Dunkin’ has listened and FINALLY decided to bring back Butter Pecan coffee flavor FOR GOOD. Dunkin’ issued a press release saying they’re bringing the flavor back April 26th and it’ll have a permanent spot on the menu. The initial launch of butter pecan came in 2013 and has become Dunkin’s second most popular flavor, right behind the elusive pumpkin flavor. Petitions were made and Dunkin’ listened. According to Dunkin’s chief marketing officer Jill McVicar Nelson “On the 10-year anniversary of Butter Pecan Swirl’s debut, we knew it was time to make this adored flavor a core menu staple. The requests from guests and our Dunkin’ teammates to make this Swirl a regular offering are staggering. We’re thrilled to finally grant their wish, making this a permanent delight for Dunkin’ fans to savor all year long.”
This got us thinking. There are so many snack foods from our past that we all wish would come back. Food that as soon as you think about it, brings back memories of your childhood. Old school food that when you think of it, brings a tingle to your body. Whether it’s a snack food, a meal or a drink there are quite a few.
You voted!
We asked our listeners to give us their foods. You said everything from the steak egg and cheese sandwich from McDonald’s, the Arch Deluxe at McDonald’s, “Home Girl chips” and Chico Sticks to Burger King breakfast bowls. There were dozens of entries, but we picked the ones we felt had either multiple entries OR that were the most popular back in the day.
Why take our old school foods?
The question is: why do these companies choose to release these amazing foods, only for us to fall in love with them and then take them away? It happens all the time. Did they do it to create a buzz so people will get all up in arms and demand they be brought back? Were the recipes just too complicated or expensive to make? Whatever the reason, it seems every year a food or a snack that you once loved is no longer available.
