A new drink called the Ice Spice Munchkins Drink has been launched by Dunkin’ Donuts in collaboration with rapper Ice Spice. This drink combines frozen coffee with pumpkin cake Munchkins, which are Dunkin's popular doughnut holes. Topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, it marks a unique twist as the first time a Dunkin' bakery item has been included in a drink. However, the drink's recipe has sparked debate among coffee enthusiasts, particularly regarding its coffee content and high sugar levels.
• The drink contains varying amounts of coffee syrup and liquid cane sugar based on size, with a large version having four pumps of coffee and eight pumps of cane sugar.
• A medium Ice Spice Munchkins Drink has 830 calories, equivalent to three and a half glazed doughnuts.
• Many fans expressed confusion over the inclusion of Munchkins in a beverage and the drink's overall sugar content.
• Dunkin's brand ambassador Ben Affleck featured in a commercial with Ice Spice to promote the drink.
This collaboration highlights the blending of pop culture and food trends, appealing to both Dunkin' fans and Ice Spice's followers. While some enjoy the novelty, others are concerned about the health implications of such sugary drinks. The reaction reflects a growing awareness of nutrition in fast food and beverage choices.
