BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: DUNKIN’ DONUTS’ WAFFLE BREAKFAST SANDWICH

March 3, 2010 by

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: DUNKIN’ DONUTS’ WAFFLE BREAKFAST SANDWICH

New Dunkin’ Donuts survey asks what else Americans want to “bring back” with Polaroid pictures and pay phones topping the list

There’s no “waffling” amongst Dunkin’ Donuts guests – they want the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich back and beginning today, they get their wish. Following strong customer feedback, Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, has reintroduced the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich.

Back by popular demand, the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich is a sweet and savory, Oven-Toasted sandwich featuring scrambled eggs, sausage and American cheese between two maple-infused waffles. The Waffle Breakfast Sandwich is available for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants throughout the country and has a suggested retail price of $2.99. Dunkin’ Donuts became the first national quick service restaurant chain to serve a breakfast sandwich featuring waffles when the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich was introduced last spring.

To celebrate the return of the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, in February, Dunkin’ Donuts conducted a survey* of more than 500 people to find out what other popular cultural items people would be excited to see come back. According to the results:

  • Not everyone is going digital. 33% of Americans miss Polaroid pictures; while 26% of Americans long for the days of pay phones, once ubiquitous in cities and towns.
  • Rachel and Ross or Sam and Diane? 27% of those surveyed wish their ‘Friends’ would order up another cup of coffee at Central Perk, while 21% would rather watch the cast of ‘Cheers’ meet up at the bar.
  • Sorry to those of you who still cruise around in your AMC Pacer. The Pontiac GTO and Chevrolet El Camino are the top two cars Americans wish to see on the market again at 32% and 26% respectively.
  • And of all the outdated fashion trends, only 2% of those surveyed were interested in bringing back balloon pants. However, 20% still long for the 70s and the days of bell bottom pants.

To support the return of the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, Dunkin’ Donuts will celebrate “Waffle WeDDnesdays” on Twitter (www.twitter.com/dunkindonuts). Each Wednesday the company will ask followers what they are waffling about. Customers who tag their response “#WaffleWeDDs” and tweet it to @DunkinDonuts have a chance to win a $60 Dunkin’ Donuts Card.

The Waffle Breakfast Sandwich isn’t the only item the company is bringing back this month. To help Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Dunkin’ Donuts is once again serving the “Lucky Dozen” donut, a raised yeast ring with chocolate icing topped with white and yellow sprinkles and green clovers for the suggested retail price of 89 cents. Dunkin’ Donuts will also offer a “Spring Showers” donut, a raised yeast ring with chocolate icing topped with rainbow nonpareils for the suggested retail price of 89 cents and Munchkins® donut hole treats topped with rainbow nonpareils for the suggested retail price of $4.49 for a 25 count box. Participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide are also offering two Bacon, Egg & Cheese Wake-Up Wraps with a medium coffee for the special value price of $3.99.

Finally, last month Dunkin’ Donuts brought back its “Create Dunkin’s Next Donut” contest, offering people the chance to create their own donut masterpiece for the chance to win $12,000 and have their donut creation sold at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide. Submissions will be accepted through March 8 at www.DunkinDonuts.com/donut.

Was your Valentine’s Day Commercial or Unconventional?

February 15, 2010 by

What did you do/get for Valentine’s Day? Did you get flowers that will die in a few days or chocolates that are going to add inches to your waistline? I know, you got another wallet picked out by a salesperson.

Caravan Opinion Research conducted a telephone survey of 1000 Americans and revealed that 2/3 of them prefer thoughtful gestures like a romantic dinner date or practical gifts like a Dyson vacuum over diamonds and spa treatments.

Rob and I don’t really exchange gifts; we do cards and usually a special meal out. This year we went to a local restaurant for their superb crabcakes for me and prime rib for him.. For us spending a bit of quality ALONE time together is what’s important for Valentine’s Day not dropping a small fortune just for the sake of saying Happy Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong diamonds are awesome and I’m not going to turn them down but I prefer something that has some thought or meaning behind it.

Next year take a moment to think about what is important about Valentine’s Day. Celebrate those that you love and love you back with something from the heart and the head not from what society tells you is acceptable gift-giving.

See Kai Run "Share a Pair" events donates 2,400 paris of shoes

December 21, 2009 by

During this season of giving, See Kai Run, popular manufacturer of the perfect first shoe for new walkers, is making sure that for every pair of shoes sold during November at its retail Web site (http://www.seekairun.com/), a pair also goes to a child in need. As a result of the matching event which ended November 30, 2009, See Kai Run will donate nearly 2,500 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls before the year’s end.

