Dunkin Center in the article

I don't see anything about the Dunkin Center in the article, making a suggestion to add this in. Here's the Dunkin Center homepage [1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.222.33.89 (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eponymous donut

There's no mention of the actual "dunkin" donut. I've no idea where I'd find a reference for it. This is a slightly smaller than normal plain donut with a tab on one side for holding it while you dunk it in your coffee. I just checked their website, and didn't find it there, either. Sent them a note asking what's up. - Denimadept (talk) 22:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dunkin's Dunkin Doughnut was killed when they went to a commissary system. The automated extruding machines employed by the company to form its donuts could not handle the handle. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed

The company has agreed to start using palm oil obtained from sustainable sources to help combat the destruction of native forest ecosystems. It's a major shift in corporate policy and the article needs to be updated to reflect this turn of events. Viriditas (talk) 06:57, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"History" section doesn't have any actual history.

It looks like the "history"section has been written by a corporate PR flack to promote the current incarnation of the chain. There is no mention of the actual corporate history besides an inauthentic photo of the "original" store. Which is not the original store. No mention of corporate bankruptcy. No mention of the move to Canada and only passing reference to the move back. No mention of the e-coli scandal or the issues they had with slave labor growing their coffee beans. This section should be completely re-written to reflect actual facts and history.
