The Summer I Turned Pretty actor, 25, is making the season even sweeter with the all-new Dunkin' Golden Hour Refresher, a tropical combination of Mango, Pineapple and Strawberry Dragonfruit flavors mixed with sweet and tart lemonade served over ice.
A new video ad released Tuesday, July 29 sees Casalegno sitting poolside, letting viewers know he can't help being hailed as the 'King of Summer.'
'This tan? Genetics. I just got my color analysis back. Guess what? Golden summer, literally!' he says in the clip.
After taking a brief stroll and finding himself on a pool chaise lounge, he admits, 'I can't help it. Every time I drink a Dunkin' Golden Hour Refresher, it's like the sun just finds me.'
'So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer? Guilty as charged,' he concludes.
In addition to the Golden Hour Refresher, Dunkin' also rolled out the Blueberry Breeze Refresher: a crisp, blueberry-forward sip inspired by breezy coastal vibes.
However, the possibilities are endless inside of the Dunkin' app, where customers can try their own customizable combinations, including the Blueberry Strawberry Sparkling Refresher and Guava Strawberry Black Tea Refresher.
There's also the Mix Your Own Refresher feature in the app to mix and match any two flavors with a choice of mixer to craft the perfect sip.
And even better, Dunkin' Rewards members can enjoy all medium Refreshers for $3 through Aug. 19, though additional charges, terms, and exclusions may apply, and participating locations may vary.

'There's just something about a summer sunset that makes everything feel a little better, and Dunkin's Golden Hour Refresher really captures that vibe,' Casalegno said in a statement. 'It's refreshing and kind of just lifts your mood. I've been a Dunkin' fan for years, so teaming up again is such a fun way to celebrate summer.'
Casalegno also previously worked with Dunkin' for a $6 Meal Deal campaign featuring James Marsden, Charles Melton, Tramell Tillman and Dylan Efron.
When the partnership was announced in April, each actor appeared in a hilarious ad, sharing their desires to be seen as 'more than just a snack' because of things like their 'skincare routine' and having 'hauntingly symmetrical' features.
'I am the full meal,' Marsden, 51, said while in a Dunkin' drive-through.
Dunkin' has also collaborated with it-girls for drinks like the Pink Spritz featuring Paige DeSorbo and Sabrina Carpenter's Strawberry Daydream.

The Deeper Meaning Behind the 'My Oxford Year' Ending Montage

Spoilers below. The coming-of-age genre loves to make its characters choose between a relationship and their future. We're seeing it in The Summer I Turned Pretty, with Belly abandoning plans to study in Paris to stay with her fiancé, Jeremiah (who didn't want her to go anyway). Earlier this spring, we saw it in Forever: Justin wants to go with Keisha to Howard University, but she'd prefer that they have their own experiences. There are many other instances of this in pop culture, usually with the girl choosing a boy over her dreams. Cosmopolitan recently pointed out examples in The Hills, Boy Meets World, and more. (And let's not forget how Nate became the villain in The Devil Wears Prada for trying to keep Andy from her job.) Watching these relationships as the audience, it might be easy to scold the women who choose the boy. Like, Girl, stand up! He is not worth it! My Oxford Year, Netflix's newest romance film, complicates that decision with life-or-death stakes. The movie stars Sofia Carson (the streamer's go-to leading lady) as Anna, a big dreamer and type-A planner who takes a gap year to fulfill her childhood fantasy of attending Oxford University. Once she's done with her poetry course, she has a high-profile finance job waiting for her back in the States. But then she falls for her hot professor, Jamie Davenport (Queen Charlotte's Corey Mylchreest), who messes up her plans. Despite their undeniable mutual attraction, Jamie wants to avoid getting into a committed relationship with Anna. Not because he's emotionally unavailable, but because he has terminal cancer and doesn't want to break her heart. He has even opted to not take further treatment, despite his family's objections. Still, he and Anna can't resist each other, and they go for it anyway. They are so in love that Anna finds herself facing a critical decision: Should she still go back to the U.S. for her Goldman Sachs job, or should she stay in the U.K. with Jamie to help take care of him and keep him company for however much time he has left? An integral factor in this situation is that Jamie vehemently does not want Anna to stay. She has such a bright future ahead of her; she shouldn't give it up for a guy she just met and who won't be around for much longer. 'I would never make you make such a bloody stupid decision,' he tells her, also pointing out that there isn't much career growth if she decides to work at the university. When Anna tells him she isn't taking the Goldman job after all, he's furious. But Anna and Jamie's relationship has been quite eye-opening for her. Throughout their time together, her lifelong love for poetry and literature has only deepened. She expresses her dreams of traveling the world. She loves the Henry David Thoreau quote, 'Live life deliberately,' which has long inspired her to plan out every detail of her trajectory. But after encountering Jamie and his carpe diem approach to life, she realizes perhaps Thoreau was referring to something else. Living deliberately is not about planning everything, but about 'being definite about every small moment,' she says in the film. And what is life but not a series of moments? At the end of My Oxford Year, Anna and Jamie make up from their argument and spend the night together, but Anna wakes up to find Jamie nearly unconscious. He has a critical case of pneumonia that will likely kill him. At the hospital, the doctor wants to discuss next steps for treatment with Jamie's parents, but they decide to honor his wishes and let nature take its course. Back at home, lying on what is now Jamie's death bed, he and Anna talk about her future. Now that she's stayed in the U.K., she can go on the 'grand tour' she's always dreamed of. The itinerary includes Amsterdam, to see a hidden chapel; Paris, to get drunk by the Seine; Venice, to ride a gondola; and Greece, to see the Temple of Poseidon and swim in the Aegean Sea. As Anna plans her travels aloud, a tender montage of her and Jamie visiting these sites appears onscreen—until, in the end, it's revealed that she was alone the whole time. When the film jumps back to Jamie and Anna on the bed, it appears he has died right beside her. She might not have Jamie physically with her when she goes on her dream trip, but she does take his lessons and worldview with her as she moves forward with her life. As Carson previously told ELLE, their relationship 'changes her forever and for the better,' because she learns to 'lean into what brings her joy and what always was the love of her life, and that was poetry and literature.' Sure enough, in the film's final scene, Anna is now a professor at Oxford, teaching a poetry class of her own. My Oxford Year argues that choosing your love is choosing your future—especially if that love helps you achieve the dreams you were too scared to chase. In a sense, it eliminates the decision entirely, because you can have both; you can have your cake and eat it too. It's very romantic, it's melodramatic, and it's definitely rare, but it works in the context of a sappy, two-hour Netflix film with Sylvia Plath references and idyllic English settings. But in the cases of Belly from TSITP or Lauren from The Hills (who are both 'the girl who didn't go to Paris'), or any experience rooted deeper in reality, it's not quite the same. Those decisions, and the men involved, require a little more... deliberating.

