00:00What if you opened a Dunkin' Donuts in Ancient Greece?
00:02Day 1. You arrive in Ancient Greece carrying flour, sugar, and an iron pot.
00:07Greek markets smell like fish and dog shit.
00:10These guys only eat plain bread.
00:12You prepare the dough and roll it up into small rings and drop them into hot oil.
00:16The dough starts to bubble and turn golden.
00:18You cover them with your thick, fluid, colorful toppings.
00:21People gather around and stare at you.
00:23Day 2. You set up near a landmark.
00:25People line up at your stall.
00:27They call them Rings of the Gods.
00:28A man takes a bite. He almost faints with happiness.
00:32He tells you to put the doughnuts in the bag.
00:34He takes home 20 by sunset.
00:36The sugar rush kicks in.
00:37The city doesn't sleep.
00:38Day 3. The city is addicted.
00:40People walk around holding bags of doughnuts.
00:43Philosophers start debating with frosting all over their robes.
00:46The demand doesn't stop.
00:47Gladiators chase the sugar rush before training.
00:50Week 1. You're minding your business frying doughnuts.
00:53Fucking Socrates comes to rage bait you.
00:55He asks, does the doughnut control the man or does the man control the doughnut?
00:59You want to throw the fucking oil at him, but at this point you give up.
01:02You just hand him his doughnuts.
01:04He calls you a good boy and walks away happy this time he won.
01:07Month 3.
01:08The lines are bigger than Socrates' head.
01:10You send a proposal to the emperor for a bigger shop.
01:13The emperor takes one bite and immediately builds you a Dunkin' Doughnuts.
01:16Now you don't have to lift a finger.
01:18Workers do everything for you.
01:20Doughnuts become a Greek obsession.
01:21Year 1.
01:22Athens is now the doughnut capital.
01:24You've achieved a doughnut empire.
01:26Greece no longer runs on plain bread.
01:28It runs on sugar and thick white sauce.
01:31You didn't just bring doughnuts, you changed Greek culture.
