Sabrina Carpenter's Daydream Refresher lineup expands, Dunkin's pumpkin spice favorites return and the $6 Meal Deal is back for fall BOSTON, August 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This fall, Dunkin' is taking mornings back to where they began: with the clink of a spoon in a cereal bowl. Launching nationwide today, the all-new Cereal N' Milk Latte transforms that memory into a sweet, nostalgic sip, blended with cereal milk and espresso. The season gets even sweeter as two-time GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Sabrina Carpenter is back with more Daydream Refresher flavors to turn any fall afternoon into a little escape. Dunkin's fall icons also make their comeback, with pumpkin spice back in the spotlight and the $6 Meal Deal delivering unbeatable value for great-tasting breakfast all day long. A Sip of Nostalgia: Meet the Cereal N' Milk Latte Dunkin' is serving up a latte that tastes like childhood, all grown up. The new Cereal N' Milk Latte combines espresso with cereal milk for a marshmallow-cereal flavor that's creamy, rich and unmistakably nostalgic. Building on the success of the Dunkalatte™, Dunkin' is taking its latte innovation to the next level with cereal milk made with real cereal, unlocking that unmistakable bottom-of-the-bowl sweetness. Available hot or iced, it's marshmallow cereal nostalgia made for today's busy mornings—spoon-free. "This latte is all about nostalgia! The idea came from the best part of eating cereal, that last bit of milk. We all remember finishing a bowl just to enjoy those final, sweet sips, which inspired our new Cereal N' Milk Latte," said Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin'. "With our very own cereal milk blended with rich espresso, the Cereal N' Milk Latte brings that marshmallow-flavored, bottom-of-the-bowl taste in every sip. Just like the Dunkalatte, it gives the classic latte a fun new twist." And because one good throwback deserves another, Dunkin' is dropping a limited-edition Cereal N' Milk Latte-inspired merch collection at starting today at 9 a.m. ET. Taking inspiration from the golden era of cereal culture, the exclusive drop includes a crewneck ($45), graphic tee ($30) and trucker hat ($20).

Each piece is available in three vibrant colors, while supplies last. Dunkin' Refreshers Just Got Dreamier After the buzz of Sabrina's Strawberry Daydream Refresher, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Sabrina Carpenter is back to round out the lineup with Mixed Berry, joining Mango and Strawberry to create a trio of Daydream Refreshers. Crafted with oatmilk and topped with velvety cold foam, each sip is indulgent yet refreshingly light. Whether you're in the mood for the tropical pop of Mango, the juicy sweetness of Mixed Berry or the creamy nostalgia of Strawberry, Sabrina's Daydream Refreshers deliver three crave-worthy flavors to match any mood. Through the Dunkin' app, guests can create their perfect sip with the Mix Your Own Refresher option. With customizable bases (green tea, black tea, lemonade, sparkling water, water, or oatmilk), flavors, and sweetness levels – there's a drink that's as creamy, bold, bubbly or tart as they like. Plus, more fun is brewing next month, so fans can stay tuned to Dunkin's social channels for what's next. The Return of Pumpkin at Dunkin' No fall at Dunkin' is complete without pumpkin. The iconic Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, hot or iced, is back to spice up the season, made with flavors of sweet pumpkin, vanilla and warm fall spices, then finished with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

Noel Gallagher says he is ‘proud' of his brother Liam
Oasis's Noel Gallagher has said he is 'proud' of his brother Liam and that he forgot how 'funny' he was. Following their return to Ireland at the weekend with two sold-out shows at Dublin's Croke Park, the Britpop star opened up about their Oasis Live '25 reunion tour adding that he is 'completely blown away' by the response. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 15 years after their dramatic split in 2009, when Noel quit the band after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'. Speaking to talkSport's Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent, he said: 'Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think, good for you mate. He's been amazing. 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead (Paul Arthurs) and Liam and just be doing it again. 'I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was.' The group has already played in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh with dates scheduled around the world including in major cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan. Speaking about the tour so far and their opening night in Cardiff, Noel said he was 'completely blown away'. He added: 'I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. 'It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again? 'I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song. 'It's been an amazing thing. Really is an amazing thing. 'It's difficult to put into words actually. 'Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean? So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it. Oasis, best known for Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova, signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994.