15 People Who Dated Their Ex's Siblings Share Their Stories

If you're like me, then you're probably obsessed with the love triangle drama in The Summer I Turned Pretty — aka a show where the main character dates two brothers and over the course of three seasons has to decide which one is the love of her life. And it got me thinking about how people in real life would handle the situation of dating your ex's sibling. A while ago, Reddit user u/shampoo_mohawk_ asked: "People who have dated or even married the sibling of an ex, how did that go? How did it affect the siblings/rest of the family?" Here are the wildest responses: "My dad dated BOTH of my mom's sisters before he dated her. As long as I can remember, everything's basically been cool. We all got along great, never any awkwardness, which may be because it was already like six years in the past by the time I was even born." "I had a pretty big crush on a guy, and we made out once or twice. Then, 10 years later, I end up marrying his brother. My partner asked me once, when he was wasted, if I had f*cked his brother. I was really relieved that I could honestly say no to that one." "My grandfather's mom died when he was one year old, and his aunt moved in to help with the kids. One thing led to another, and she married his father. So basically, my grandfather's stepmom was also his aunt. And he has no memories of his biological mom. It went pretty well as far as I've heard, but there could hardly be any conflict with one of the siblings dying being the main reason it happened." "I had a friend that I wanted to be more than friends with, but she was hesitant. We remained good friends, but I ended up dating her younger sister. The older sis got really upset over it and broke off contact with me." "My grandma met my grandpa and had two babies with him. She left him because he was abusive, and they shared custody of my mom and aunt. About 10 years later, she hooked up with my grandpa's brother and had a baby with him, and he is named after his dad. At a family reunion of my grandpa's side of the family, at the age of 22, I finally learned why my cousin doesn't have the same grandpa as I do." "When my grandma was 20, she got married to a very nice guy. Together, they had a son. When my cousin was two years old, his dad died. My grandma, now a single mom, raised her son for three years, until her son's grandparents (her husband's parents) told her they would be taking her son to raise him. My grandma would have had no choice but to give them her son. Until her brother-in-law tells her that he will marry her and support her and his nephew. My grandparents were married for almost 60 years and had 11 more kids. My uncle always felt like he didn't belong in the family, even though my grandpa loved him so much." "My dad started dating my uncle's ex. It caused a huge rift, and everyone expected my uncle to just be cool with it. He hopped on a bus out of town and hasn't spoken to anyone in, like, three years." "A really good friend of mine dated a guy who cheated on her with her sister. They broke things off for a few months, he apologized, and then they decided to try again. A month in, and she found out he was cheating again with the same sister. Turns out he got the sister pregnant. My friend really hated her sister and the thought of a baby being involved for a long time. Now the guy is no longer in the picture, she's forgiven her sister, and she adores her nephew. I'm glad it worked out for her, but I don't know if I'd be able to mend things after that." "So, my mom married my dad, had me and my sister, then got divorced when I was 8. A year or so later, my mom started dating my dad's brother (my uncle), he moved in with us, and eventually they got married (I was probably 20 at that point). My uncle has been my stepdad longer than he was my uncle. My cousins are also my step-siblings, but we still refer to them as cousins and refer to my uncle as my stepdad. But their kids refer to my mom as grandma. It's all confusing, and we never really questioned it. My stepdad has been there and has done more for raising me and my sister than my dad has. My mom and he go to our family dinners and holidays along with my dad and stepmom. It's I guess." "My grandmother married my grandfather, who had dated her sister previously. My great aunt said, verbatim, 'I couldn't stand his ass.' My grandmother should have taken her advice because he abandoned the family when his daughter was 10 weeks old to run off with another woman. Years after that daughter passed away in a hit-and-run, he was able to weasel his way into an insurance class-action lawsuit my grandmother was involved in, and collect on his daughter's name even though he hadn't seen her in over twenty years. I never met him, and he died about ten years ago, abandoned by his family because he was such an asshole." "My stepmom met my uncle back in the early '80s. They dated for a while, and in 1986, she gave birth to a little boy. They never got married. A year or two later, they broke up, and the woman I called my 'aunt' was now dating my dad (my uncle's younger brother). My dad was divorcing my mother when I was three, because my mother caught my dad cheating with Aunt, who was her best friend. Dad and Aunt dated for several years and got married when I was 7. Family functions were tense for the first few years. But they have been married for over 25 years now. So, I can't hate that she made my dad happier than my mom did. The running joke was that she is AuntMom and her son (my step-brother) is my "brousin". We don't tell that joke to my step-mom within earshot, though." "My mom was married to my dad's older brother before she married my dad. My mom's first marriage (to my uncle) didn't work because they're basically the same person, and neither of them could deal with the pain in the ass parts of themselves in another person. They didn't have any children. They were only married for two years, and they were in their early 20s. They're much better off as friends and are friends to this day. There was a lot of time between the marriages, like eight years, so everyone had time to get over it. My dad and his brother are as close as they always have been." "I'm a twin, and my wife briefly dated my brother before me. It was comical and a bit of a joke now, but nobody cares. Actually, at my wedding, I was up at the bar, and my wife and brother were still sitting at the head table. People started clinking their glasses, so my brother leaned in and kissed her on her cheek." "My mom has three older sisters and three older brothers. She's the youngest of seven. Apparently, my oldest aunt married my uncle, but originally, when he called the house, he wanted to speak with the 2nd oldest sister, but the oldest picked up the phone. They went out on a date, eventually got married, and had 3 kids. All those kids are grown up now and have their own kids. They're living a happy life ~40 years later with grandkids. It became a joke more than anything that originally the (now) uncle called for the other sister to take on a date. My 2nd-oldest aunt has her own husband and family, too." And finally, "My family is from India, and all of my aunts and uncles had arranged marriages. My dad has seven siblings. My eldest aunt was engaged to a Canadian-born Indian man; basically, the jackpot back then. He flew over for the wedding, saw my youngest aunt, and asked to marry her instead. Since my grandparents were super poor and had already spent money on the wedding, they agreed. My aunts haven't spoken in 45 years."

