Ever wondered what happens when Dunkin' decides to spice things up with a splash of alcohol? We took on the tantalizing task of taste testing Dunkin' Spice, a bold four-pack that may or may not be the morning mishap you never knew you wanted. First up, the original flavor had us questioning its watery appearance and drawing some rather humorous comparisons. Still, our love for Dunkin' runs deep, and we couldn't resist pondering whether to brave the rest of the pack or retreat to our familiar favorites. Join us as we sip, critique, and reminisce about our Dunkin' favorites, especially those irresistible donuts.

As our taste adventure continues, we can't help but wonder if vanilla, mocha, and caramel will redeem our Dunkin' Spice experience. Is it worth sticking to this lackluster vanilla or perhaps reaching for a Bud Light instead? And what about that elusive pumpkin spice variant? We share our candid thoughts on the whole affair, from discrepancies between product and promo pics to the surprising lack of creaminess. Peppering in personal Dunkin' tales and a healthy dose of skepticism, this episode is a spirited exploration that only true Dunkin' devotees will fully appreciate.
