Some Massachusetts residents are a little tired of running on Dunkin’. Residents of Haverhill are claiming that a manufacturing facility that produces a million donuts a day for Dunkin’ Donuts is causing an overwhelming smell in their homes. City Councilor Shaun Toohey shared that he had been contacted by a resident complaining of a “carnival smell” resembling fried dough. “My house smells like donuts, all the time, for the last two months. It's distracting and it's heavy,” said Haverhill resident Sean Wilson. Another resident pointed out that trying to exercise outside while you inhale donut fumes is torture. However, other residents say they enjoy the sweet smell of donuts. "I could imagine a lot worse things to be smelling," said Ross Heiseler, who lives near the facility. The 95,000-square-foot facility, built just this year, is the largest bakery for Dunkin’ Donuts in the U.S. and supplies more than 200 stores. For now, city councilors are set to revisit the issue at their January meeting, and health inspectors will inspect the plant before then.
