I haven't been a big fan of Hill, Holliday's recent Dunkin' Donuts work, but this latest "Where's Dan?" ad strikes just the right chord. There's a cube-jockey workplace setup, and I figured we were in for some more stale Office-style banter. Not so! The real action's back home in Dan's cupboard, where animated cereal-box characters bemoan their former breakfast mate's newfound love of Dunkin' food. It's a cute idea done well, and it resonates with me, because as a kid I'd hold entire conversations with Toucan Sam, Cap'n Crunch and the Trix rabbit at the breakfast table.
