This gift card case that I picked up at Dunkin’ Donuts this summer would seem to indicate that Dunkin’ Donuts believes their slogan America Runs on Dunkin’ has extended to Trees Run on Dunkin’, or that America=Tree.
There is a slight chance that these gift card cases were overstock from last Christmas (Christmas Trees Run on Dunkin’ or Christmas Runs on Dunkin’?) and simply remained out on the shelf… but that would collapse Dunkin’ Donuts’ grand vision of ecologically diverse coffee dependence and deprive us of these ambitious, yet feasible slogans under the world dependence model:
Forests Run on Dunkin’
Paper Mills Run on Dunkin’
USPS Runs on Dunkin’
Junk Mail Runs on Dunkin’
Landfills Run on Dunkin’
(as a bonus to artists and crafters, we could also add: Papier-mâché Runs on Dunkin’)
