There's something extra special about a Dunkin' Iced Coffee in the morning.

1. The coffee drinks are actually made of coffee, not 1,000 pounds of sugar.

There is no need to 'doctor' up a Dunkin' Coffee; they are perfect the way they are. And that will make your doctor very happy.

2. Dunkin' Donuts - costs $2.50, Starbucks - costs an arm and a leg.

I spend between $2 and $3 on my daily Dunkin' order, depending on what I'm drinking that day. Even on the occasional trip to Starbucks because I have a gift card, I still feel like I am selling them my soul for that $6 cup of diabetes.

3. The DD App has TO-GO Ordering.

Imagine a world where you could order your coffee through an app so it was ready when you got there..... Oh wait.

4. The Food.

There is nothing better than a fresh everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese before your 8 a.m. class. And once again, said bagel does not cost you your left kidney.

5. You can never leave a Dunkin' without a story.

Dunkin' Donuts employees are a rare breed. One time I got one of those expensive tumblers for free because I was wearing his favorite color. Although some strange things happen in DD, you keep going back.

6. EVERY location accepts gift cards.

The most stressful part of going to Starbucks is that you never know if that location will accept your gift card or not. Which is especially stressful when that is the only real money to your name that week. I have yet to come across a Dunkin' that doesn't take their own gift cards at certain locations. Stress free coffee ordering, check.

7. The free coffees speak to you.

After earning 200 points you get a free coffee. Which, if you use your DD app to it's fullest, is about a "Buy 5, Get 1 Free" deal. That's a win in my book.

8. Dunkin has a secret menu just like Starbucks, but longer.

If I told you the secret, it wouldn't be secret anymore now would it? Just kidding. But let me put it this way, if you wanted to try every coffee Dunkin' has the ability to make, it would take you over 40 years according to Secret Menus. My advice is to start now.

9. On EVERY receipt there is a coupon for a free donut if you take the three minutes to complete the survey.

Then once you go in for your free donut with your coffee, that receipt will also have a survey code. The free donuts are endless. (Really, I'm not kidding)

10. And this is how you feel at the end of the day:
