It was a pretty good scam going until someone recognized the sprinkles. If it hadn't been for those pesky sprinkles.

The first image in the slideshow shows a doughnut with pink frosting, dotted with magenta and orange D-shaped sprinkles. Stengell said he became concerned when he noticed that the sprinkles bear an uncanny resemblance to Dunkin’s and that the doughnut looked different than the rest of the order. He says he removed the doughnuts from sale before contacting Siriani in the hopes of clearing things up.

What idiots. If you're gonna pass Dunkin donuts off as your own, don't get the ones with the logo on them...
