Dunkin' vs. 7-Eleven Taste Test

Where should you be getting your breakfast? Dunkin' or 7-11? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know those mornings where everything goes wrong? You sleep through your alarm, you can't find your matching socks. Your dog refuses to give you a good morning kiss on the mouth? Yeah, after all we've done for him. On those kind of mornings, you just don't have the time to make yourself a good balanced breakfast.

in perfectly brewed cup of coffee. So here's what you do. You stop to grab a quick breakfast on the way to work. But you got options. You can get in line at Dunkin or make a mad dash through a 7-11. But which place is really making better breakfast? It's time for Food Fued, Dunkin' versus 7-11. Okay, boys, today is a very special day. It's the last Food Feud of the year. Which means. at the end of the episode, we're going to crown the mythical crew tournament winner who will get.

a Food Feuds letterman's jacket. and their choice of snack to stock in the office for all of 2025. The top four contenders are here with us today. We have Lisa and Silaine. tied for first with 50 points, Lauren in third with 49 points, and Amy in fourth with 48 points. How are y'all doing? They hate each other. Look at them. I can't look at them. Look at them. Look at how angry they are with each other. Can I just make an observation? I mean, I know women are smarter than men.

but we got a lot of guys here. Guys, what's up? Where my boys at? What are you? We're guys. You should know us. What are you? Y'all. Y'all just lazy. You not checking your emails or something? Okay, before we get started with our first matchup, I have a hankerin for some culinary focused mansplaining. Yeah, here's a boy.

You may have heard the saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but did you know that it was popularized in the 19th century by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg with the sole purpose of selling boxes of their small. dried sugar cubes they call cereal? So was breakfast actually important or is it just a scam perpetuated by. generation upon generation of serial. Cereal capitalism? Should you be spending your precious morning hours preparing eggs, toast, sausage and a cappuccino and your fancy espresso machine that you got from your. wedding registry that you honestly kind of regret because you would.

have just prefer the cash instead, or. can you get your breakfast fast? And on the breakfast track, where should you go? Somewhere that has been Keeping America running for over 70 years. Or a place that has been taking the idea of convenience all the way to 11. since. the. 1920s. Today, these two men sat before me are embarking on a dangerous and essential journey. to find the answer that has been plaguing the minds of people. The moment their heads hit their pillows in the morning, where should you go for the day's first bite that will set you up right?

Some sort of lock on it... Thanks, Josh. Thank you, Link. Okay, we're going to kick things off by wrapping things up. On Rhett's side is the Dunkin' bacon, egg and cheese wake up wrap for $3.65. And on Link's side is the 7-11 bacon breakfast taco for $2.79. What? Did it freeze?

What in the world? Yours soft. I was just gonna eat yours. No, it's hard. It's as hard as a rock. All right, well, you know what? It's not morning here anymore. I'm gonna get to some soft parts. Oh, my goodness. All right, here we go. Hold on a second. I don't understand what happened. That's how they showed up. All right. Okay. This is. Okay, maybe this. Maybe they're supposed to be hard. I don't. We'll just assume they're not supposed to be.

Well. It's pretty crispy. I'm gonna try to give Dunkin'. the benefit of the doubt. I mean, look what happened to the cheese on the back of that thing. I'd have to get it put in a rock tumbler before I can make sure. it doesn't cut my innards. It actually doesn't taste that bad. It's just hard. It tastes like. Tastes like a microwave. breakfast taco. Just because something gets hard doesn't mean it doesn't taste good anymore.

Now this one here, this one's pretty soft, man. And it looks like a nice little hash in there. So. what? It's just funny the way you said nice little hash. Like everything's chopped together. I kinda wanna take a bite out of the middle. How does 7-11 do this? Do they assemble it there or is it just shipped in and then they just heat it up? There's no way this is not just frozen and then heated up. People who work at 7-11 didn't sign up to be making breakfast... You know what I'm saying?

