FAST FOOD NEWS: Dunkin’ Donuts BlenDDed Shakes

Dunkin Donuts Blendded Shakes

Dunkin’ Donuts is testing milkshakes.

Impulsive Buy reader Joshua took this photo of Dunkin’ Donuts’ BlenDDed Shake samples at a location in Davie, Florida. As you can see in the picture, the whipped cream and sprinkles-topped treat is available in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

It’s a bit weird to see Dunkin’ Donuts do shakes because its sister company is Baskin-Robbins, which does milkshakes. It like if the companies under Yum Brands umbrella decided offer menu items that they don’t specialize in. For example, Pizza Hut coming out with tacos like Taco Bell, or KFC offering pizza.

If you’ve tried the Dunkin’ Donuts BlenDDed Shakes, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
