Dunkin' Joins The Bottled Coffee Market

The feud between Starbucks and Dunkin' is heating up with an announcement from Coca-Cola. The soft drink giant will start selling bottled Dunkin' products for "Dunkers" everywhere. No longer will you have to search for a Dunkin' Donuts shop for your favorite iced coffee.

No matter what side of the fence you stand on, one thing's for sure, you probably go to one of these coffee shops. From coffee to tea, croissants to doughnuts, even sandwiches and at some locations alcohol, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks account for a lot of empty pockets. Of course, there is always a feud between the two biggest competitors.

According to ABC News, "The average American worker spends nearly $14.40 a week on coffee, which does not include the cost of drinking coffee at home. Data is shown to indicate that the average worker spends around $1,100 annually on coffee."

In an announcement that came out Thursday, Dunkin' Brands Group said it would start selling "ready-to-drink" coffee products in stores across the country.

The announcement follows an announcement last month that Dunkin' Donuts would be releasing its cold brew, a move Starbucks made in early 2015. The long-awaited release of the drink seems to have prompted Dunkin' to do the same this year.

Along with cold brew and the newly introduced "ready-to-drink" venture, Dunkin has recently expanded its reach into single-serve-K-cups that can be found at all major grocery stores in the country.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the move by Dunkin' Brands Group is all part of a major push to increase customer interest in Dunkin's coffee which accounts for roughly 50 percent of the company's profits.

Though bottled Starbucks doesn't account for the greatest amount of profit for the company, the company has opened up the market for quick and easy coffee beverages that can be sold at gas stations, a market that Dunkin' and Coca-Cola is ready to enter.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
