America runs on Dunkin'Dunkin Donuts has started a new campaign that focuses on their roots - America Runs on Dunkin’. According to the Dunkin Donuts website the campaign will focus on “how everyday people get things done, every day.” The initial commercials show people going about their daily business holding their Dunkin Donuts Coffee and Donuts.

The commercial reminds me of a throw back commercial with it’s corny, yet catchy jingle. You can view the commercials online at the Dunkin Donuts website.

    Where can I find the “karate” commercial? Can’t find it anywhere on the web but I’ve found lots of discussions where people are looking for it. You should really capitalize on this.

    There are a lot of people looking for the karate commercial. I’ll see if I can track it down, but I haven’t found it yet online anywhere. I’ll see if I can find someone at DD corporate who can dig it up for us.

    I would like to get a copy of the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìkarate?¢‚Ǩ¬ù commercial.
    Despite what I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve seen about the negative ?¢‚Ǩ?ìkarate?¢‚Ǩ¬ù comments, it is a catchy jingle. It works.

    The Karate ad on television is a phenomenally good one - VERY memorable. It’s &%^ing irritating, but it just draws the audience in. I’m old enough to be driving those kids around, but I only have one kid and no minivan.

    I want a copy of the ad.

    I’m glad that Dunkin’ Donuts is getting popular. I find Starbucks way too pretentious.

    As a five day a week karate Mom and coffee drinker, I would love a dunkin donuts karate shirt! I think you should expand on the great commercial. Ditto to seeing it online. I have a friend in Texas who wants to see it.

    Back on topic here…”America Runs On Dunkin’ “. The acronym for that slogan spells “AROD”. As a Red Sox fan I don’t like it, not one little bit, no no.

    I am gonna post about new ad campaign by Dunkin Donuts tomorrow on my website. I would have link to both the “Karate” and “Backs of my legs” commerical. Let me know if you find links to the new “Its like one million degrees” commerical they have out now.

    hi,
    i stumbled on the site looking for the “Its like one million degrees” song,
    its awsome,
    but i cant eat any of your donuts,
    my immune system acts hostially to gluten,
    found in all breads, wheat, barly, oats ect.
    its called celiac disease,
    maybe it would be interesting to look into,
    a lot of people dont even know they have it.

    You have no idea how addicted I am to your iced coffee - blueberry and toasted almond are my drug. Every time someone brings me one while at work, I take a photo of myself using my camera phone. I think your iced coffee is the only thing that makes me happy some days.

    Who is the guy playing the guitar sitting in the middle of the park? He has a pony tail and a hat on,and he appears first at a distance, then the second time the camera is right on him. It’s driving me crazy! Thanks! It’s a great commercial.
