Completely Random Election: Dunkin’s new coffee buckets.

[hardcorestitch]

Dunkin is literally selling type infinity diabetes in a bucket, in the form of 48 oz coffee and other drinks. It’s currently only available in parts of New England.

This is a New England girl's dream... a bucket of iced coffee?
[you do know that sugar doesn't cause diabetes, right?]

And not everyone drinks their iced coffee sweetened.
I'd totally consider getting one just for the novelty.

True words... Dunkin does offer iced coffee "uncensored"...

Wouldn’t be for me, but a couple of family members might be very interested!

Add one of those taps on the bottom of the bucket and it would be no different than the regular coffee totes that places sell for group meetings (like from Panera). The straw thing seems like it would be awkward for a group to drink.

It’s just that the pouring would be difficult for cup servings…

I've had smaller sized ones from a local place (it was 32 oz.) and while ot was good, it was a splurge. It also took me all day to get through it.

Well, I have to explain that Dunkin Donuts abandoned our area almost 40 years ago, and just started returning a few years ago, the one in my county opened in 2022. So Dunkin Donuts COFFEE is what gas stations sold here for most of my adult life. So not a brand of coffee I would normally buy in the first place. As for a 48 ounce beverage of any kind, so, my kidneys and diabetes kind of make that a bad idea.

My DD has it! Might get one and split it! Or drain out the ice and save half (or more) for later!

I know! And I don't dare try one on a day I have to work (for many reasons), maybe this weekend!

I have yet to experience a Dutch Bros, they are popping up in FL, hoping to try one on my next trip in a few weeks!

It's cute. I like my coffee hot, so if I get one, it will be for the bucket itself. It would make a really cute gift basket for a charity raffle - with a mug and gift card nestled in pink & orange tissue paper.

Last night on Stephen Colbert he said "It comes in a bucket, because after drinking 48 ounces of coffee you're gonna need a bucket"

Just remember not to give Dutch Bros coffee to dogs… it’s poison

I wouldn't have any problem drinking that much, BUT I am going to make the healthier choice and avoid it
