In the never-ending battle between liberals and conservatives trying to “own” each other, one notable bakery in Pennsylvania might have pulled a clever one, if intentional. In a r/mildlyinfuriating post shared by DaReapear, a local Dunkin’ shop is selling the new Stars & Stripes Munchkins on its menu. The catch is that they are being sold with the label “Sprinkled with Pride,” which is supposed to promote Pride Month. Instead, this shop has been accused of subtly suggesting what the real pride colors are: Red, White, and Blue.
“I think it’s the perfect troll. Nobody knows who should be offended – if at all,” laughed a Redditor. “American pride! God bless America!” exclaimed a second. Dozens upon dozens of others chimed in, claiming the Dunkin’ was supporting national pride instead of LGBTQ pride.
“As a gay woman, I’m proud of my country,” wrote a commenter in agreement with the Dunkin’ shop’s alleged decision. “YEAHHH NOW THAT’S THE PRIDE I SUPPORT!” declared another.
Internet Users Claimed Pride Donuts Aren’t Worth Getting Upset Over
DaReapear didn’t comment with any additional context or thoughts, other than to say that this local Dunkin in Pennsylvania was selling the Stars & Stripes Munchkins during a pride parade. Several people didn’t hesitate to criticize OP for being frustrated over the replacement of LGBTQ pastries.
“Talk about looking for a reason to be upset…” sighed a user. “You’re mad that they didn’t put your preferred color of sprinkles on some munchkins? You must not have many actual problems then,” snapped a second. A third questioned how this post was labeled as infuriating at all and claimed that pride in America isn’t bad.
A host of other commenters theorized that this could have been an ignorant mistake by someone working at Dunkin’. Another theory was that the shop simply ran out of rainbow sprinkles and decided to just go with the Stars & Stripes Munchkins instead. Whatever the case, people from both political sides got undoubtedly heated over some sweets being sold at a bakery, though it all just could be a sly marketing ploy of Dunkin’.
