\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

What is Dunkin\u2019s \u201cThe Charli”<\/h3>\n

What? You don’t know TikTok superstar Charli D’Amelio’s favorite Dunkin’ order?<\/p>\n

Pff, I scoff at you. Everyone knows it’s a medium cold brew with whole milk and three pumps of caramel!<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

How is it, or WHY is it?<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I didn’t get “The Charli,” literally or figuratively. I technically cheated and got a small, which I nicknamed, “The Chaz.” (A large is obviously “The Charles.”)<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

I mean, it’s a cold brew with milk and a lot of sugary caramel syrup. I think smalls only get two pumps, but even that was a bit too sweet for my blood. I don’t get flavors in cold brew because it masks the cold brew flavor and makes it taste like a regular iced coffee. It’s a subtle difference, but I notice it. Whole milk is not my #1 dairy choice, but it was fine.<\/p>\n

Now to get to the why\u2026hmm, how do I write about this weird collaboration without sounding like an angry geezer?<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

“Charli Cold Brew” sounds like the name of the guy who gets the mafia coffee, or the worst mixtape rapper of all time. Notice how I said “mixtape rapper” instead of “Soundcloud rapper.” That should give you an indication that I probably shouldn’t speak about a 16-year-old girl who dances for 15 seconds on an app I’ve never used, the eponymous Charli D’Amelio.<\/p>\n

She’s a massive internet star, but I’m just going on Dunkin’s word \u2013 there was zero chance I was Googling a teenager dancing.<\/p>\n

Look, I’m sure Dunkin’s partnering with Charli has brought them a ton of business from kids who probably shouldn’t be drinking cold brew, but I just don’t understand how absolutely lazy this campaign is. There’s more to the partnership, though. You can win a “virtual hangout with Charli,” but even that strikes me as half-baked.<\/p>\n

“It’s her favorite drink, gramps!” Fair, but this is just a regular menu item. Why not fib a little and release something new and exciting? It’s like that ridiculous Travis Scott meal at McDonald’s. People inexplicably flocked there to get Sprite and some BBQ sauce on a Quarter Pounder. They couldn’t at least add a special pickle to the burger or something?!<\/p>\n

I don’t like this new trend of brand\/celebrity collaborations that aren’t bringing anything new to the table. What’s the point? Why are famous chains doing the “name a deli sandwich after a customer” thing? <\/p>\n

Side note: when I realized my local deli didn’t have a “Vin,” I asked, “What am I chopped liver?!” Now they serve a chopped liver sandwich called the “Vin.” (2 out of 10.)<\/p>\n

But seriously, am I wrong to be ticked off at the marketing, or am I reading the situation wrong?<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

“You’re talking about them, Old Timer?! It’s obviously working!”<\/p>\n

I know, I just find it so lazy! I can’t shake that feeling, which is probably a Charli dance video title.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

As far as I know, Dunkin’ has never collaborated with a celebrity like this. They decided to break the (way too much) ice with a kid from a niche app by promoting a regular variety of cold brew coffee? Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?! (I’m showing my age.)<\/p>\n

Ya know what? I’m already too deep into “get off my lawn” territory here. I’ll shut up. You want a Charli, go get a Charli. Tell ’em Cactus Jack sent ya.<\/p>\n
