Distracting

Posted by Robin on 27 December 2025 8 Comments

Some Massachusetts residents aren’t happy with Dunkin’ Donuts, claiming they’re smelling too much of the company’s sweet treats in their town.

“It smells like donuts, all the time,” Sean Wilson said during a recent Haverhill city council meeting. His grievances were aired by NBC10 Boston in a Tuesday, Dec. 23 news report.

Though his comments were met with laughs, he added that the issue has gone on for “two months” and is “distracting.”

    Better than one workplace of mine, which was upstairs from a Mexican restaurant wholesaler and smelled like cumin all the time!

      I love cumin but that would get equally distracting.

      They’ve done collaborations for candles & body products, but if there has been a perfume to date, I missed it 🙂

        I’m sure if there were one, you would have heard about it Robin.

    Ha, they should try living where I do, across the street from the most popular BBQ place in town–with a constant smell of smoked meat in the air!

      I tried to paste a Jim Carrey “Mask” gif but it wouldn’t let me paste. But you get the joke!
