Because EVERY TIME I go to Dunkin' Donuts, they're out of blueberry AND berry-berry.
With wierd ones left. Piles of them. Salsa (in the MORNING?) Garlic. Sourdough. Salt? Plain. Wheat. Sometimes there's cinnamon raisin.
All I wanted was a damn berry-type bagel.
No matter what time I go in the morning, there AREN'T ANY.
Are they not making them?
Do they never make enough?
Just puts a damper on the whole day. I don't even GET bagels very often. Today was a reward because I found out the rash wasn't caused by the lamictal...meaning I don't have to go off a med that seems to be stabilizing me.
Though the want of berry bagels might cause my demise.

Berry bagels are an abomination. Be glad that others will suffer the repercussions of consuming them.

At my house, they end up in the same place that everything else we eat ends up...
Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :
Judging by what foods come by my clinic most often, the berry bagels are probably all being snatched up by drug reps and taken to doctors' offices.
*Looks at big abandoned pile of berry bagels*
Want one of these? Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :
Does anyone ever use fruit flavored cream-cheese on their bagels? It's repulsive
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Why would anyone order a bagel from Dunkin' Donuts, particularly if they want a berry flavor of some kind? Dunkin' Donuts makes a FANTASTIC blueberry cake donut.

Tom--'cause then I'd be hungry an hour later.
Though I was eyeing the donuts. *drool* mmm...donut...
As for drug reps...*kicks them*

mack, Come to West Point, the commissary seems to ONLY have blueberry bagels. And poppy seed. I want an everything bagel! waaaaah!
PS--I'm serious, come to West Point. I have taken more pictures of hottie cadets Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
jexx, I actually want to come down and visit in october. What I can do is drive down after my saturday morning class and stay sunday and monday and drive back tuesday.
What do you think?
Let me know what days would be good.
I need warning so that I can get the vacation time.
I'd need to request...SOON. o_O

The best cadet isn't there anymore. *sends out an amiable vibe, hopes it lands*
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
jexx, are you a cadet at west point? do you know jeremy stache?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Now I'm off to do work OUTSIDE my office.
Mmm...sun.
And thanks Tom. Now I want a donut. *glare*
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
I'm not a cadet, neither do I play one on tv.
I work at the cadet bookstore at West Point, and my hubbie is stationed here (he's a Sgt. in the Army).
mack, I'm going to have to talk to the mister about when would be a good time. I'll let you know as soon as possible! Tres exciting!
I don't know a Jeremy Stache, but now I'm going to be checking nametags all day tomorrow looking for him. *snicker*
kat, I didn't know "amiable", did I? What year did s/he graduate?

Hey, at least you've got a Dunkin Donuts to go to. The closest one to me is over 20 miles away. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
I have six in a five mile radius. Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :
Well, now you're just asking for it...
Not what you were expecting, huh? Mwahahahaha! Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
AUGH!!!

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
Mack, see if you can find an Einstein Bagels. They're yummy and always have plenty of fruit type bagels. Of course they also have icky weirdo ones like asiago cheese and I'm surprised you got ANY sympathy from Tom because he only eats onion bagels *shudder*
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
They had plenty of onion bagels.
Want me to send some to Tom?
If he'll trade me some berry ones.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Mmm. . . onion bagels and cream cheese.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Cinnamon raisin AGAIN.
And I went to three different Dunkins. Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :
The best bagels I've ever had are from panera bread, the cinnamon crunch ones. I heat them up in the microwave, and smother them with butter, and they taste like cinnamon rolls, only better.
Ni!

Are you KIDDING??? Asiago cheese bagels are the very best. They are especially good with savory cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and green onions. And they make the very best sandwiches.
I much prefer savory bagels to sweet ones.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Mmm... there's nothing like a good salt bagel with cream cheese. I'm not a fan of berry bagels myself... so you can't blame me for being the one who ate them! Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
But I can still BLAME you. Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
quote: -I'm serious, come to West Point. I have taken more pictures of hottie cadets
I saw the west Point crew team deploy one morning. It was the first time in my life I felt like a leering, lustful old lady.
I like sundried tomato bagels, but they are getting rarer. I think half the country woke up one morning and said why did I ever think that was a good idea?
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :

And now I feel like that Every Day. *sigh* I have to work with these people! The scenery doesn't suck, though, I'll tell ya! Plus, they are genuinely good kids, for the most part, and that is frelling attractive.
Sundried tomatoes: I never got the attraction to those. Blecch.