So both of these are very. microwavish. type vibes. I'll say that. the consistency of this leaves a lot to be desired. compared to, like, an actual big piece of egg and bacon. That is as hard as a rock. But this one has not only Monterey cheese, but nacho cheese. And that's why it gets to be so juicy in there. So I like this one a little better. than that one. I like it better, too, because this is so hard. But if I remove the hardness and I'm just going on flavor and ingredients,

I actually prefer the Dunkin' but, I don't think either one of them is that great. I give this a 6. I'm completely unimpressed. I'm gonna give Dunkin' a 4. I'm revising my score. 5. It's bad. Revise it again. Give it a four. I like the taste. I do like the taste. I don't know. It's kind of grossing me out. I would be happy if I ordered that and got it. Three. I'm giving it a three. I'm going to give it a three as well. Let's just forget this round happened. Three, but keep the score.

Next up, we have a little pick me up some coffee. On Rhett's side, we have Dunkin's latte for $4.99 and Dunkin's cold brew with. vanilla syrup for $5.09. And on Link's side, we have 7-11's latte for $2.99 and a cold brew with vanilla syrup for $2.99. So they do it with the vanilla syrup is how they do it. Lot cheaper over here. Well, that's just the one that we happen to be drinking. Let's start with the cold, shall we? We shall. Dink it. I don't ever really get cold brew iced.

Not from. Not from here. With French vanilla syrup. Pretty tasty. Pretty strong. I mean, it's hard for me without cream, but that's okay. That's okay. I'll take it. But we need to compare it directly to another cold one. Let's go cold cold, then, hot hot. Lot of straw happening here. Why this much straw? You want to go that deep down the throat with the straw? Yeah, sometimes. Oh, man, that's going to go through. That's going to hit my brain.

Well, please drink it, because I wonder if you have the same opinion... It is not good. It's not. It makes the Dunkin' Coffee really stand out. What in the world? In 7-11 they left something to be desired. What did they do? Now, just a latte? Yeah. It's okay. What if we were just two friends who... lived in Manhattan and we met on the subway.

on our way to work? We never had become who we are and we never did this show. but we liked to do these sort of taste tests. And so we would stop at the Dunkin' and we would sit on the subway. We would sit next to each other and we would sip at the same time. Just like that. Like we did. And then we would make observations like, it's kind of tasteless after the iced one. We should have done them in the other order. And how long did we have to do that before people started writing about it?

Writing about it? Stephen King, we're waiting. Stevie, if you didn't know us and you also worked in Manhattan. and you spent a few weeks. on the same commute. and you saw us, would you speak to us? Watch out, now. That's a little hotter. Yes, I would speak over the loudspeaker. of the subway car. Oh, you would. be a conductor. Now, my notes tell me that the 7-11 latte is not just a drink,

it is a phenomenon. The 7-11 coffee. is so sweet, but it tastes so much better because of that. I would never get this much sugar in anything that I drink. It's not just a drink, though. It's a phenomenon. It's so much better. The latte from 7-11 is so as much better as the iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. is than the iced coffee from 7-11. They completely cancel each other out. I'm actually going to give an edge to the 7-11.

Cause it's that good. When I give it a score of. 7. And what are you going to give. 7-11 if you want to start here? Six. You give 7-11 a 6 over here? All right. And I'm going to give Dunkin'. a five. Whoa. I'm giving Dunkin' a six as well. Because I thought they completely canceled each other out. Yep. I didn't do that. Did y'all anticipate any of that? No, not at all. None of you? No, we all were banking on Dunkin'. I know.

Because it's coffee. 7-11 won in his mind. And you think that the Dunkin Donuts coffee's gonna be better, but I gotta tell you, It wasn't and already did tell you. We know you have. mush more room. in your pin collection for these two fun guys. Yep. They're two mushrooms that are us. You get it? Shop. November's pin of the month, available for 24. hours. only. now at mythical.com. Well, that's not a lot of time. Okay. We're taking things up several notches here.