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is triggering millennials who watched 'The Hills' — and here's why

'As a millennial I can't believe I have to watch a woman give up going to paris just to make a manchild happy. AGAIN,' one fan wrote on X. Any millennial raised on MTV-era reality television knows all too well that there's nothing worse than being remembered as the girl who didn't go to Paris. On Wednesday's episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is currently airing its third and final season on Prime Video, the show's main character, 21-year-old Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung) seemingly chooses to forego her semester abroad in Paris so she can spend the summer at a beach house with her fiancé, Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). 'I don't want us to be separated right after we get married,' Belly tells Jeremiah. So, she decides, 'I'll stay.' Immediately, many millennial viewers were reminded of another lovestruck woman who famously chose her boyfriend over a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the French capital: Lauren Conrad from MTV's The Hills. In the Season 1 finale of The Hills, which aired in 2006, Conrad, the show's star, is offered a coveted summer internship with Teen Vogue in Paris. But like Belly, she ultimately chooses to spend the summer with her boyfriend, Jason, on a beach in Los Angeles. The aftermath of this widely frowned-upon decision was addressed in the season two premiere, during a conversation between Conrad, her coworker Whitney Port and Teen Vogue editor Lisa Love. 'Lauren didn't go to Paris. She's going to always be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris,' Love says, before asking Conrad, 'Do you regret that decision? How was your summer at the beach with your boyfriend? Did that work out for you?' Having clocked the uncanny similarities between Belly's and Conrad's decisions, fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Hills have been heading to social media platforms like TikTok and X to air their grievances. Giving up Paris for a 'manchild,' according to these loyal viewers, is so not the move. It's clear, as another fan points out, that Belly didn't watch The Hills. So, does Belly really not go to Paris? And if she doesn't, is it something she'll live to regret? And is Jeremiah actually her forever love? The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on a trilogy of books written by author Jenny Han, so technically, those who have read them know how this story plays out — though Han has teased a possible change of the ending. For right now, it seems Belly is satisfied with choosing the boy over the dream. Conrad was too, though she and Jason ultimately broke up. Solve the daily Crossword
