Dunkin’ Donuts is set to release its viral 48-ounce cold beverage buckets at multiple stores in the U.S, according to a popular food blogger.
In February, the chain tested its Beverage Buckets, designed with a unique lid and straw, in several Massachusetts and New Hampshire stores. At the time, customers could receive a coffee bucket starting at $8.99, or a refresher for $9.49.
Now, Dunkin’ plans to bring its largest drink size back to kick off Memorial Day Weekend, according to a Tuesday Instagram post from food blogger Markie Devo. He reported that when customers order an iced coffee or refresher May 22, they can have it served in the 48-ounce bucket.
However, the price of the buckets is unknown and they will only be available at participating locations while supplies last.
The Independent has contacted a representative for Dunkin’ for comment.
Many Dunkin’ customers expressed their excitement in the comments of the Instagram post, with one writing: “YESSS YES YESSSSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!”
“I can’t wait to show up to my therapy session with this,” another quipped, while a third added: “This is incredible, looking forward to trying this.”
“Sign me up for an iced coffee bucket anxiety attack,” a fourth joked.
When the buckets rolled out in New England in February, some customers were overjoyed at the idea of the potentially monstrous caffeine intake. However, other Dunkin’ fans were frustrated by the limited release.
The massive bucket isn’t the only new offer at Dunkin’. As part of its summer menu release last month, the retailer hopped onto the dirty soda trend by launching the Dunkin’ Dirty Soda, which combines Pepsi, coffee milk and sweet cold foam.
For the summer season, Dunkin’ also introduced a line of Black Cherry refreshers and an Oreo-themed line-up of espresso, matcha and frozen drinks.
In January, the brand joined in on the viral protein craze and launched its first Protein Milk, which provides “a simple way to add protein to the drinks they already love,” according to a press release at the time. Packed with 15 grams of protein per medium-sized beverage, the special milk aims to offer a “creamy, familiar taste without a chalky texture or aftertaste.”
Dunkin’ also announced a line-up of protein-packed drinks, including a Strawberry Protein Refresher, Caramel Chocolate Iced Protein Latte, Almond Iced Protein Matcha Latte and Iced Protein Latte with Sugar-Free Vanilla.
