The 30-second clip, which was posted on the chain's social media accounts, shows the heartthrob gushing that his tan is down to genetics.
'Look, I didn't ask to be the king of summer, it just kinda happened,' Casalegno said in the spot. 'This tan? Genetics.'
'Can't help it — every time I drink a Golden Hour Refresher, it's like the sun just finds me,' he added. 'So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer? Guilty as charged.'
The actor was advertising Dunkin's new summer drinks. The Golden Hour Refresher is a tropical fruit drink mixed with lemonade.

Leftist TikTokers immediately blew up over the ad, blasting the donut chain for seemingly throwing race into the mix.
'Why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden,' one person commented on Dunkin's video.

'What in the Sydney Sweeney did I just watch,' another wrote.
Others, meanwhile, were quick to mock the 'woke' fury.
It came as similar outrage erupted over Sweeney's new ad for American Eagle jeans that had the star talking about her jeans/genes.
'Oh boy, libs are about to lose their minds again — Dunkin' Donuts just dropped a new ad with Gavin Casalegno! Whatever you do, do not share it — because you will trigger a full-blown liberal meltdown,' one person joked on X.

'Dunkin' Donuts just committed the entire left in America to the insane asylums they belong in. They broke every single leftist enforced rule imaginable,' another quipped.
The Sweeney ad that sent leftist TikTok into full-blown pitchfork-and-torch mode featured the 27-year-old bombshell clad in a pair of American Eagle jeans and a denim jacket.
6 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' she said in the spot, adding: 'My jeans are blue.'

Blake Lively rips Perez Hilton for churning out more than 500 negative articles about Justin Baldoni feud
Blake Lively claims Perez Hilton published more than 500 negative pieces about her unrelenting feud with Justin Baldoni — as she dukes it out with her co-star-turned-enemy for allegedly mounting a smear campaign against her. Lively, 37, alleged that Hilton — whose real name is Mario Lavandeira Jr. — put out 540 'disparaging' videos and posts about her without first reaching out to her side for comment and which 'generally regurgitate messaging that appears to be prepared by others,' according to court papers her lawyers filed in Manhattan federal court Tuesday. 3 Blake Lively's lawyers filed court papers claiming blogger Perez Hilton has published over 540 negative pieces about her in her feud with Justin Baldoni. Variety via Getty Images Advertisement The court papers also claim that Hilton used a slew of slurs and 'mocking' epithets about her including calling her: 'Blackface Blake,' 'Lying Lively,' 'Ku Klux Khaleesi,' and 'Litigious Lively.' The 'Gossip Girl' star subpoenaed the gossip hack for any correspondence he may have exchanged with Baldoni's side as she seeks to prove her claims that her 'It Ends With Us' co-star-turned-nemesis carried out a smear campaign against her, with the help of the film's production company Wayfarer Studios LCC and others. Hilton last month filed papers seeking a protective order to stop Lively's team from publishing journalists' and influencers' personal addresses when she subpoenas them — and he's fighting her subpoena for his records in Las Vegas federal court. Advertisement 3 Perez Hilton is being subpoenaed by Blake Lively for any messages he exchanged with Justin Baldoni's team. Getty Images for One Drop Hilton told The Post in an exclusive statement that he's not part of Baldoni's alleged smear campaign against Lively and that he only published opinions he formed on his own by reading Lively's suit and Baldoni's since-dismissed countersuit. 'I was not part of any smear campaign against her,' Hilton said. 'I was not working on behalf of anyone. I was not paid by anyone.' 'After reading Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against her and his first amended complaint, my opinions and support shifted,' the influencer said. Advertisement Hilton also said that his work records are shielded by laws that protect journalists and said since he works and lives in Las Vegas, the issue should be fought in a court in the Silver State. 3 Blake Lively claimed in her lawsuit that her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her and then carried out a smear campaign against her. GC Images 'She is asking me for information that is privileged,' Hilton said. 'She is also asking me for information that she could and should obtain from the parties in this case, the Wayfarer defendants, not from me — a nonparty to this litigation.' 'I did nothing wrong,' he concluded. 'I am not afraid of Blake Lively.' Advertisement Lively is asking Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Liman to force Hilton to comply with her subpoena and to force him to cough up attorney's fees for any Hilton-related litigation. Her team claimed in the court papers that to date, Baldoni and the other defendants haven't turned over any messages that Hilton exchanged with them. The 'A Simple Favor' actress claimed Baldoni sexually harassed her and then launched a campaign to tarnish her reputation. She claimed he shared details about his sexual conquests with her and the fact that he was addicted to porn. After, Baldoni launched counterclaims accusing Lively and her 'Deadpool' actor husband of extorting and defaming him. Liman dismissed Baldoni's suit in June. Lawyers for Lively and Baldoni didn't immediately return requests for comment Wednesday.

