Dunkin Tests 48-Ounce Beverage Buckets at Select Massachusetts and New Hampshire Stores

The limited trial in two New England states gauges demand for a novelty 48-ounce drink before any wider rollout.

Overview

  • Dunkin’ confirmed a pilot of a 48-ounce collectible bucket for cold drinks at select locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
  • The plastic bucket includes a handle, lid, and long straw, and can be filled with iced coffee, iced lattes, or refreshers, plus featured options like blueberry cobbler iced latte, caramel coco iced coffee, and strawberry dragonfruit lemonade refresher.
  • Customers and local outlets have mapped participating stores in both states, though the company has not released an official list and availability varies by location.
  • Reported pricing starts around $8.89 for coffee and about $9.49 for refreshers, with customers citing totals between roughly $7 and $10.
  • Some stores have already run out of buckets and reports suggest additional Massachusetts locations are adding them, while questions persist about whether buckets are pre-filled and how customization is handled, alongside transportability concerns voiced on social media.
