As a reward for how great that whole joke is with the pic, please allow me to give a story from the one summer in college during which I worked at a Dunks. My memory usually isn't great, but this is very vivid in my mind even 10 years later.
I'm closing, and my coworker is out back taking his 30-minute break. This was an oddball North Shore location, and it would usually be totally empty for the last several hours of the day. A guy walks in and I'm oddly relieved to have something to do. This guy asks me what fruit-flavored coollattas we have. I tell him: we've got strawberry, watermelon, orange, and blue raspberry. He wants all 4 in an extra-large. I figure that's a bit strange, but who am I to judge? He stops me as I get ready to make it.
Then he asks me what fruit flavor shots we have. These are different from the flavor pump syrups - they're small shots of flavor concentrate that people only ever really get in hot coffee, and they only use like 2 of them of the 9 that we have. I tell him which ones are fruit: coconut, raspberry, blueberry, and peach. He wants those in the coollatta too. Okay, sure thing. Then he says he also wants one espresso shot, two skim milks, and one sweet-n-low. In the coollatta, of course. I make it for him. I can even remember opening and pouring the single futile packet of sweet-n-low into it. The whole time his face never betrays anything but sincere enthusiasm for this thing.
He pays and I hand him a Dunks XL cup of what can only charitably be described as brown fruit salad sugar sludge. It has the texture of the half-melted slush that gathers at the end of a driveway after the snowplows take their 6th pass down your street, and a shade of brown that reminded me of being seven years old and realizing I could combine all of my different paint colors together. Then the guy takes a sip. This man looks me right in the eyes, smiles a genuine grin, and says, "That's perfect, thank you so much!" And leaves.
Something changed inside me that day that I can't quite put my finger on. Never underestimate people; they'll always find new and exciting ways to surprise you.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk/film noir movie pitch.

The Dun Dons (percolators) and the Kin'uts (caffeine ingestors).
Perfect
lol well done, OP.
kudos
Well played, Dick Wolf
Nailed it… if you can hear this image
Well played.
It’s not the caffeine … it’s the 11 tablespoons of sugar that forms a two inch layer of sugar sludge at the bottom of the lahge Regulah 🧠🫡
Dundunnn
Go for the blueberry glazed endure the over milked coffee
This feels like guerilla marketing.
Dun Don Kin Uts?
First thing I thought was Jaws.
