Hey jon bois i've always hated your work because everybody knows that america is fueled by honeydew bagels. I know this as my truth but perhaps there's 4 little words that can change my mind
That’s not a true story. French family scoffing at a McDonald’s suggestion checks out, but then calling Dunkin’ Donuts a “nice place for breakfast”? No. No, no. Creative writing gone amok.
“You cannot possibly suggest the the real target if the 9/11 attacks was the Dunkin’ Donuts inside the towers. What possible strategic value could that have to harm the country?”
The only way you lose this argument is if the other person immediately breaks out a bottle of Gatorade, take a drink, looks you in the eye and says “This has what plants need.”
the question is will it end up being "america runs on DUNKIN" "american RUNS on dunkin" or "AMERICA runs on dunkin" or maybe the elusive "america runs ON dunkin"
Jeez, you wait a darn minute there. That’s a heck of a thing to say. You betcha there are boring places. But would I rather be in Chicago than Newark? You’re darn tootin.’

I like to drop fake story endings/punchlines when someone new joins a conversation.

America runs on Dunkin'
Whether you’re arguing or corroborating with Duncan doesn’t matter, it’s still the easiest pathway towards your goal.
You:
jon bois: "AMERICA RUNS ON DUNKIN'"
jon bois: "AMERICA RUNS ON DUNKIN'"
but of course
(Actually, it doesn't. America runs on Starbucks here on the West Coast.)