Moving on to donuts on Rhett's side, from Dunkin', you have a glazed and a chocolate frosted for $2.15 each and a. maple long john for $2.69. And on Link's side from 7-11, you have a glaze and a chocolate frosted for $2.09 and a maple. flavored bar for $2.39. So we have a Long John... over here and we just have a bar over there. Same stuff, though. I want to do an apples to apples. Let's pull.

I mean, Dunkin' Donuts has to be better than 7-11. That's what they do. You would think, but neither of them is Krispy Kreme. Don't mention that. Pull. Pull. Pull. Hmm, that's better. I would say they're. I would say they're kind of the same. I don't think it's better. The glaze is way better. On the 7-11 donut.

There's a lot more glaze. I will say that. Yeah. And it tastes better. All right, now let's taste the chocolate. I think they're pretty incomparable. How could that be? Chocolate. gotta be good. It's good. This is a darker chocolate. Oh, gosh. I'm destroying it a little bit. Now that's not as good. Too dry. the donut... The donut's super dry. The donuts bonk.

Once again, they cancel each other out. So. we're gonna use the Long John. It comes down to the Long John. Let's figure out who has a better donut. I mean, we're doing what we're doing. Cause it's happening. Pull. You didn't need. I could have done that. One time. on the long John. All right. I was trying to be helpful. When a man's got a Long John, two guys can hold each side of it. That's good. I'm having to think about. a wider experience of donuts here.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I want to do that because. I'm not gonna just sit here and say based on. just these three donuts that I don't know what a Dunkin' Donut is capable of. It's still one of the better donuts out there. But I haven't had 7-11. I haven't either. So do I need to compare it to what's on the plate or what's in my mind. that's gonna give 7-11. short shrift? It's not as good. as a Dunkin' Long John.

The Dunkin is a. very slight favorite. What I've Learned. it's a softer donut. Is that 7-11 got some pretty decent donuts. And if you go to Japan, you wouldn't believe all the stuff that 7-11's got. Yeah. Yeah. You can rent a car. You can take a nap in a spacious. environment with a home theater. Have you been? Lando's just been telling me all about it. Oh, he might be lying. Yeah, he's full of lies. What 14 year old isn't? I'm not impressed with either one of these. Dunkin' Donuts, 6.

Dunkin' Donuts. I know what you're capable of, and this showing just didn't do it. But I'm still gonna give you a seven. All right, I'm gonna do that. 7-11. Five. 7-11. You've surprised me. I'm gonna give you a six. Huh? Okay. Silaine. is. doing some deep breathing. I think they probably all thought that Duncan was gonna win that round. I got a 7-11 glazed on oak this morning, and it was really good. And so I picked 7-11. Really? It's surprisingly good.

The glazed is better. The glazed is better. I'm sorry. It's not Krispy Kreme, though. Okay, it's time for a little brain freeze with two blue raspberry frozen drinks. On Rhett's side is Dunkin's Coolatta. for $4.89, and on Link's side is 7-11 Slurpee for $2.19. So Dunkin' is trying to take a page from 7-11 here. And I love a good coolatta. Never had it. This is good. It's not too sweet, and that's what I like about it. I don't. When's the last time you unironically ordered a Slurpee or a Coolatta?

How would you ironically order one? Just to, like, to be seen in, like, a hipster community? Yeah. As, like, part of a costume. I mean, honestly, I just don't drink this kind of. I've just never ordered it. unironically, ironically, or onically. I don't like it. I don't like this kind of thing. Try the Big Gulp. Big Gulp's got a really. good logo. I like that. That's a. classic slushy taste.

It's sweeter. The consistency of the ice. is. It's like they. shaved it and then they shaved it again. It's so fine. There's a magic to it that Dunkin' is just not capable of. Dunkin is almost crushing their ice. And I would say that 7-11. twice as sweet. It's a different technology. Something about that aftertaste is. very... Nostalgic. S lush. Oh, here it comes. Put your hand on the back of your neck.

