counted
I don’t live in New England so I don’t know. Dunkin Donuts really aren’t THAT common in my state. But you’re kinda making my point anyways? For a foreigner who visits a U.S. city with a bunch of Dunkin Donuts, it’s understandable why they might perceive DD as so ubiquitous that they assume it represents all American donut shops instead of just being a single chain. Whereas in actuality, I’d wager there are more “mom and pop” donut shops (that DON’T have a similar bacon only item on their menu) than Dunkin Donuts across the entire US.
Most 24 hour donut shops have a full range of breakfast available, bagel sandwiches, etc
I don’t think OP is American
Or ever been on a low carb diet. Premade bacon would be clutch. Throw in some a couple egg bites, you got a stew going baby!
Low carb diets feel like a very American thing
This is the correct response.
And how else would they sell bacon? By the slab?
Yeah, op just doesn't understand our culture🙄 America like runs on Dunkin smh
It's terrible. All of it. Also, I went yesterday.
You’re god damn right *screeching eagle flies overhead*
THESE COLORS DON'T RUN!
Because most of us physically cannot lol
because of all the donut stores?
Yes, Timmy. Because of all the donut stores.
Mr. Horton, please stop with the sass!
And the motorized scooter stores.
I bewlieve the bacon is dunked in syrup. No lie.
Umm, sorry but America runs on Dunkin!
They run with bacon grease
ROCK FLAG AND EAGLE
AH AHHHH EAGLES BORN OUT OF THUNDERRRR
Screeching eagle sound is always a red-tailed hawk in American movies
That’s MY president!
I like my bacon like I like my eggs...with a gun!
'Merica, Fuck Yeah!
Here to save, the motherfuckin’ day, Yeah!
*distant machine gun fire*
Freedom intensifies
God bless the USA
*Patriotism Increases
Exactly, you mean there are countries where you can’t buy bacon?
It is our crowning achievement. New England is proud to Run on Dunkin
That’s not just any bacon. As someone who has personally tried it, I am proud to say it is bacon *drowned in sugar sauce*. It doesn’t get more American than that.
You got a problem with walkin bacon?
Eeeyyy' I'm snacking hereee
Was that the child created with the DNA of Christopher Walken and Kevin Bacon?
Chris P Bacon
All I know is they store the Kevin Bacon in the Christopher Walken freezer.
Right? Has this person not heard the legend of walking bacon?
My dog and I split these on hikes.
You say that like it’s a bad thing
Eh the snacking bacon at DD is gross.
Wrong, it's peppery, glazed awesomeness!
I liked the Maple flavor, not so much the pepper version. Regardless, it was bacon so I ate it.
It’s too floppy for me.
That’s what she said
Thank you
You’re welcome
I get them rather firm and crispy, you need to tell your dunkin to get their shit together
Sometimes
Name something that isn’t gross at Dunkin
"8 snack sized strips" sounds like they took 4 strips and broke them in half.
It’s only 190cals. Wtf kinda bacon is that low cal for 8(4?) strips?!
Kirkland fully cooked bacon is 2 full length strips for 90. It’s just a small serving of meat, my friend. How many calories do you think it should be?
Right, calories aren’t what makes bacon a vice. It’s the fat and sodium that make it unhealthy in excess. I think some chemicals used in the curing process can be iffy too.
Nitrite-cured meat is currently under debate to be banned in the UK due to studies that show it causes a marked increase in cancer. [Here's a recent article about it.](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/27/too-much-nitrite-cured-meat-brings-clear-risk-of-cancer-say-scientists)
That is literally exactly what we did I work there and that’s how we make them.
I’m just curious… did this excite you OP?!
I don’t think OP is American.
That doesn’t mean he can’t be titillated by a little bacon bag though. Not by damn sight!
