Dunkin' Donuts to offer healthier menu items
"Looking to entice those hungry for a healthier option, Dunkin' Donuts will begin offering a new slate of better-for-you offerings in August.
The menu, which will debut in stores Aug. 6, will feature two new flatbread sandwiches made with egg whites. Customers will be able to choose either a turkey sausage egg-white sandwich or a vegetable one. Both will be under 300 calories with 9 grams of fat or less, the company said.
"We just felt it was important to provide some choice in our menu," said Will Kussell, president and chief brand officer.
The new menu will be called DDSmart and will include all current and new items that either have 25 percent few calories, sugar, fat or sodium than comparable products or contain ingredients that are "nutritionally beneficial," the company said.
Current products that will join the new sandwiches on the menu include a multigrain bagel and a reduced-fat blueberry muffin.
Kussell said Dunkin' will continue to add products to the menu and is currently developing several new offerings, but would not disclose any details.
Kussell said Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Brands Inc. will spend several million dollars marketing the new menu.
A number of restaurants have added better-for-you options to their menus in the past few years to take advantage of a trend toward healthier eating.
"We're staying very true to our brand and very true to our heritage," said the company's executive chef Stan Frankenphaler. "We're just growing and evolving."" "Looking to entice those hungry for a healthier option, Dunkin' Donuts will begin offering a new slate of better-for-you off... more -

Rachel Ray Sparks Outrage Over Terrorist Ad
Boisterous celeb-chef Rachel Ray is under fire after recent photos taken for a recent Dunkin' Donuts ad. In the controversial photographs she is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design that apparently resembles those worn by terrorists.
Dunkin' Donuts made a decision to pull the ad featuring the popular foodie stating, "It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial."
ABC news asks, Fashion faux pas or terrorist sympathizer?
In her response to the action, according to the published report, Rachel said, "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists."

Scarf's Offensive In Dunkin Donuts Ad
Poor Rachel Ray...
Dunkin’ Donuts abruptly pulled an ad featuring its pitch woman Rachael Ray after a conservative commentator wrote that the scarf Ray wore in the ad looked like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.
“The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad," Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin wrote in her syndicated column.

Dunkin' Donuts yanks Rachael Ray ad over what looks like an Arab Scarf
Once again, Michelle Malkin shows us how rediculous she can get.
Does Dunkin' Donuts really think its customers could mistake Rachael Ray for a terrorist sympathizer? The Canton-based company has abruptly canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin' Donuts boycott. "The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad," Malkin yowls in her syndicated column. "Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons."....

This is ridiculous. Its a scarf, this is America, are we censoring the use of scarves because they look like something a terrorist would wear?
Does Fox News and its ridiculous staff actually swallow this kind of nonsense? Once again, Michelle Malkin shows us how rediculous she can get. ... more -
