I worked at Dunkin and they never told us how much air to put in the coffee. The air/coffee/ice ratio entirely depends on the employee that fate assigns to you. Also, the longer they've worked there, the worse your odds are at getting a good ratio.
Go during non peak hours. I worked at Dunkin' and I got fired for being "too slow" because we were encouraged to do the bare minimum to get people's orders out. Burnt food, coffees that don't have the requested amount of syrups and milks or whatever. If you just want a black iced coffee you're fine, but anything more complicated you're going to get whatever syrups and liquids they have within arms reach.
Has to be said: DD is seriously the most mixed bag fast food place in the country and I stand by that. I have never seen a place that is so hit or miss in my life. You can go to the same DD, order the same items and get differing quality of said items. Some times you get a refreshing iced coffee and sometimes you get gross overly sweetened bean water that you immediately want to throw out. Every store is like this too; it's honestly impressive the consistency of quality variance at DD.
The fact they didn’t account for the ice melting inflates Dunkin’s score dramatically because they let it sit longer than the Starbucks before being measured
I also hate to be the bearer of bad news but the ice coffee is actually brewed on top of ice, so it’s been diluted with ice anyways since the beginning, we are pouring your iced coffee out of a shuttle that was filled with ice. It will always be a diluted iced coffee. You can’t avoid this lmao
This is why they should ask for a cup of ice to measure the volume of a single ice cube, then count how many icecubes are in each of the coffee cups and multiply by the true volume.
I don't. Because I've had people literally yell at me for not putting enough ice in their coffee. So I just put exactly what is supposed to go in there and nothing more. After dealing with enough people like that it just isn't worth it anymore. You get what you get. Don't get paid enough to care, and most people don't tip enough for me to help them out.
Not a problem if you know how to actually use them properly, you can't just dump it out and not expect spillage, you start of slow with a light stream and build it up. Not hard.
I used to work at Dunkin, cheap owners used to tell us to only fill it halfway if the customer wanted no ice. I said screw that and always made sure people got their money’s worth, in return I ended up becoming the biggest tip earner in the store, you can bet my coworkers loved having me on shift haha.
@@rastacat he’s gone on record saying he does pretty much all his editing for his videos. Makes sense considering there wasn’t much editing beside cuts.
You should remove the ice beforehand, like dump it through a strainer as you buy it. Ice is less dense than water, so by letting it melt at all is increasing the amount of liquid water in the drink. Removing it at purchase time would give you more accurate information! Love this content, by the way, keep it up!
Im slowly realizing how bad this experiment is, I could be wrong but he said he did starbucks first so less ice would have melted. I assume he just left the dunkin drinks on the table leaving more time for the ice to melt making the amount of dunkin coffee appear higher than what it should be.
@@elibrown6796 It's becoming rather clear that they understand what to correctly but they just don't care about putting in the effort to do it the proper scientific way. Or they're just very dumb lol
Y'all, it's not meant to be a serious experiment. If they were doing this to be precise, it probably wouldn't even be on this channel. They'd have to take like a dozen of each size from several different locations to even call it valid if they wanted it to be a legitimate experiment, but that'd be boring as hell. The demonstration is good enough to get a general idea, which is all you need for something with as many variables as something like this. You don't need to take it seriously or anything.
In New England, the majority of the litter on the ground is scratched lottery tickets, empty Fireball shot bottles, and Dunks trash. Dunks customers don’t know what a garage can does.
The variable which haunts the experiment is that the ice has melted by the time you test them. If they don’t specify light ice, fill up the cup with ice all the way. With the ice filled all the way up I’ve taken 3 sips and drink a whole large.
Former Dunkin Employee, we do have a ice to coffee ratio for standard ice orders. You can see it on the iced cups, the ice line and the coffee fill line. Your Large cup was definitely underfilled, it could've been the end of the iced coffee batch or they stopped the pour too soon.

Millilitres and grams convert 1:1 when it comes to water. 140 grams of ice cubes is 140 milliliters when it's melted. It's the only liquid you can convert like that in the metric system. One kilo water is 1000 cubic centimeters. The metric system just makes sense.

