Blowin' Smoke

We all know that Rachael Ray shills for Dunkin Doughnuts. Rachael " Exudes a certain air of authority that should be useful to Dunkin', especially when she takes a sip of her coffee and authoritatively declares it "delish,"" according to the Chicago Sun Times.

But does she actually drink their coffee? I'm not so sure.

Back in January, Grub Street published the following...

"A friend of Grub Street writes us:

So a friend of mine was on set last week as Rachael Ray filmed her latest Dunkin' Donuts commercial. According to her, Rachael stormed onto the set and snapped at everyone. Not news, I know, everyone knows she's actually a gigantic asshole. BUT! I am also told she took one sip of her Dunkin' Donuts coffee, yelled “What is this shit? Get me MY coffee,” and would not continue until she was given “her” coffee — i.e., Starbucks."



It gets worse. Look at what the mail man delivered today, Every Day With Rachael Ray. In the June/July 2008, Every Day With Rachael Ray on page 36, Rachael sings the praises of Newsbar, writing....

"I always drop by this bustling coffee shop for the the great iced coffee and tea and yummy sandwiches."

Hmm, what exactly does Dunkin Doughnuts sell? Coffee? Iced Coffee? Tea? Yummy Sandwiches? All of the above if you listen to Rachael's TV ads.

So which is it Rach? Dunkin Doughnuts? Starbucks? Newsbar? Do you even drink Dunkin Doughnuts coffee or eat their food? Or are you just another corporate shill?
