I’m writing today to express concern about my discovery this morning that you have changed the way you make Apple Fritters.

Upon the merits, this managerial decision does not survive scrutiny. What we had before was an exquisite bumpy landscape of crispy donut and glaze heaven that erupted in delightful surprises of apple filling. What we have now is an ordinary donut dressed up sadly in dime-store Apple Fritter clothing. Before, every fritter was a different experience as one nibbled down from various angles in hunt of crunchy goodness parts and nipped at the soft underbelly spots of apple filling. Now, it matters not where one begins and ends. The new version is a lazy Halloween costume of an Apple Fritter but, ah, the old version is Alice In Wonderland, lovingly handsewn by Mom- and it charms the neighborhood.

What’s next? We have a demagogue for President, the disrespect of the world, domestic racial and judicial strife, political division bordering on Civil War, a Pandemic wildfire that is killing tens of thousands of our loved ones and wrecking the dreams of hard-working business owners and now you want to dumb down the Apple Fritter?

For shame, Dunkin Donuts. Please restore the original Apple Fritter, and, I daresay, the hope that some of the best part of America will survive these dark times.
