On June 5, Dunkin commemorated National Donut Day by treating customers to a free donut with the purchase of a drink. This is the 16th year that Dunkin has offered a free donut on this holiday, a clever marketing scheme that has brought many customers in for their well-known donuts. The local Dunkin' Donuts in Kenilworth was especially packed in the afternoon and evening as people lined up to receive a free donut. Their desserts and Refreshers are popular among Brearley students.
Dunkin also introduced a Barbie collaboration: all iced beverages are topped with Barbie-pink strawberry cold foam. The beverages include the Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher, the Double Strawberry Daydream Refresher, the Pink Strawberry Mango Daydream Refresher, the Pink Cherry Daydreamer Refresher, the Strawberry Cloud Matcha, Strawberries and Cream Cloud Dunkalatte, and the Almond Strawberry Shortcake Iced Coffee. All of the Refreshers can have a chosen base of green tea, black tea, lemonade, oat milk, protein milk, or sparkling water, which allows for a variety of combinations.
For the summer, Dunkin introduced new refreshers such as Cherry Lime Ricky and Black Cherry limeade flavors. The classic Refreshers — Raspberry Limeade, Coconut Limeade, Matcha Limeade, and Strawberry Dragon Fruit Limeade — remain popular. The focus group believed that the Refreshers were the most enjoyable and refreshing drinks at Dunkin', especially during the summer. The most highly rated refreshers were the Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher and the Mango Pineapple Refresher.
Stay out of the heat and cool off this summer with one of Dunkin’s new Refreshers, the limited-time Barbie drinks, or simply grab a donut!