American Eagle-Sydney Sweeney Controversy: AEO Is Laughing All The Way To The Bank
This summer, everybody is talking about jeans, specifically American Eagle jeans. Its 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' campaign, featuring the Euphoria and The White Lotus star that broke on July 23, has sparked outrage from many by playing off the sound-alike words 'genes' and 'jeans' and garnered raves from others who delight in their outrage. While the ad has become a flashpoint in the escalating culture wars, what's missing from much of the discussion is that this is just an advertising campaign whose sole purpose is to sell more jeans. At the outset, American Eagle bet big on its tie-up with Sweeney. CEO Craig Brommers told Marketing Dive it represents the brand's largest advertising investment ever and that he expected it to pay off during the back-to-school season, which he described as the 'Super Bowl' for jeans sales. The fact that the ad campaign has gone viral means that American Eagle Outfitters stands to reap exponentially greater returns than it originally invested and over a longer period of time than just the BTS season. It needs the boost after first quarter revenues were down 5% to $1.1 billion, and it ended last year with only 1% growth to $5.3 billion. Jennifer Foyle, president and executive creative director of AEO's American Eagle and Aerie brands, said in a statement that American Eagle sets the trend in denim 'that leads, never follows.' In trendsetter fashion, American Eagle is going against the current cultural norms by returning to advertising designed to sell, rather than promote a cultural agenda. Predictable Backlash A backlash from left-leaning culture warriors resulted after the indisputably beautiful and buxom blue-eyed blonde Sweeney said in one video, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color…My jeans are blue.' According to reports, that video has been removed from American Eagle's social channels. But the damage had been done and the online firestorm continues with other ads featuring the tagline's pun, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' Cries erupted of Sweeney and American Eagle promoting Nazi-era 'Aryan race' eugenics with its implied message of white beauty's superiority. Columbia University's Dr. Sayantani DasGupta took to TikTok saying, 'It is both a testament to this political moment, and its contributing to and reinforcing this kind of anti-immigrant, anti-people of color, pro-eugenic political moment.' That post has garnered over three million views. There has also been pushback against the campaign's overtly sexual tone – harking back to the controversial Cindy Crawford's white-tank-top and short-shorts Pepsi commercial that ran in the 1992 Super Bowl and the campaign Brooke Shields did with Calvin Klein in the 1980s. The latter was deserved, as Shields was an underage 15 years old at the time, but Sweeney is a 27-year-old adult woman. Pushing Back Against The Backlash People on the other side of the cultural divide find the ad clever, even getting a kick from the outrage spawned by the campaign. Conservative bloggers, like Megyn Kelly and Benny Johnson, are making the most of the controversy, and right-leaning Fox News mentioned Sweeney and American Eagle 62 times in the week after it launched, according to Media Matters. To put the other side's noses further out of joint, MAGA voices have weighed in, including Sen. Ted Cruz, Vice President J.D. Vance and President Trump. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves,'' the President said on Truth Social, adding, 'The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers.' While Modern Retail reports that American Eagle may be working with a crisis PR firm to counter the backlash, and it did an Instagram post featuring a woman of color stating, 'AE Has Great Jeans,' the company remains unapologetic, saying in a statement: ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' Cultural Reckoning or Cultural Shift? The Collage Group research firm, specializing in cultural intelligence insights, reports that even before the campaign broke, American Eagle had been a laggard in aligning with America's increasingly diverse consumer base. 'The backlash against American Eagle's recent campaign isn't surprising when you look at the brand's cultural fluency,' said Jack Mackinnon, Collage's director of cultural insights, citing lower than average scores on several of the six dimensions that make up its Brand Cultural Fluency Quotient. 