Zal, when I saw the title of the thread, I clicked on it, fully intending to post "Berry bagels are an abomination."
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Screw you both.
I JUST WANT A BLUEBERRY BAGEL! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!? Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
Just buy it the day before; as in hand over the cash. Most folk behind the counter are more than willing to favor regular customers.
Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
I suppose that if you are bent on this path of a destruction, I could contact the Dunkin Donuts gods and suggest they interfere with the infidels who keep buying up the blueberry bagels before you get there.
Or you could just get up earlier in the morning.
---- I am somewhat embarrassed by the fact that I know the Dunkin Donuts gods. It's a long story, but it has to do with the unfortunate fact that my followers soaked up too much of the Slavic and Austro-Hungarian influences and began to turn more and more to fried foods which led to this really strange convention for minor deities that I attended a few years ago [I presented on the subject of schnitzel as burnt offerings] --- oh, and, yeah, I'm sorry about the whole fried twinkie thing. I was just joking around, but those damm anglo-saxon cuisine gods [boy are they oxymoronic in just about every way possible] take everything so seriously.
Posted by Four thirty (Member # 5639) on :
I have no access to dunkin donuts (tant pis), but the local safeway here usually has a good selection of baked goods. But lately, they have not had ANY muffins. At all. What's the deal with that. Anyway? So this morning, I got an asiago cheese bagel (mmmmmmm) and some smoked salmon cream cheese spread, but all I REALLY wanted was a cranberry orange muffin. Is that too much to ask? Apparently.

Agrees with Zal and Icky. To me, there is something just unnatural about a berry bagel.
Give me a garlic, onion or poppyseed bagel with chive cheese any day. Yum!!!
As for donuts, I love a good old fashioned, cake-type "Dunkin Donut" with my coffee - none of that glaze, sugar-coating or filling.

Once more.
Welcome, by the way!
The first thread I ever started was to ask the same question. At least you didn't ask the n00b question quite as publicly as I did!
I hope you enjoy Hatrack as much as I have!
-o-
Now, to derail this topic: Dunkin Donuts (and virtually all grocery store donuts) make me nauseated. Note that I'm not making a comment on preference or tastes. I mean they literally nauseate me.
The only donuts that don't are Krispy Kreme.

Eh, there's a new DD that went up by me that's a drive thru. Best of all, it's connected to the ice cream store. Sorry guys. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
We have two of those here.

I'd like to see you try.
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Mmmmmmm....Krispy Kremes are the only glazed donuts I like.
**Ela**
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Me too, Ic. I can't eat anything but Krispy Kremes... Any other doughnuts taste like ring-shaped lard...
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Um, Ryuko...That's what they ARE. Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Ooooohhhh.... Well that explains it, then. Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
But see, I'm not talking about taste. Although in fact I do prefer Krispy Kreme's taste--then again, I guess it's normal to prefer the taste of the brand that doesn't nauseate you--it's the fact that Dunkin Donuts physically make me sick. Even the flavors that I like, like maple, chocolate cream, chocolate glazed . . . (And yes, every once in a long while I can't help myself and I try Dunkin Donuts again to see if they still nauseate me. Stupid, I know.)
It's a yeast thing. They're too yeasty.

Oh man...at least you get bagels. I haven't had one for six months, and even then, it didn't have any cream cheese. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
SOLVED!
I asked today when I went and yet AGAIN no berry bagels.
Apparently, they're on backorder! They don't have any at ALL!
Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
Whoa.
Backorder? That can only mean one thing.
This is worse than I thought.
Added to the blasphemous idea of berry bagels we have the heresy of frozen bagels.
