Dunkin' is trialling a new 48-ounce drink size, dubbed the 'Beverage Bucket', in select stores across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The buckets, which start at $8.89 for coffee and $9.49 for refreshers, come with a unique lid and straw, dwarfing the chain's previous largest size of 24 ounces.
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some customers expressing excitement over the massive caffeine hit, while others lament the limited availability. One user on X wrote, 'The discrimination [Connecticut] has faced for not being in the testing group for the Dunkin Bucket will not be forgiven.' Another commented, 'so extremely jealous of people with that dunkin bucket…i want it to store all my little bits of nonsense.'
Confirmed locations in Massachusetts include stores in several towns, with additional outlets in New Hampshire also participating. Some stores have already sold out, but more locations, including Foxborough, Massachusetts, are expected to receive the buckets in the coming week.
Dunkin' has not confirmed whether the buckets will be rolled out nationally or if they will become a permanent menu item. The chain did not respond to requests for comment. Previously, Dunkin' used buckets for Halloween Munchkin Buckets, but this marks the first time such a large cup has been used for beverages.