'When a brand is already underperforming in cultural relevance, missteps in advertising are amplified, because there's less brand equity to fall back on. Our data shows that culturally fluent brands win in the marketplace,' he continued. Yet when brands read the cultural signals wrong or push too hard to promote what they perceive as a culturally-progressive agenda, they may pay a heavy price. Think of Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney, Target's Pride Month 2023 campaign with its tuck-friendly swimsuit or Jaguar's confusing rebrand without a car in sight. Instead, American Eagle retreated to the middle and an advertising formula that has stood the test of time: sex sells. Master marketer Jennifer Sey, named twice to the Forbes Most Influential CMOs list and who knows as much as anyone in the world about jeans advertising from her 23 years with Levi's, applauds it for returning to marketing fundamentals and 'normie' advertising with the only goal to sell more jeans. 'It's a major about-face after more than a decade of jean, car and beer brands forcing 'wokeness' down our gullets,' she wrote on Substack. 'But at the end of the day, sex sells and pretty girls with sexy stares can sell anything. After years of hocking body positivity, it appears hot-girl summer is the way to go.' On a side note, Sey is the founder of XX-XY Athletics, whose mission is to protect women's and girl's sports from the inclusion of transgender athletes, a position with which 80% of Americans agree, though no other athletic brand has publicly taken a position on the controversial issue. The Majority Sides With American Eagle At least half of the country gets the American Eagle message, according to a YouGov poll fielded Aug. 1 among 3,500 adults. Overall, 52% believe the wordplay in the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is appropriate, while only 16% think it inappropriate and 32% are undecided. Interestingly, the youngest consumers, aged 18 to 29 years old (mostly GenZers and trailing edge Millennials) have the highest share of inappropriates (28%) and lowest share of appropriates (36%). However, they also have the highest share of uncertains (36%), which isn't too surprising. Being younger, they are still in the formative stages of building their identity and so more influenced by peer pressure and those they look to as leaders and authority figures. On the other hand, nearly 60% of adults aged 45 and older believe the wordplay is appropriate. And across the political spectrum, even a plurality of Democrats (46%) and Independents (49%) consider it appropriate. Ultimate Goal To Sell More Jeans While the YouGov poll found the youngest cohort is still on the fence about the 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad campaign, Sourcing Journal reported late last year that American Eagle brand was the number one jeans line among its core target customers aged 15 to 25 years. Once the dust settles, the young undecideds are likely to join the majority or not let their uncertainty about the appropriateness of the wordplay put them off their favorite jeans. The campaign has done something that only great advertisements do: broken through the noise and gotten consumers' attention. And as fellow contributor Doug Melville points out, that is increasingly hard to do. Despite the backlash or even because of it, American Eagle is profiting big-time from the controversy. Its stock is up over 20% since the campaign broke and 'The Sydney Jean' she modeled in the ad has sold out. American Eagle Outfitters will report second-quarter earnings toward the end of August, which will only catch a few days of sales after the campaign broke. At that time, it will be up against high comps of $1.3 billion in sales on 8% growth across its American Eagle and Aerie brands, so it won't be until the third and fourth quarters when the first results come in. New Era Dawning 'This was a very strategic effort to do something that pushed the limits, attracted attention and got people to notice the brand,' Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, told the Wall Street Journal. 'It's quite clear that we're in a new era for advertising. Brands over the past decade have become very careful about being inclusive in their advertising, and I think now clearly that's changing,' he continued. By boldly challenging perceived contemporary cultural norms, American Eagle is positioned at the forefront of a cultural realignment that is veering away from extremes and returning to the middle. 'After years of brand-destroying body positivity and 'inclusive' marketing, 'normies' took the wheel at American Eagle and their sales and stock price soared. The brand is back and relying on the formula as old as advertising itself: hotness,' Sey wrote. 'Brands can further normal ideas to normal people and not feel bad about it anymore. I suspect brands that have been chasing social justice through advertising, which only served to tank sales, are relieved as well,' she concluded. See also:
