Lawrence is ... not a great place

Well of course this is a negative externality. Dunkin makes garbage donuts. Now if this were Parlor Donuts everyone would be happy all the time.

As a disclaimer, my daughter works at Dunkin. She does not endorse my statement on the poor taste or consistency of their donuts.

I seem to remember their donuts being really good when I was a kid, but maybe I had a less discerning palate. They now all sort of taste like they're three days old

Can’t wait to use this to see which type of externality the students think it is for them!

I was so mad when this story came out at the end of last year because it was such a beautiful teaching moment.

I absolutely love the smell of freshly baked bread. It didn't occur to me that negative externality as well as its counterpart at the extreme end of the scale ought to motivate me to purchase my baked goods from only outlets whose nearby residents don't get inundated with olfactory overload. Thank you for pointing this out, Jadrian Wooten! I recognize your ascendancy insofar as business economics is concerned.
