Dunks expanded more internationally before they starting expanding westward in the US. They were overseas back in the 80s, but their expansion to the western states didn't happen in big numbers until the mid 2010s, so I bet people in Seattle wouldn't have gotten the ads back in the day (while the Fred campaign was still a thing in the 90s and earlier.)

Visited Thailand in 2008 and they had a dunks with some weird donut combos. Coffee sucked though.

I know someone who was in Korea a decade or so ago and said Dunks had some insane menu items over there. So yeah…checks out.

When I was there, you could buy a dunks air freshener/perfume and toothbrush with toothpaste.

I was in Barcelona and Rome around 97/98 and remember visiting a Dunkin Donuts.

I remember seeing one randomly in Aruba in 2005. It seemed odd because you never saw them outside of new England back then

They were also in Western NY in the 90s before Tim Hortons moved in.

Funny OP mentioned Colorado. I grew up there, and definitely remember those ads on TV in the 80s. We had a handful of Dunkin locations in Colorado in the 80s but they all failed. I remember going to this one in Boulder!
