The total value of the acquisition is $11.3 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal, making it the biggest food-industry deal since Restaurant Brands International bought Tim Hortons for $13.3 billion in 2014. Dunkin' is more than just doughnuts and coffee.
Overall, I found the food at Tim Hortons had a slight edge over Dunkin'. It just felt a little fresher and more natural to me, while the muffin and cheese, in particular, stood out as better. I also tried Tim Hortons' doughnuts for another taste test, and preferred those over Dunkin' as well.
