Dunkin Donuts would like to make something very clear:
Unlike certain other famous establishments out there, it does NOT hate Jesus Christ.
The popular chain unveiled its 2015 holiday coffee cups on Wednesday, releasing to the public a styrofoam container with the word “Joy” surrounded by a clear symbol of the season:
Branches of a Christmas tree.
This design stands in stark contrast to the plain red cups favored by Starbucks this year, items that have resulted in protests around the country.
One patron believes that Starbucks really does hate Jesus, while Donald Trump is threatening a Starbucks boycott.
It’s not hard to understand why. Just look at these abominations!
Dunkin Donuts has clearly won this round.
Just consider the following Tweets, all of which were written without jest or irony in response to the chain’s joyful cup selection:
- Joy. I love that word – it’s profound – and captures true meaning of Christmas. @DunkinDonuts gets it right.
- Hey @Starbucks, while you y’all are busy being The Grinch, @DunkinDonuts is running circles around you guys.
- There’s nothing like waking up and worshiping God with your friends in the morning at dunkin donuts.
- Way to go Dunkin Donuts …the coffee tastes better, doesnt cost and you kept it festive !
- In response to Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A now offers fresh coffee in a replica of the actual Holy Grail.
Okay, that last one was written in jest. But effectively so!
Time to sound off, readers.
Does Dunkin Donuts really love Jesus and Christmas more than Starbucks? Is this a legitimate controversy?
Or is it the most ridiculous thing in the history of all of mankind?
