  "story": "Coffee and donuts were paired commercially before either was a chain: Bill Rosenberg's finding, selling food to factories and construction sites in the 1940s, was that donuts and coffee were the two items people bought. He built a company on the pair. The dunking that gave Dunkin' its name was ordinary behaviour first; Johnny Spartos, running the Quincy shop, talked Rosenberg into making a donut with a handle for it.",
  "today": "An independent shop's coffee is rarely the reason to go, and a shop that raises the coffee price before the donut price is telling you where its margin is. *Inference —* that reading is this project's, not a published finding."
