Tonight is a huge one for “Munch (Feelin’ U)” singer Ice Spice. Not only is it her first time as an MTV Video Music Awards Show nominee, but she also just launched her official Dunkin’s beverage: The Ice Spice MUNCHKINS Drink. The VMAs presenter and Best New Artist/Push Performance Of The Year nominee dropped the news in a late-night commercial with none other than Dunkin’s No. 1 fan Ben Affleck.
However, fans aren’t super surprised as the coffee brand teased the collab on Sept.10 with a pumpkin MUNCHKIN donning a diamond-encrusted “Princess” necklace. Ice Spice also shared the promo image saying, “america runs on MUNCHKINS.” The new menu item is coming out on Sept. 13, just on the heels of the Dunkin’ fall menu announcement.
“Pumpkin spice season has gotten a bit predictable lately, so we sought help from our friends Ben
Affleck and Ice Spice to create a new pumpkin obsession that only Dunkin’ can offer,” says Dunkin’s Chief Marketing Officer Jill McVicar Nelson. “The result? The collaboration you never knew you needed: Pumpkin Munchkins and Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee, blended together to create the Ice Spice MUNCHKINS Drink. It’s fun, it’s delicious and it’s not your ordinary pumpkin drink!”
What’s in the Ice Spice MUNCHKINS Drink at Dunkin’?
True to its name, the drink does actually include Dunkin’s pumpkin MUNCHKINS in the recipe. The drink blends frozen coffee with pumpkin MUNCHKINS and is later topped with caramel drizzle and whipped cream. This is an ideal coffee treat for someone who might be looking to refresh their fall beverage choices or is simply just a major Ice Spice fan, lovingly called “Munchkins.” I mean, aren’t we all Munchkins, actually?
In case you’ve ever wondered if Ice Spice was more of a Dunkin’ or Starbucks person, this def clears it up. “I’ve always been a Dunkin’ girl,” she says. “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.”
If it’s approved by both Ice Spice and Ben Affleck, consider us interested. According to one Dunkin’ sign, a medium version of the drink will go for $4.79.
