I completely understand this- during the year I lived in Japan, whenever I was homesick, I turned to the familiar American institutions of McDonald's and Starbucks. Sure, things were a bit different, but overall, they were what I expected and needed to feel 'normal' in such a foreign place. And I do not think it is asking too much for Dunkin' Donuts to have iced tea! :D

I almost texted you today- some friends were in town and we were wandering around the Garden District. Wasn't sure if you were around or not!
