Dunkin Donuts has really put me on an emotional roller coaster of late.
In my half-assed effort to stop drinking caffeine, I decided to splurge last week on an iced-coffee when I was feeling like I needed to treat myself. It was no big deal, really, because it was just this once. I could quit any time I wanted too. Promise.
And then I got hit with this bad boy.

Great...So maybe I'll quit caffeine on 1/1/13.
Yesterday I decided to treat myself again. But this time it was decaf so I had no shame in my game...And then I saw these in the store.
Whoever thought of the marketing ploy to get people to go IN the store because of the $1.49 re-usable plastic cup deal and then be tempted by the $14 "Limited Time" K-cups deserves an award for trickery. I'm not even mad that I fell for it, that's genius!
Like a coffee Puma to it's prey, the barista behind the counter noticed my vulnerability to this seasonal delight and promised me that "they are going fast". Naturally, I bought a pack. So not only does that delay my quit-date by at least 12 days (12 in a box), it also made my $1.49 coffee cost about $14. How's that for an ass-backwards attempt at self-control?

Oh well, at least K-Cups have no calories, right? Right?? Oh sweet Jesus, I'ma need to Google that.
