A couple in Florida have a reason to be angry after they were allegedly served bloody doughnuts from a local Dunkin Donuts. According to WPLG Local 10, Magelo and Rodrigo Esquivel made a pitstop at a Florida Dunkin Donuts where they claim they were served donuts from an employee whose hand was wrapped in a blood-stained napkin. Ultimately, the blood seemingly soaked up in the products in their bag.
"I'm like, ‘What is that?’ I'm like, ‘That is not jelly,’” Magelo said. “I grabbed the bag because it had the rest of the napkins and I see another red stain on the bag and I'm like, ‘Hold on.’ So we pulled off to the side of the road and I'm like, ‘This is blood. This is not jelly.’”
Their first reaction was to see if they were bleeding, which they weren't. They went back through the drive-thru while videotaping their encounter with the person who served them. The employee attempted to deny the claims but Magelo doubled down on claims that her bag and doughnut were "full of blood."
The couple will have to go through two more blood tests in the next year before it's determined whether they were exposed to any diseases. Dunkin’ Donuts initially offered a $25 gift card for their troubles but the couple declined. After the story spread across the interview, the corporate office for the donut spot said that they will offer to pay the medical bills and the blood tests.
"Upon learning of this incident at the Dunkin’ restaurant in Hollywood, FL, we immediately contacted the franchisee who owns and operates this location. He informed us that the crew member had experienced a paper cut,” a Dunkin Donuts rep told Vice. “He reiterated the proper food safety and quality standards protocol with the crew member, including the necessity of wearing gloves, with the crew member. The franchisee also confirmed he reached out to the guest to resolve the matter and apologize for the negative experience.”
Snoop Dogg Gets His Own Dunkin Donuts Sandwich With Fitting Name
Snoop Dogg has done it all.
Is there honestly anything Snoop Dogg can’t do? The man has simply done it all, whether it be co-starring with Matthew McConaughey in Harmony Korrine’s The Beach Bum or chopping it up with Martha Stewart. He’s made gospel albums, reggae albums, and classic hip-hop albums. He’s been a gangsta and a role model, an uncle to the masses at large. And now, he’s gone and earned himself an officially licensed Dunkin Donuts sandwich, albeit for a limited time only.

The Doggfather took to Instagram to make the announcement, confirming that his “Beyond D-O-Double-G” sandwich would be available in participating Dunkin Donuts for a week-long run. The sandwich itself screams of decadence, with a Beyond Meat sausage patty, egg, and cheese stuffed between a glazed donut. Snoop took to Instagram to show off his latest creation, leaving us wondering how much marijuana was consumed during the initial brainstorming process.
XXL has shared a press release from Dunkin, detailing Snoop’s involvement in the process; while he originally linked up with the company back in November, the Beyond D-O-Double G marks his first original creation. “When I got the chance to work at Dunkin’ for the Beyond Sausage Sandwich launch, I got to thinking about what other Beyond Meat sandwiches we could create,” he explained. “Being around my favorite glazed donuts got me inspired, so today we are dropping The Beyond D-O-Double G Sandwich at Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide.” Try it for yourself until January 19th.
