Dunkin’ launched a massive wave of new items on Wednesday, including several Black Cherry Refreshers, Limeade drinks, some hefty Oreo-based drinks and a handful of Coffee Chillers. (If you combine those last two categories, you can get an Oreo Coffee Chiller — a beast of a drink where a large clocks in at 1,300 calories.)
I was interested in two other new menu offerings. The first: Dunkin’ Dirty Soda. Snackology has been on a dirty soda kick lately, and I wanted to see what a Pepsi topped with Sweet Cold Foam tasted like. It’s pretty good. Smooth. Creamy. Enough carbonation to remind you that despite the cover provided by a Dunkin’ cup, you’re still drinking a Pepsi.
Dunkin’ also rolled out a regular donut and Munchkins with a “fruit punch-inspired twist.” The full-size Fruit Punch Donut is your basic Dunkin’ donut with “fruit punch-flavored icing and fruit punch sprinkle blend.” The Munchkins are blueberry-flavored with those same sprinkles.
I preferred the actual donut over the Munchkins. I love a strawberry-frosted donut at Dunkin’, and the fruit punch-flavored icing is a nice spin on that fruity topping. Dunkin’ also recently used blueberry as the base for their Wedding Cake Munchkins. Not sure why blueberry has become the go-to flavor for these limited-edition runs.