As a former Dunkin employee whos willing to spill the deets: There are different types of donuts we sell (duh) that make up pretty much every kind of donut. They all come frozen and are thawed or "thermed" until they are ready for dressing. The boxes youll find in the freezer are as follows: Vanilla cake rings make up the old fashioned, chocolate frosted cake, and the powdered donuts. Munchkins (holes) of these are glazed for old fashioned munchkins. Chocolate cake make the Double Chocolate and Chocolate glaze. Munchkins (holes) of these are glazed for chocolate munchkins. Blueberry cake is the blueberry glazed ones... same w the munchkins. Yeast rings make up the glazed and other frosted varieties, icing is heated and donuts are dipped usually but it varies from location to location. (If you ever ask for a donut w sprinkles and they are out, an employee takes a donut with the set icing and sprays water on it so the sprinkles will stick.) Yeast shells make the filled varieties like Boston, Jelly, lemon (when we had it, RIP) and others. Shells that have sugar or powder on them like the Jelly or Vanilla/Chocolate cream are coated before filled with the miniscule amount of filling that you get. Yeast munchkins make up the filled/glazed OG munchkins. French crueller were their own frozen thing. Muffins, apple fritters, and Cinnamon rolls were all frozen too. As a former manager i can tell you most of the stores do not clean their glazer hardly enough. I can also tell you making donuts, can believe it or not, be depressing. Getting up at 3 am to go in at 4 and POSSIBLY get off at 2 pm (usually not) for 5 or six days a week does something terrible to a person. Seeing the same people for breakfast for years and years and watching them blow up like balloons and then not seeing them again.. it makes you kinda feel like youre feeding the addiction to sugar.... which i was.

I do believe the reason you got a bit of air at the top of all your drinks is because the coffees were black. I work at Dunkin' and if you pour the coffee directly into a cup with no cream/swirls/etc. in it, it leaves bubbles/foam at the top that fully disappears like a minute later. Filling it to the top and putting a lid on the cup would make the bubbles overflow.
Is it not obvious to them that as they let the ice melt they are adding water to the coffee and as a result watering down the coffee. Increasing the amount of “coffee”.
I figured. Thats why i rry to ask for light or less ice to hopefully get more coffee. Its crazy how much ice is wasted in a med or large, just for like almost a cup of coffee or less just to be poured in it
@@johny9567 its cuz you want ice on the drink. imagine getting a iced drink on a hot dsummer day, and asking for NO ICE? uyeah, lemme slurp that warm room temp coffee, mm mmmm mm! lol, I think the ppl that designed the mixtires accounted for ice _already_ the drinks. if you check DUnkins specifically, the large ice is the highest, bu you get an XL hot - and the XL hot is not as much as the Large ice - bc ice cups _account for ice in the drink_
@@TemmiePlaysthank you for real. People are feeling like real scientists over some ice but aren’t realizing it’s a literal part of their order, and that the sizes of iced cups are always bigger than their hot size, to account for the ice. You get the same amount of coffee, just with ice. Why even get an iced coffee. All you’re doing when you order no ice is ROOM TEMP coffee and wasting a bunch of coffee the overworked workers will have to rebrew, all for a smart ass who ordered no/less Ice as if it’s going to relief them from poverty Also OP is just incorrect, large and medium aren’t the same , but they just started working at “donuts” so I’ll cut them some slack
That's also essential for measuring the liquid volume you get out of the iced cups. If the ice melts, it adds to the liquid volume of the cup over time. The longer you guys took to get to a cup, after ordering, driving, and then commencing filming, the looser the factual evaluation of liquid, ice, etc. measurements became. Love these vids either way, just pointing out scientific controls in a friend way.
Tip to avoid spill when pouring : DO NOT HESITATE. Let it FLOW 100%. Not push out, FLOW out. The more you hesitate, the more liquid will hesitate as well, some of them will try to crawl back and end up under the cup and drip down because it's not fully flowing. It's a delicate balance, but once you learn how it will become natural like riding a bike.
honestly just depends on the employee. when i worked as FOH service, i did 1/3 of ice, never half of the cup. even now as a BOH chef, and prep cook, i still do a little extra cheese on a ziti, or a little extra alfredo.
The thing is, at Dunkins their ice coffee has more caffeine in it due to them expecting some of the ice to melt to dilute the coffee, or something like that. Or at least that is what I was told a long time ago.
When I worked at McDonald’s as a teen , we would brew the iced coffee with like 5x the grounds of a pot of coffee , because we expected it to be watered down. Even though it was cooled to room temp first .
Probably. Last *I checked,* “America runs on Dunk’n”, because Starbucks must’ve forgotten about the fact that people like something to GO WITH their coffee. So they *must’ve spent* all of their corporate profits on *coffee,* and not on *breakfast food.* So as a result, people go to Dunk’n. (But I could be wrong).