It's a mild one. I can handle it. I can get through it. Just don't look at me. Put your hand on the back of your neck. I got through it. It was a mild one. I think you're supposed to put your hand on the back of your neck. and pray to the ice God. It was a 3.9 on the rector scale. See, my thing is, I don't hate this. I don't hate this. I give it a six. I don't like it. I give it a four. Okay. This over here is clearly. Clearly classic.

for what it is. I feel like I don't want any more of it, though, to be honest with you. I feel like I had the experience. It's more carbonated, too. It's just got so. It's got more bite to it. It's got more flavor to it. It is sweeter. I could not drink the whole thing. And I appreciate the technology behind this. Eight. I don't like it that much. What did I give this? A four? Six. Okay. 7-11 coming on strong. Okay. It's anyone's game from the crew side of things and from the brand side of things, and it all comes down to this.

Is it, though? We have everything Bagel breakfast sandwiches. On Rhett's side is a Dunkin' everything bagel with everything. cream cheese and sausage, egg and cheese added for $7.85. And on Link's side is the 7-11 everything bagel breakfast sandwich for $5.49. So it's cheaper. And 7-11 makes it like this, but we had to, like, add. the sausage, egg, and cheese for Dunkin'. Okay. Boy, that everything bagel stuff comes on strong. This is an attractive breakfast sandwich.

Yeah, this is promising. And it's not petrified either. It's surprisingly easy to just bite with your teeth without. straining. Very juicy with all that cream cheese. Yeah, I like that. It's got cream cheese. And. the other cheese, that American cheese I guess. That's pretty solid. I like it. Now, let's go over here, because this is. They put all this together. You don't need to. alter anything. And it doesn't have a hole in the middle.

Doesn't have a hole in it. Maybe that's a good thing. It's. also pretty good. It's easier to eat because it's, like, smushed all into one thing. When you're eating at 7-11, they really do expect you to dash out and get back in your truck and drive away. It's really hard to one hand this bagel. See, everything started coming out? These are both really solid. I mean, I would not have told you this is the best thing that I would have today, but it. It is. It is. It is. I'm believing that the 7-11 is actually better.

Something about the cohesive... grab and go-ness of it. I appreciate the form factor of this, but I think that the bagel on the Dunkin' is a little bit better. It's a better bagel. I'm not gonna deny it. I'm gonna give it an 8. Because I just feel like I gotta give a great score to something. I'm gonna give it a seven. And over here is where I'm gonna dole out the 8... 7... Okay, so we've kind of canceled ourselves out here.

but I'm gaining a lot of respect for 7-11. But let's see where we landed. With. A final score of 59. to. 58. Congratulations. to. 7-11. You did it. You're officially. the best fast breakfast. And you have won the chance to sponsor a future episode of GMM. Okay, and now for the moment that at least four of you have been waiting for. The crew tournament results... Tied for second place, we have.

Lauren. and Lisa. And with one more point, our winner is. Silaine! Come on out there. Look at that. Initial. Here you go. Take it up... Now give us a twist. Give us a turn. Here we go. Food feuds. Is this. Wow, that's leather too. Boy, that is all full leather. 100%. And then we're gonna. Are we gonna put your name over there?

I think maybe not. Put an S. Yeah, we got an initial. All right, good. That's it. That's all you get. Okay, Silaine, so what is your snack of choice to have stocked in the kitchen for all of 2025? After a lot of thinking, I went with the La Colombe. canned mocha lattes. So. it's my coffee of choice in the morning. I promise everyone's gonna love it. Can we afford this? It's gonna be great. Well, I love them too, but I do know how much they cost. Okay, so we're gonna. There's gonna be.

one every day. And it's for Silaine. You gonna have to fight over it. Wow. One point. Can you believe it? Silaine won by one point. And so did 7-11. Wow. Down to the wire. What's the world coming to?
