CupThere was hilarious post in my RSS feeder tonight. Apparently Beth Feldman brought Dunkin Donuts to her child’s bake sale and was turned away by the school – a shame. Feldman, being the great PR person, responded as only a PR would – hilarious, subversive advertising. Let’s support Beth Feldman’s crusade to get Dunkin Donuts accepted at local bake sales!

Beth Feldman, a 37-year-old New Rochelle mom and public relations executive, sells a T-shirt with the message “I don’t do cupcakes” on her Role Mommy Web site.

The idea came from the real-life experience of being snubbed at a school bake sale for bringing Dunkin’ Donuts, a story she tells in her book, “Peeing in Peace: Tales and Tips for Type A Moms.”

“Women who can relate to what we’re all going through are going to laugh when they see the shirts,” Feldman said. “You don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”

Young moms also want to look cute, and hot if possible. The “cupcakes” shirt might have a feminist message, but it also has pink glitter and rhinestones.

I got an email over the weekend from Merlin “Duke” Snyder of Indianapolis asking for a petition to bring more Dunkin Donuts to Indianapolis right away.

…I want to share with you that obviously, in my opinion, Indianapolis is literally if not figuratively starving for Dunkin Donuts!
I can tell you that I have averaged at least 2 phone inquiries per month these past 2 years asking, among several different questions, if we are open 24/7!
Just wanted to share with you that although my survey is totally unscientific I can tell you that if, and I DO NOT HAVE, I had the financial resources needed to open locations in the metro Indianapolis market I am 99% certain I would jump to do so.

Feel free to show this email to any prospective developer.
Meantime, continued success to you.
Sincerely yours,
Merlin “Duke” Snyder

If you would like to bring more Dunkin Donuts to Indianapolis sign this online petition.