I seriously love the Charlie cold brew at dunkin and after going almost everyday (before they changed their rewards program to be shit) I’ve found the key for drinks is getting a medium. Large is just extra milk and is gross and small is somehow also a lot of milk to coffee ratio. Medium somehow is ALWAYS perfectly made. I’ve even had my sister in another state test it and she agreed 😂
even though matt said his hypothesis first, im convinced he traveled to a future dimension to hear what charlie had to say, then he traveled back in the blink of an eye and said it first.
as someone who works at dunkin I know there's for sure a certain amount of ice we're taught to put in the cup for the iced coffee vs lattes but as far as the "air space" goes... girl that kinda depends on the one making the drink I think lol personally I like to fill it as much as I can lol
Usually, I would be frustrated at the fact that they don't know that an iced coffee itself is not going to equal it's value because the ice is going to effect the volume. That's how that works. But like, I love these 2
The question they are exploring is how much the ice affects the value. Ideally, these stores should give bigger cups when you order ice. It's not "free ice", you're paying for it in coffee.
5:08 If you want to measure the overall strength of the coffee, you can use a refractometer. Doesn’t find caffeine specifically, but it does determine how much stuff besides water is in the coffee.
This was an entertainment video not a science video. what were you expecting. Also I have heard that they add extra caffiene because they expect the drink to be diluted from the melted ice, so it doesn't matter anyways
this is a new bar for investigative journalism right here. the boys are defo setting a new standard and after seeing this, there is no going back to the amateurs that do ameteur journlism like investigating big pharma, or the gu'ment. that stuff for babies. changing the game one cup at a time. keep up the good work boys. we salute you.
As a kid I ate a donut from Dunkin Donuts, which was at that time the only donut franchise in my country, and concluded that donuts tasted terrible. Years later, when there were other donut stores, my friends convinced me to try donuts again. I did and realised donuts were actually delicious and that it was Dunkin Donuts donuts that were terrible. Edit: Is DD donuts the same everywhere or are they different eg America vs EU vs SEA
Depends how they are made and how long ago they were made. Some of them are really good some of them aren’t. They have more than enough money to make the donuts way better quality and flavor but they only focus on their coffee and drinks for the most part now. I don’t think there is any excuse for them to not make it better quality. They could be the best if they wanted to but they aren’t.
It really varies depending on the worker who makes them. There's one that makes really good donuts in my place and on other malls they barely have any fillings which is just terrible.
Dunkin Donuts is just meh around where I live. Mediocre, definitely mass produced, whether or not it depends who is on staff at the time. I know they have gone downhill a bit since the 'It's time to make the donuts' era. The best donuts are from scratch bakery donuts, hands down, those family owned shops in strip malls and franchises. Publix has DD beat, too. When I upgraded my coffee game at home (grinding it, either individual filters or pour over and so on) I found that even their coffee wasn't even as mid-tier as I thought it was, but it is one of the coffees I prefer for a stop-and-go on the road, any day over Starbucks.
a big mac at mcdobalds is liek 11 bucks, i can buy 4 pounds of ground beef, a loaf of bread, a bottle of ketchup mayo and even some cheese and have change left over. sure that coffee is outrageous thoug, lmao whats sad is usa produces beef as its main export and its still charging 11 bucks for like 1/4 a pound of beef.
as someone with a degree i Biotech, this is painful to watch with how they preformed said "experiment". I have seen multiple comments before me saying that ice is less dense than water, so the smallest ice coffee would have melted significantly fasted based on how they did their experiment thus increasing water content. You have over 13 mil subs...cant you get one giant ass nerd to help with these experiments who actually knows what they are doing, Content is good, just wish they had someone to help actually do this shit properly and consistently.
It's kind of weird to estimate if it's a scam because Dunkin has happy hour from 2-6 pm meaning all iced coffees are $2.33, but from a 9 am stance, this video is accurate. Also, apparently everyone in the comments has worked at Dunkin which is insane.
Doctor strange could enter a dunkin and look into 100 million alternate realities where he enter that dunkin only to conclude he has 50/50 chance of it being good. *Truly terrifying...*
I was a barista and for iced drinks we are trained 1 scoop for iced drinks, that includes all sizes. If you order light ice obviously you will get light ice, but if you order any sized drink you should be getting the same amount of ice.
