Dunkin' is celebrating the United States' 250th birthday with a limited-edition eagle cup, a collectible designed with a clear base and a sculpted eagle lid. The company stated the cup "turns every drink into a celebration," whether it's a Refresher or an iced coffee.
The cup has quickly gained popularity, with sightings appearing on social media before its official in-store release. The company noted that "guests may have already spotted the eagle cup taking flight across social media."
Fans have expressed enthusiasm for securing the cup. One Instagram user shared a video of their visit to Dunkin' to obtain a cup, with other users commenting on purchasing multiple to resell. One comment noted the cups were already listed on eBay for $50.
A Reddit thread discussing the cup highlighted the demand, with some users celebrating their success in acquiring the eagle cup after missing out on Dunkin's earlier limited-edition Barbie pink pineapple cup. "When the pineapple cup dropped, my job had me away from my usual Dunkin’ (or any Dunkin’ really), and every location I tried after work were long sold out," one user wrote, contrasting it with their successful attempt to get the eagle cup.
Dunkin' has also engaged with the cup's rollout through its social media, including an Instagram post comparing facts about real eagles with the eagle cup, which garnered significant likes and comments. One post highlighted the eagle's keen eyesight alongside the cup, humorously captioned by a commenter as a reason to "read this before poking my straw into a bald eagle."
Festive Summer Lineup
In addition to the eagle cup, Dunkin' has introduced a "Star-Spangled Sips and Summer Flavors" menu, featuring limited-time beverages and bakery treats inspired by Fourth of July traditions. Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin', stated the company "is bringing the energy of America's 250th birthday to every part of the menu."
The seasonal offerings include nostalgic flavors and patriotic colors. The Dazzleberry Coolatta, a blue-raspberry-flavored drink, is topped with whipped cream and patriotic sprinkles. The bakery case features doughnuts and Munchkins in red, white, and blue.
Specific themed items include the Rocket Pop Donut, described as a star-shaped yeast shell with Rocket Pop-flavored filling, topped with blue icing and star-and-stripe sprinkles. The Stars & Stripes Donut is coated in blue icing and adorned with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
The eagle cup is priced at $10.99 and is available nationwide while supplies last, with each location receiving approximately twenty cups. The purchase of an eagle cup includes a medium beverage.
