There are two types of folks during the month of October: those who shrug at costume party invitations and simply look forward to discounted candy, and those who deck out their houses in spider webs, load up on spooky movies, and tint their foods orange and black. The latter group might be particularly psyched about these new cups from Dunkin', which are just the right way to celebrate the season while staying hydrated.
The plastic tumblers are sold in the signature Dunkin' brand colors of hot pink and bright orange, with adorable illustrated sprinkles along the bottom to make them resemble donuts, and they retail for $11. The first phrase you see is HOCUS POCUS, but the cups aren't related to the cult favorite film and no movie quote follows. Instead, you get a very caffeinated rhyme: "Hocus Pocus I need my Dunkin' to focus."
In stores now while supplies last, the cups hold up to 24 ounces of liquid, so there's room for enough iced coffee to power you straight through to Halloween. In case the whole offering weren't cute enough, the cups even glow in the dark! A perfect beverage accompaniment while you're watching horror movies in the dark in the lead-up to October 31.
Dunkin' has been killing it with the Halloween specials this year. Earlier this week, we shared their new Peanut Butter Cup Macchiato, which tastes like a trick-or-treater's bounty and has a cool, orange-to-black ombre effect. And in August, they released a fall line-up that includes Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, while September brought a partnership with Harpoon Brewery for a beer made with Dunkin' coffee and pumpkin puree, plus a Maple Crème Blonde Ale. Yum!
