"Dunkin had two great donuts, the plain cruller and the original Dunkin donut, and they discontinued both."

Are you sure about that? Perhaps it is your local Dunkin Donuts? I think they are now calling the "cruller" a "cake stick". When you say "original", are you referring to the plain cake donut they offer?

I much prefer Dunkin over Krispy Kreme, although I admit for awhile I thought Krispy Kreme had them beat - but it was just because they were new to the area. KK is too sweet for my tastebuds, and all their donuts taste alike.