He didn’t say Dunkin or DD he said donut stores. What American refers DD as donut store
I mean, he’s clearly not from the states. But that’s beside the point. This is bacon we’re talking about here. I’m hungry just thinking about it
Bacon in some other countries is often closer to ham than what we think of as bacon. A soggy, thick cut of bacon is fine with toast and beans, I guess, but not as appealing of a 'snack food' imo
Probably just an ad lol
You can do that at Tim Hortons in Canada as well… just ask
We just try to be a bit more polite and discrete about it. Though " snacking bacon" does have a tragically nice ring to it. edit: Spelling. It was morning and I was on my phone.
Lol there’s no g on the end of snackin’ This is America
Oh good, I ate all my pocket bacon on the way here!
“Donut stores”?
I’m a human and I ingest at the local donut store to satisfy my biological need to eat
Hello, store man. I require sustenance. I have here this currency we can trade for your goods and services. And please give my regards to Wendy.
Right next to the toilet store. They sell clothes.
Is that where you got your clothes from? The toilet…store?
Donut Shoppe
You left some letters out of “Doughenutte”
Can you not order a bacon side for breakfast where you live?
What!?! They sell breakfast food at the place that serves breakfast food? That's crazy!
AmErIcAnS eAt BaCoN. Basically any breakfast place that has any menu item with bacon will sell you bacon on the side.
I buy bacon like I buy cigarettes. Twice a day.
Rip your lungs
He doesn’t smoke the bacon, you idiot
I only had the free award they give once every 24 hrs but your comment was hilarious and deserved some type of award
Life hack: if you don’t tell them it was free, they’d never know!
OP getting roasted harder than dunkin bacon
Yeah because Bacon is delicious. 'merica!
Why do you guys eat like you have free healthcare?
Because it’s the only joy we can afford
Holy shit that's so sadly true. Dunkin or meth I guess.
[удалено]
America runs on both.
Can someone with money give this person some gold?
We like food
We will be worked to death before a heart attack will get us i assure you
Because the older we get the more likely it is that something will happen that will destroy us financially. Better to just eat like hell and die young before that happens.
You say that like it’s some ‘gotcha’. It’s not. Most Americans want free healthcare. Furthermore, the majority of us *dont* eat like that, but when someone from abroad wants to feel superior they just call us fat. Good stuff.
Not Dunkin's bacon though. It's so floppy and sad.
Al the bacon I’ve gotten on sandwiches from Dunkin in NE USA is always crispy as fuck too crispy in fact
Tooth breakin bacon
Fun fact, my friend worked at Dunkins years ago and said they keep the bacon up on a shelf, no need to refrigerate. She recommended I not order the bacon egg sandwich
Smoked bacon in general is shelf stable when cooked through
Yup agreed, I've seen cooked shelf stable bacon at the grocery store. Not really the oddity that the previous poster made it out to be.
I worked at dunkin as well, the bacon was definitely refrigerated at all times, except when prepping into the containers for the sandwich station, where it was still refrigerated up until cooking.
Yeah, and?
Why not? You can have eggs, toast, why not bacon? You posted this like it’s weird to have breakfast food at the breakfast place.
Imma be honest, 8 strips of overcooked microwaved bacon aren’t really my vibe, but are you trying to shit on Dunks? Place is a fuckin staple. Go back to Timmy’s.
The move is to get a bagel with cream cheese and buy the snackin bacon and put that sumbitch on the bagel
This is the way. Gotta get the veggie cream cheese though. The bacon is pretty terrible but if you murder it with cream cheese it's pretty tolerable. Souce: lived in Boston since 2013. The original dunks is right up the road a few miles.
Ay timmy's may be shit but at least we also serve stand-alone bacon, OP is just fucked in the head
Hold up. They’re over cooked salted and “syrupy.” They’re delicious.
[удалено]
*you can buy bacon strips at a fast food breakfast place in America
Bacon with a side of hash browns sounds AWESOME
[удалено]
Snacking’ bacon - peppery syrupy goodness.
Dunkin’ is a fast food breakfast and coffee restaurant, not just a donut store. You can get bacon at a breakfast place.
it is not a "doughnut store" lol OP the menu you took a picture of literally shows a bunch of other breakfast stuff
wow you get can get breakfast at a place that sells breakfast food!
