So Dunkin' Donuts are frozen..I had a part-time job back in 1972 at a just-built-and-opened Dunkin' franchise in Illinois. I was hired as a donut maker, and the franchise was so new that there was a rep from the Home Office overseeing the operation, showing the franchise owner (who'd invested a couple of hundred thousand dollars) the ropes and personally training the counter people and us donut makers. The policy at the time was the entire stock could never be more than 4 hours old at any given time during business hours, so until we could establish what sold quick and what didn't, it was astonishing how many 4-hour-old donuts, fresh-made on the premises by yours truly and the other folks in the kitchen wound up in the dumpster out back. And boy, there was nothing like an original "Dunkin'" (remember the little built-in handle?)still fresh and warm from the fryer...
