Dunkin' Donuts Egg White Flat Bread Sandwich

[Dignan]

I was watching Mythbusters and there was a not very well done commercial for a Dunkin' Donuts flatbread egg white sandwich. That seems pretty 90's to me, promoting carbs and non-fat protein. Sure you can offer such things, but to make a campaign based on it?

Well, I guess if you're going to introduce new items, you should let people know. And I guess not everyone is low carbing it, so low cal items should expand their market if people who eat like that buy into going to a donut shop to do it. I imagine they lost some former donut eaters to the low carb way, but donuts obviously are not going to be a big part of any diet regime.

So not a big deal overall, but it just really clanked when I heard it. The first thing I thought of was Jerry ordering an egg white omelet in an episode of Seinfeld, circa 1995. To me it would be like ordering a broiled skinless chicken breast.
