Not to be a buzz killer but

Dunkin' Donuts claim is that people do not want to drink coffee with "fancy" names in French or Italian. as is, this is unsupported speculation.

The commercial and language seem to be a jab at Starbucks because it has sizes that are in another language. more unsupported speculation, original research.

Paradoxically, Dunkin' Donuts has lattes and cappicinos, coffee drinks that are not in English, so Dunkin' Donuts seems to be a bit hypocritical. more unsupported speculation.

One can assume that Dunkin' Donuts is refering to Croissants, sizes such as grande and venti, and coffee drinks that are named in French or Italian. more unsupported speculation.

This is why I removed the link to the Starbucks article. The relationship between Dunkin Donuts "Fritalian" and Starbucks is pure unsupported speculation (original research). Mr Christopher 20:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] considerations

What I wrote above was not meant to say what has been written is not true, it may be, but it lacks cites and supporting evidence so what we are left with are the unsupported conclusions of a Wiki editor (original research. Also, I'm not sure if this article should exist as a stand alone piece or simply be added to the existing Dunkin Donuts article in a "advertising campaign" or similarly named section. I would advise you to bring up the subject on the Dunkin Donuts talk page and see what their opinions may be. I'm not a Wiki expert but I've made enough mistakes to know it's good to invite the opinions of others.

Cited and verified; it is the original intent of the ad agency to attack Starbucks: http://www.adweek.com/aw/esearch/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003119832 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vsevolod4 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, there has to be a significant reason to link the Starbucks article to this one. So far that significance has not been demonstrated. I hope this helps! Mr Christopher 03:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