Hello! A chemist here! I really appreciate your scientific process. And the meniscus reading is 10/10. I recommend in the future getting a 1000 mL graduated cylinder. I used to use one in water quality research and it is very useful to get accurate and precise measurements. Just my two cents :D
A point to consider, ice floats above the meniscus of the liquid. If a worker fills a cup to the same liquid level for iced or no ice, when the ice melts the liquid level for iced will be larger.
“You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs” means it is impossible to get something important done without creating a problem for someone else Edit: my bad i meant to comment this in another video where someone ask what that quote means
I worked at Dunkin for a summer when I was a teenager and it was all processed garbage.

I work at Dunkin' and if you pour the coffee directly into a cup with no cream/swirls/etc. in it, it leaves bubbles/foam at the top that fully disappears like a minute later.
Filling it to the top and putting a lid on the cup would make the bubbles overflow.
As a former Dunkin’ employee, There is a fill line on every iced cup. The bigger the size, the more ice-drink you get
Is it not obvious to them that as they let the ice melt they are adding water to the coffee and as a result watering down the coffee. Increasing the amount of “coffee”.
“I know the numbers are telling us stuff I know they’re helping but I don’t think I’m doing it correctly”
they should use a funnel... it holds back the ice, but doesn't splash the coffee around...
Lmao trying to fit the small Dunkin' inside the Starbucks small was freaking hilarious. "That just blew the whole case wide open!"
Just started working at donuts and I can say for myself that the large coffee is no different from a medium. We also fill the cup with 75% ice
I figured. Thats why i rry to ask for light or less ice to hopefully get more coffee. Its crazy how much ice is wasted in a med or large, just for like almost a cup of coffee or less just to be poured in it
@@johny9567 its cuz you want ice on the drink. imagine getting a iced drink on a hot dsummer day, and asking for NO ICE? uyeah, lemme slurp that warm room temp coffee, mm mmmm mm!
lol, I think the ppl that designed the mixtires accounted for ice _already_ the drinks.
if you check DUnkins specifically, the large ice is the highest, bu you get an XL hot - and the XL hot is not as much as the Large ice - bc ice cups _account for ice in the drink_
@@TemmiePlaysthank you for real. People are feeling like real scientists over some ice but aren’t realizing it’s a literal part of their order, and that the sizes of iced cups are always bigger than their hot size, to account for the ice.
You get the same amount of coffee, just with ice. Why even get an iced coffee. All you’re doing when you order no ice is ROOM TEMP coffee and wasting a bunch of coffee the overworked workers will have to rebrew, all for a smart ass who ordered no/less Ice as if it’s going to relief them from poverty
Also OP is just incorrect, large and medium aren’t the same , but they just started working at “donuts” so I’ll cut them some slack
@SyakirinTheStickManhuh?
@@TemmiePlaysmaybe ask for less ice in the iced coffee?
I hope they keep pumping this out to find your best bucks
@h11630 it's a bot, report him and move on lol
@SyakirinTheStickMan bro what are you smoking

In terms of measuring the ice you essentially have to do that in the car when you get it.
That's also essential for measuring the liquid volume you get out of the iced cups. If the ice melts, it adds to the liquid volume of the cup over time. The longer you guys took to get to a cup, after ordering, driving, and then commencing filming, the looser the factual evaluation of liquid, ice, etc. measurements became. Love these vids either way, just pointing out scientific controls in a friend way.
Tip to avoid spill when pouring :
DO NOT HESITATE.
Let it FLOW 100%. Not push out, FLOW out.
The more you hesitate, the more liquid will hesitate as well, some of them will try to crawl back and end up under the cup and drip down because it's not fully flowing. It's a delicate balance, but once you learn how it will become natural like riding a bike.
honestly just depends on the employee. when i worked as FOH service, i did 1/3 of ice, never half of the cup. even now as a BOH chef, and prep cook, i still do a little extra cheese on a ziti, or a little extra alfredo.
The thing is, at Dunkins their ice coffee has more caffeine in it due to them expecting some of the ice to melt to dilute the coffee, or something like that. Or at least that is what I was told a long time ago.
When I worked at McDonald’s as a teen , we would brew the iced coffee with like 5x the grounds of a pot of coffee , because we expected it to be watered down. Even though it was cooled to room temp first .
You have a big container filled with ice and the hot brewed coffee falls into that. Then it is poured into a cup and more ice is added.
The coffee conspiracies is quickly becoming my favorite part of the moist manga.
Probably. Last *I checked,* “America runs on Dunk’n”, because Starbucks must’ve forgotten about the fact that people like something to GO WITH their coffee. So they *must’ve spent* all of their corporate profits on *coffee,* and not on *breakfast food.* So as a result, people go to Dunk’n.
