Dunkin' Donuts Korea Copies Famed Cronut™

Core Tip: Dunkin' Donuts just launched its version of the Cronut™ in South Korea and the Phillipines.
Dunkin' Donuts just launched its version of the Cronut™ in South Korea and the Phillipines. In the chain's advertisement, the doughnut, named the "New York Pie Donut," looks identical to the famed Cronut™ invented by Dominique Ansel bakery in New York City. And folks in Seoul, Korea, are just as excited as patrons in New York City. They are already lining up around the block to get a bite.

According to Eater, at the Seoul location there is a two-doughnut limit for customers buying the crossiant-doughnut hybrid. While the "New York Pie Donut" would likely take off in the U.S., Dunkin' Donuts has so far made no announcements that it will bring the doughnut to the States.

The version in the Philippines, which is only available in select Manilla outposts, is slightly different than the Dunkin' Donuts New York Pie Donut in Korea. Called "Donut Croissant," it comes topped with either powdered sugar or with chocolate icing covered in almond slivers. At Dominique Ansel in New York City the Cronut™ is sold for $5 and will also cost you a night's sleep as you wait in the long line. In the Philippines you can purchase the Dunkin' version for just 75 Philippine pesos, or roughly $1.73.

Do you want Dunkin' Donuts to release the "New York Pie Donut" in the U.S.? Do you think it's fair for the chain to knock off the Cronut™?