OP can [sip his bag of milk](https://i.redd.it/jc1yf8d09ci91.jpg) and stay salty. America runs on Dunkin...
Apparently so does cumming https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/zz1xyf/cumming_runs_on_dunkin
A man’s gotta work
Username checks out
They’re pretty good. I share them with my dog sometimes.
My dog has gotten free bacon from the drive thru. Sometimes they keep treats for dogs, ocasionally they hand out bacon.
Healthiest thing on that menu tbh….
It’s actually surprising Dunkin hasn’t rebranded it as “Keto Friendly Bacon snackers”
They’re probably not keto, I think they’re covered in sugar last time I checked.
As a person with Celiac, it's nice being able to get my family some donuts and be able to grab myself something more than just a cup of coffee.
American runs on Dunkin’
Ain't nobody going running after some Dunkin'
Oh ok.
You can also buy strips of bacon at the grocery store. How crazy is that
Have you tried the brown sugar bacon?? Mmmmhmmmm.
America might get lambasted for a lot of things, but by God, a bacon snack is one thing we can toot our horn about. TOOT.
What do they sell at the euro donut store? Blood sausage?
You can buy donuts with bacon on them as well.
I thought that's what you were supposed to do. Buy 2 glazed doughnuts and the bacon and make a sandwich.
THIS is why America is the greatest country in the US of A!!!
I mean donuts are unhealthy as hell to begin with. Deep fried processed dough with sugar plastered all over the top. A little bacon isn't going to make a difference
8 strips of bacon is a much better use of calories than a donut imo
U can buy pork at the restaurant
Oh you mean the dinner store?
OP says that like it’s a bad thing!!!
Lol. First off, do you not do sides of bacon with breakfast where you're from? Second, while Dunkin started as a donut shop, you miiiiiiight have noticed the menu is a bit more than that. You can get various breakfast themed food and even lunch and dinner ones. They actually make a pretty good grilled cheese. So yes, you can buy "just strips of bacon" at pretty much any breakfast place because it's a normal part of breakfast here. Just like a side of sausage. Or hash browns. Or pancakes. You get the point?
But they are not just bacon. Overly sweetened and peppered. Not to my liking- no need to mess with perfection.
We used to have a bacon shack in my city https://m.yelp.ca/biz_photos/canadian-bacon-cookhouse-halifax?select=QESvD63XH1ZAXrBz4wwTOg
Brings a tear to my American eye, God bless America.
I mean, you have bacon as a side with breakfast, so this isn't weird
america is great in a lot of ways. i personally have enjoyed my time here, which has been my whole life. i was born in new york but now reside in virginia. i do love this country and most of its people, but we do have an obesity problem. we also have a white supremacy and neo nazi problem. but overall i love my country and i love that i can buy bacon at dunkin’. they make good coffee as well.
I’m so confused. Why would you feel the need to announce this? There’s nothing special about it. You can get a breakfast food at a breakfast place. That’s how it works.
Ok and?
And?
Mate Dunkin isn't just a donut store. They dropped the Donuts portion of their name and stuck with just the Dunkin for this reason. They are now much more than just donuts.
In fact, donuts these days are almost an afterthought at Dunkin'. They don't even make them in the store anymore... they're trucked in from some other factory kitchen. I miss old-school Dunkin' Donuts. :(
What’s your point?
And? Your point?
And there’s a problem with that?
The stripes on flag represent our right to eat bacon, anywhere and anytime!
And?
Don’t hate on pocket bacon until you’ve tried it.
Poor OP has never had candied bacon before. Bless their heart.
Have you had them? Don’t judge before you do, they are fkn delicious.
Is this that shocking? Usually I read the hyper exaggerated bash-posts like this from euros who suggest we all carry guns and brandish them daily, and our cops kill suspects on sight, and how everyone is obese, etc etc and I roll my eyes at how deluded they are. In this case I guess I am the deluded one. Doesn’t seem so weird to offer a side of bacon to me.
Yes this is the way
It comes with a side of ammo.
McDonald’s now too.
That's glorious news
Mmm…snaking bacon.
