Bassie has been trying to convince me to switch from Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts now that we’re in Boston. Today she saw someone in our elevator with a DD cup of coffee and said:
“See, Mom. She has Dunkin Donuts. You have to get used to the Bostinities!”
I tried an experiment a few years ago. Walk into a Dunkin Donuts, order a cup of coffee, “regular”. You’ll get a sweet and light coffee.
Walk into another Dunkin Donuts. Order a cup of coffee, but this time, “regulah”. That’s “regular” with a Boston accent. Result: ridiculously light and insanely sweet.
I’ve also tried out Austrialian, Israeli, and Irish accents. No consistent results.
Try it out.
