At first, I was just angry that the food I ordered through GrubHub was not what I expected — I anticipated the coffee being in a cup and the food relatively dry. Instead, I ended up with a dozen donuts and two muffin breakfast sandwiches steeped in that delicious Dunkin coffee we all love. What?

After contacting GrubHub and the driver, I have come to think this might perhaps be a deliberate beta test of a new menu item: the pre-dunked doughnut,

No more having to wrestle open 9888 degree cups of coffee in flimsy containers a few hours before you want to drink it with your doughnuts. No need to worry about the doughnut crumbs circling the cup because your implements to fish them out are limited to napkins. an empty cream packet, and the stylus from your phone. No wasted time between your pit stop and your morning destination.

Because Dunkin dunks them for you BEFORE you buy them just enough to infuse the doughnuts with that coffee taste but not enough to fall apart.

Genius!

I would never have thought of it. I would never have thought to put a box of a dozen doughnuts on the bottom of the bag and then carefully balance two cups of hot beverage with the lids ajar just enough to allow for dunking, but not affecting the integrity of the bag.