Soles4Souls is an international charity dedicated to providing footwear to disadvantaged people around the world. Their global efforts primarily target orphanages throughout Central and South America, Europe and Africa. According to Soles4Souls, over 300 million children world-wide have never had one pair of shoes. With this donation, See Kai Run will have shared a total of over 36,000 pairs of shoes to children who need them the most. “Share A Pair” is part of See Kai Run’s overall charitable giving campaign, which focuses on international, national, and local charities for children. See Kai Run would like to thank its customers for making donations such as these possible.

About See Kai Run
See Kai Run and Smaller promote healthy development of babies’ and children’s feet with their ultra-flexible soles, soft leather and wide toe box. Our footwear meets the American Podiatric Medical Association’s rigorous standards for foot health and functionality and has been awarded the APMA’s prestigious Seal of Acceptance. Retail price starts at $32.

See Kai Run is a family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington. The idea was born when founder Cause Haun was on a quest for the perfect first pair of shoes for her son, Kai. Unable to find shoes in fun styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, Cause and her husband created their own line of shoes that satisfied all these needs. See Kai Run celebrates its fifth anniversary this year and proudly looks back at their expansion from a few boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area, to stores all around the country and worldwide. Please visit www.seekairun.com for additional information.

About Soles4Souls
Soles4Souls facilitates the donation of shoes, which are used to aid the hurting worldwide. Everyone from shoe companies to retailers and individuals can donate footwear (both new and used). The Soles4Souls team has used the gift of shoes in the relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. More than 900,000 pairs were collected for these disasters. For more information, visit http://www.giveshoes.org/.

Walmart announces 3 days of Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters

December 19, 2009 by

With only a few days left for holiday shopping, Walmart announces more big savings plans, now on the smaller and in some cases most requested gift items. Starting Saturday and through next week, stores will have incredible savings on last minute gifts, including a Monday through Wednesday offer of $8 Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters.

Speaking of $8 toys, Walmart is also rolling back the price on many perfect stocking-stuffer toys and last-minute gifts to $8 and adding a special offer with this year’s new iPod Nano to last through Christmas Eve.

Sat., Dec. 19: iPod Nano with $50 iTunes Gift Card
Walmart will offer the new 8GB iPod Nano for $145 with a free $50 iTunes gift card with purchase, while supplies last, starting this Saturday through Dec. 24.
While many parents remember when yo-yos and candy was the typical stocking stuffer, shoppers now say that stocking gifts today are going more hi-tech. Forty percent of moms say they will add in gift cards to stockings this year, and almost 45 percent of moms are planning to purchase music related gifts.

Sun., Dec. 20: $8 Toys and More Stocking Stuffers for Kids:
This weekend Walmart stores will introduce a new price message – $8 toys, at 20 – 50 percent savings, including:

  • Jenga Hand Held game
  • Barbie Fashionista Dolls
  • Pixos Starter Pack
  • Moon Sand kit
  • Nerf-n-Force Sword
  • Little Pet Shop Deco pets

Mon. – Wed. Morning Events for Zhu Zhu Hamsters
Today, hundreds of thousands of these sought-after robotic hamsters are making their way to Walmart via airplanes and trucks across the country, as Walmart stores prepare to help find them a new home for Christmas.

Starting at 7 a.m. each morning of Dec 21, Dec 22 and Dec. 23 Walmart stores nationwide will un-cage the popular Zhu Zhu Hamsters in special morning sales events. Anticipating high interest, stores will be organizing lines in the hours before the 7 a.m. event each day as needed, and customers will be assigned numbers as lines build, as supplies last. Customers will be limited to one per person, and distributions will vary, with a minimum of 20 per day at smaller stores to more than 60 per day in most stores.

More Savings on Last Minute Gifts in Entertainment and Hardware
In addition to $8 toys, Walmart will be carrying a selection of favorite hit movies of the past, now on DVD, for only $4. In addition, Walmart’s savings of $10 on select video games and $19.96 Blu-ray hit movies of the season continues through Dec. 24.

Additional features to start this Sunday include an assortment of great Tools and Gifts for Dad, including:

  • $5 Roadmaster 12-volt Heated Stainless Steel Vacuum Mug
  • $5 Stanley 25’ Lever Lock Measuring Tape with 3 inch Mini Tape
  • $5 Winchester 12-Function Multi Tool
  • $19 TaylorMade Burner TP golf balls (pack of 12)

Designed in conjunction with the game, the cutting edge wireless controller allows for unprecedented freedom and movement. Players of all experience levels will have the chance to feel what it’s really like to skate.

Some of the key features of the game include:

Gamers can experience a full range of movement as they rotate, tilt and lift the board in a variety of ways to discover new tricks in the game.

• Exciting, Immersive and Social Game Play: Tony Hawk: RIDE features a diverse set of trick, vert, and speed challenges that allow players to take on their friends and family as they compete with each other via “Hot Seat” game play.
