Dunkin’ Donuts Introduces Pork Donuts

By ( ) Comments

Just as Dunkin’ Donuts announced it has signed a deal with NBA megastar LeBron James to help promote the doughy brand in Asia, they also announced that they’ll be introduced pork donuts over in China in an attempt to satiate local tastes. Unfortunately, these “savory donuts“ aren’t the only ones Dunkin’ Donuts are working on, as CEO Nigel Travis puts it, they have “a range of other savory products that [they] have been testing and introducing country by country.” This reminds us of those Meat Munchkins.

On top of the pork donuts, Dunkin’ Donuts said they are working on milk and tea bagels with a pork floss topping for release in China as well.

It hasn’t been announced as to whether or not LeBron James will be directly promoting pork donuts, but if you happen to be in China and see LeBron taking a big bite out of some donuts with shredded pork on top, it wouldn’t be a surprise considering he’s now the Asia brand liaison, and China is a pretty large part of Asia. If you’re wondering exactly why a basketball star is the brand liaison for a donut chain, aside from his huge fanbase in China, the chain is called Dunkin’ donuts, after all.

    Okay, seriously, I want to try one.  Just one.  Why won’t they roll out one of these babies for a limited time in the US?  Like the McRib–no one really likes it, but you have to eat at least ONE when they come out.

    I actually had some of that “pork floss” when I was in China last. It’s actually REALLY good, which is kind of surprising. It was used as a topping on a sort of cream puff type deal. I’m pretty sure when it’s cut that thin they always eat it as a desert. Tasty stuff rat thar!!

    you guys (who make pork products, who eat pork products) really want to attack Jews, Muslims and Adventist Christians by having pork in every restaurant. Very selfish and offensive.

     It is selfish and offensive to use the words “selfish” and “offensive”. Time for more bacon ice cream.

    you guys (who dont make pork products, who dont eat pork products) really want to attack non Jews, Muslims and Adventist Christians by censoring pork in every restaurant. Very selfish and offensive for everyone else.

    To subject everyone else to your tastes rather than simply abstaining is offensive to the rest of us who don’t give a crap about everyone else’s dietary requirements.