(But I could be wrong).
I love how you can tell how hyper they are from having so much coffee in one sitting
This definitely makes me feel better about my mediocre pod coffee
All the coffee shops are quivering in their boots right now hoping Charlie won’t expose their fraudulent activities.
I seriously love the Charlie cold brew at dunkin and after going almost everyday (before they changed their rewards program to be shit) I’ve found the key for drinks is getting a medium. Large is just extra milk and is gross and small is somehow also a lot of milk to coffee ratio. Medium somehow is ALWAYS perfectly made. I’ve even had my sister in another state test it and she agreed 😂
The times I’ve order a double espresso at DD they’ve given me a cup with 10 shots instead of 2. DD is the worst cheap coffee.
even though matt said his hypothesis first, im convinced he traveled to a future dimension to hear what charlie had to say, then he traveled back in the blink of an eye and said it first.
as someone who works at dunkin I know there's for sure a certain amount of ice we're taught to put in the cup for the iced coffee vs lattes but as far as the "air space" goes... girl that kinda depends on the one making the drink I think lol personally I like to fill it as much as I can lol
Usually, I would be frustrated at the fact that they don't know that an iced coffee itself is not going to equal it's value because the ice is going to effect the volume. That's how that works. But like, I love these 2
The question they are exploring is how much the ice affects the value. Ideally, these stores should give bigger cups when you order ice. It's not "free ice", you're paying for it in coffee.
@@dragonsaige well at Dunkin they do. The size of an iced cup is bigger than it’s hot cup counterpart
5:08 If you want to measure the overall strength of the coffee, you can use a refractometer. Doesn’t find caffeine specifically, but it does determine how much stuff besides water is in the coffee.
My first job was at dunkin & while 3rd shift made the donuts fresh nightly, the coffee recipes have completely changed & flavors suck now.
425ml being the smallest size is crazy
I was actually hoping for some uniformity in the testing and a result I could ponder and ended up just feeling frustrated
Lol same. The ice was already melted or melting, idk what they were thinking
This was an entertainment video not a science video. what were you expecting. Also I have heard that they add extra caffiene because they expect the drink to be diluted from the melted ice, so it doesn't matter anyways
this is a new bar for investigative journalism right here. the boys are defo setting a new standard and after seeing this, there is no going back to the amateurs that do ameteur journlism like investigating big pharma, or the gu'ment. that stuff for babies.
changing the game one cup at a time. keep up the good work boys. we salute you.
As a kid I ate a donut from Dunkin Donuts, which was at that time the only donut franchise in my country, and concluded that donuts tasted terrible. Years later, when there were other donut stores, my friends convinced me to try donuts again. I did and realised donuts were actually delicious and that it was Dunkin Donuts donuts that were terrible.
Edit: Is DD donuts the same everywhere or are they different eg America vs EU vs SEA
Depends how they are made and how long ago they were made. Some of them are really good some of them aren’t. They have more than enough money to make the donuts way better quality and flavor but they only focus on their coffee and drinks for the most part now. I don’t think there is any excuse for them to not make it better quality. They could be the best if they wanted to but they aren’t.
It really varies depending on the worker who makes them. There's one that makes really good donuts in my place and on other malls they barely have any fillings which is just terrible.
LaMar's are the BEST!!
Depends on the person imo I have never had a bad Dunkin donuts donut
Dunkin Donuts is just meh around where I live. Mediocre, definitely mass produced, whether or not it depends who is on staff at the time. I know they have gone downhill a bit since the 'It's time to make the donuts' era. The best donuts are from scratch bakery donuts, hands down, those family owned shops in strip malls and franchises. Publix has DD beat, too. When I upgraded my coffee game at home (grinding it, either individual filters or pour over and so on) I found that even their coffee wasn't even as mid-tier as I thought it was, but it is one of the coffees I prefer for a stop-and-go on the road, any day over Starbucks.
Dinkin is good but not consistent. A lot of shop owners cheat and water down the coffee (especially iced!)
so it really depends where you go.
why don't they put the strainer over the top of the cup and then pour it in lmao
You know it’s real when Charlie brings out the abacus.
