During the MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night, Dunkin’ Donuts unveiled a new commercial. This commercial was directed by Affleck, who also starred in it, and it was produced through the actor’s Artists Equity production label.
The beverage blends frozen Dunkin’ coffee with the flavors of pumpkin cake Munchkins doughnut holes, finished with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. This marks the inaugural occasion where a Dunkin’ bakery item has been incorporated into a beverage.
It’s fun, it’s delicious and it’s not your ordinary pumpkin drink!”
Ice Spice’s fans are lovingly called munchkins after her 2022 hit «Munch (Feelin’ U).»
I’ve always been a Dunkin’ girl! Collaborating with Dunkin’ and Ben Affleck on this spot was a dream. The drink has a fun twist, a little something in the name for my fans, too. I can’t wait for everyone to try it” –said Ice Spice.
Have you already tried Ice Spice & Dunkin’ collab?
Earlier this year, the doughnut and coffee chain collab with a musician, and this marks another instance. In February, Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance in a Dunkin’ advertisement that aired during the Super Bowl, which also featured Ben Affleck, her husband.
As a fun fact, Affleck is actually a renowned Dunkin’ fan. In a 2019 interview, he told Collider, “I have Dunkin’ Donuts every day. It’s very weird. I have it every day and people are always like, ‘Where’s that? Is that near here?’ So I feel like I’m spreading the word.”
In April, another advertisement added to the fun, featuring a scenario where Affleck was mistaken for Matt Damon.
