Welp, allegedly you can't get donuts from Dunkin', but you can smell like one. In an oddly timed recent announcement, Dunkin has released their own line of donut scented personal care products, including deodorants, body washes, shampoos and conditioners. (See comments for details) But apparently you can't get those at Dunkin' either. You have to go to Walmart or order online.

Dunkin’ dropped the “Donuts” from its brand name years ago. Now — at least in Nebraska, New Mexico and a few other states — it doesn’t have doughnuts on the shelves either.