Ah, the long awaited sequel to “Is Starbucks a scam?” Truly spectacular, this series is unmatched
When they said mL and g don’t convert, I cried, have they never heard of density 😭. Water is 1 g/mL
It’s half the price of Starbucks and in a bigger size when you compare grande and large dunkin

Cool
Here’s your attention you ordered
@SUPERNOVA0360 No one wants to hear your fucking fan fiction.😧
Places like Dunkin' Donuts never fail to amuse me at how you can charge three times the price for the same thing you can get anywhere else, coffee.
roblox bum tryna get clout from comments
a big mac at mcdobalds is liek 11 bucks,
i can buy 4 pounds of ground beef, a loaf of bread, a bottle of ketchup mayo and even some cheese and have change left over.
sure that coffee is outrageous thoug, lmao
whats sad is usa produces beef as its main export and its still charging 11 bucks for like 1/4 a pound of beef.
your mom buys you the combo its like 6 bucks goofy@@TemmiePlays
I make my coffee at home and it cost me around 10 cents per cup.
@@TemmiePlays woah, who said it was 11 usd? the sandwich is like 4 usd. And what 4 pounds of ground beef can you buy with 2 bucks?
I love Dunkins bacon egg and cheese, otherwise nothing else is really worth the price. Other than maybe a regular medium coffee
@dafaqboom706what
@SUPERNOVA0360ah nah you sick asl💀💀
Imagine not being first
Nah there new warps hit
I think Dunkin is the least expensive coffee place.
as someone with a degree i Biotech, this is painful to watch with how they preformed said "experiment". I have seen multiple comments before me saying that ice is less dense than water, so the smallest ice coffee would have melted significantly fasted based on how they did their experiment thus increasing water content. You have over 13 mil subs...cant you get one giant ass nerd to help with these experiments who actually knows what they are doing, Content is good, just wish they had someone to help actually do this shit properly and consistently.
Apparently the pink sauce lady had more come out about her, im not sure what exactly but it seems interesting
Only Charlie can try out every types of food and drinks and save lots of people money
It's kind of weird to estimate if it's a scam because Dunkin has happy hour from 2-6 pm meaning all iced coffees are $2.33, but from a 9 am stance, this video is accurate. Also, apparently everyone in the comments has worked at Dunkin which is insane.
Thanks for Dunkin our donuts Charlie!
They're playing with their lives not wearing safety goggles
8:40 charlie realized what he said you can see him smile lmaooo hilarious
Yo, this is a new record, 40 sec. since release.
@ReturnOfACGno
AYO that's nice
i was 29 so get better
I liked my own comment.
Doctor strange could enter a dunkin and look into 100 million alternate realities where he enter that dunkin only to conclude he has 50/50 chance of it being good.
*Truly terrifying...*
I was a barista and for iced drinks we are trained 1 scoop for iced drinks, that includes all sizes. If you order light ice obviously you will get light ice, but if you order any sized drink you should be getting the same amount of ice.
Charlie doing nothing:
Interesting.
He looks SO AWKWARD
Debunk'n Donuts
Hello! A chemist here! I really appreciate your scientific process. And the meniscus reading is 10/10. I recommend in the future getting a 1000 mL graduated cylinder. I used to use one in water quality research and it is very useful to get accurate and precise measurements. Just my two cents :D
Less money , more coffee , better ingredients, papa johns .😂
That salt & pepper hair 😩
I love how these videos just prove things that were already logically expected, but I guess that's a lot of science
The longer the video went on, the more the ice is melted
Most likely the little ice option had maybe several icecubes, but by the time they recorded, most had melted and inflated the mL.
A point to consider, ice floats above the meniscus of the liquid. If a worker fills a cup to the same liquid level for iced or no ice, when the ice melts the liquid level for iced will be larger.
As a Dunkin Donut Coffee lover, I love coffee.
I'm just waiting for them to make a big posterboard showing their results, for the science fair.
Former dunkin corporate csr here. There really is no standard for all the stores. That was one of the biggest complaints I got.
“You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs” means it is impossible to get something important done without creating a problem for someone else
Edit: my bad i meant to comment this in another video where someone ask what that quote means
I LOVE how long we wait for the ice to melt in these videos. Good job guys
I worked at Dunkin for a summer when I was a teenager and it was all processed garbage. Once I had my appendix removed I could never eat any of that stuff again nor did I ever eat that much to begin with but if I ever had to scarf worn down to survive I wouldn't be able to I immediately start throwing It up
U got the quantity taken care of, now u just gotta measure the QUALITY of coffee to be really sure if one is worth more than the other
Whenever the series ends, the last one should be the 7/11 big gulp cups just for an outlandish comparison.
