    Yeah, I live near Boston (DD central) and they will throw sugar and cream into your coffee unless you are VERY clear that you don't want it. 99% of people just get it "regulah".

    This is why I don't go to Dunkin Donuts. The coffee I make at home tastes way better and I control what goes into it. Failing that, I get a black coffee and add my own stuff to it.

    It's a northeast thing. Regular coffee, coffee regular, cawwfeee regular, coffee regulah... means coffee with cream and sugar.

    There are three basic ways to order coffee: black, regular, light and sweet (extra cream & extra sugar)

    yes ! ...that's what I'm talking about. :)

    so....

    walk in and say- I'd like a medium coffee- black.

    or a medium coffee skim

    or medium coffee whole milk

    or medium coffee half and half

    or medium milk light sugar.

    you are paying them to make your coffee- you can get it made however you want.

    although- this is true. it's not that difficult to order it w/o all the stuff.

    understand that part of it ;) ...just commenting on the high calorie content as I never knew ! The large "regular" DD coffee was given to me this morning, as a friendly gesture by a friend, so I had it and enjoyed it. :) I actually prefer my coffee without sugar and almond milk.

    Also a Dunkin Donuts thing. I only like coffee black, so the first time I wet through the DD drive-through with a friend who had claimed DD coffee was so great (it's rated by a lot of people I know) I was horrified to see that my regular coffee had tons of stuff in it and had to dump it out and get new coffee. (This was years ago and I wasn't dieting, for the record.) It was bizarre to me, since here regular coffee is black and only black. (Also tea without further specification ought to mean not sweetened.)


    This is all opening my mind I guess ;-)

    Where I live, regular coffee is black coffee...and then you add your own whatever. And tea is iced sweet tea...which I do not like...I always have to specify if I want unsweetened tea and iced versus hot.

    Same here except tea is unsweetened unless specified.

    Well at least you took the time to research the calorie content so chalk it up to a learning experience!

    OK.. let me make this easy for all ya'll (note the accent in the text ;p) Coffee comes 2 ways... regular and unleaded. These stand for with or without caffeine. ANYTHING else in the coffee ain't coffee but add ins.. For the record I like my coffee the way I like my women: Hot, fresh, blonde, and sweet ;)
