Dunkin’ Donuts is testing a new 48-ounce drink size called the Beverage Bucket, leaving fans outside the test area envious. The buckets, which hold cold drinks with a unique lid and straw, are available in select stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The coffee buckets start at $8.89, while the refresher option costs $9.49. This is a significant jump from the previous largest size of 24 ounces. Some customers have expressed frustration on social media about the limited availability, with one user on X saying, “The discrimination [Connecticut] has faced for not being in the testing group for the Dunkin Bucket will not be forgiven.”
Other reactions ranged from jealousy to disbelief. One person wrote, “so extremely jealous of people with that dunkin bucket…i want it to store all my little bits of nonsense.” Another commented, “Yall are sick if you drink this,” while a fourth added, “what do you mean you don't want to drive 5 hours to experience a dunkin bucket with me?”
Confirmed locations in Massachusetts include several stores, with more expected to roll out in the coming week, including in Foxborough. In New Hampshire, three locations are reportedly offering the buckets. Some stores have already sold out.
It is unclear if Dunkin’ plans to expand the buckets to other states or when they might become permanent. The chain did not respond to requests for comment. Previously, Dunkin’ used buckets for Halloween Munchkin Buckets, but this is the first time for drinks.
