Bagel Holes? Dunkin Donuts Applies for Trademark

Hemera/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- Dunkin’ Donuts popular Munchkins might be getting a new cousin: the Bagel Bunchkin.  The company recently applied for a trademark for “Bagel Bunchkin,” but declined to say if and when the new bagel bites would be released.

“We have many trademarks and cannot speculate on future plans related to our trademark filings,” the company’s trademark team responded.

The popular restaurant chain currently serves bagel twists and 13 different-flavored bagels.

In 2009, Thomas’ sold their own version of bagel bites, called “Bagel Holes,” which are no longer listed on their website.  The product was offered in three flavors and received mixed reviews.
