Dunkin’ is embarking on a new venture to provide its caffeine-loving customers with a different kind of experience.

The company is gearing up to introduce a range of spiked iced coffee and teas, aptly named Dunkin’ Spiked.

Although an official launch date has not yet been revealed, Dunkin’ Spiked is already making waves. The flavors of these alcoholic beverages have received label approvals from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) database, while the Dunkin’ Spiked website is up and running. The spiked iced coffees are set to come in four variants: original, caramel, mocha, and vanilla. The iced teas will be available in flavors like slightly sweet, half & half, strawberry dragonfruit, and mango pineapple.

Dunkin’ Spiked is set to be an enticing option for those looking for a bit of indulgence, with the spiked coffees containing 6% alcohol by volume and the teas having an ABV of 5%. The brand plans to release the products once all flavor varieties have obtained TTB approval.

Packaged in single servings or sets of four and six, the cans will vary in size, with single cans measuring 19.2 ounces and variety packs containing 12-ounce cans with a mix of flavors.

The beverages will be crafted in collaboration with Harpoon Brewery, Dunkin’s long-term brew partner, based in Boston, known for its seasonal beverages.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
