A Sip Worth Dreaming About: Dunkin'® and Sabrina Carpenter Reunite for Sabrina's Strawberry Daydream Refresher to Lead Its Latest Summer Lineup

Business Wire5 hours ago

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dunkin' is continuing its summer of Refreshers with a dreamlike twist, teaming up once again with two-time GRAMMY-winning global superstar Sabrina Carpenter to debut Sabrina's Strawberry Daydream Refresher —an iced, creamy Refresher available now as a $3 medium for Dunkin' Rewards members *.
Crafted with sweet strawberry flavor and creamy oatmilk, then topped with a cloud of velvety cold foam, Sabrina's Strawberry Daydream Refresher delivers the nostalgic taste of strawberries and cream in a sip that's rich yet refreshingly light. Dunkin's creamiest Refresher yet is just the latest example of how Dunkin' stirs up flavor innovation with fun, seasonal combos that come together in one crave-worthy sip.
The new drink follows an earlier collaboration, when Dunkin' and Carpenter made waves with Sabrina's Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso, which quickly became a fan obsession.
To introduce the new drink, Dunkin' partnered with acclaimed fashion photographer and director Nadia Lee Cohen, known for her surreal, cinematic style. The ad, titled ' Dunkin' Daydream Hotline,' was developed through an ongoing collaboration with Artists Equity Advertising, uniting bold creative voices to deliver striking storytelling.
The video shows Carpenter as a cheeky 'Daydream Matchmaker,' answering a call from one particularly confused late-night caller in a retro hotline-style setting. With her signature charm, she listens to dreamers who need a summer escape—prescribing the Strawberry Daydream Refresher as their perfect match.
Cool Down, All Day Long: Frozen Twist on Classic Ice Cream Flavors
Alongside Sabrina's Strawberry Daydream Refresher, Dunkin' is turning up the chill with even more cold drinks that tap into peak summer nostalgia. Frozen sips have long been a Dunkin' go-to—especially in the afternoon—and now, the brand is leaning into indulgent ice cream moments with a new lineup of Ice Cream-Inspired Frozen Coffees. Inspired by the rich, just-melted edges of ice cream on a hot afternoon, this frozen coffee trio reimagines scoop shop classics as sip-worthy treats, topped with whipped cream, drizzle and crunchy waffle cone pieces:
Cookie Dough Frozen Coffee, a most-requested fan favorite with beloved chocolate chip cookie dough flavors
Mint Chocolate Chip Frozen Coffee, featuring mint and dark chocolate flavor notes
Butter Pecan Frozen Coffee, offering the classic, iconic flavor swirl with notes of butter roasted pecan
Summer Bakery Lineup Brings Americana and Beach Day Energy
From backyard hangs to beachside celebrations, Dunkin's latest bakery lineup is packed with crowd-pleasers that capture that first-bite feeling of summer—perfect for celebrations big and small:
Summer MUNCHKINS® Bucket: A 50-count MUNCHKINS assortment served in a limited-edition, reusable beach bucket complete with sand shovel and sifter. It's part snack, part toy and all fun for summer gatherings, beach trips or backyard hangs.
Braided Apple Pie: Nothing says Americana like a warm apple pie. Just in time for the Fourth of July, this hand-held pastry is filled with soft-baked apples, wrapped in a buttery braided dough and sprinkled with sugar. It's Dunkin's first-ever apple pie—and an easy grab-and-go treat.
Star Spangled Donut: A festive favorite that's as picture-perfect as it is delicious—these star-shaped donuts are filled with vanilla-flavored buttercreme, topped with blue icing and red, white and blue sprinkles.
New Sauce, Who Dis? Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap® Joins $5 Meal Deal
A new guest-inspired build, the Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap is joining the lineup. The hearty, savory wrap features crispy hash browns, egg, melted American cheese, all-new chipotle aioli and a choice of bacon or sausage—all wrapped in a warm tortilla.
And for those looking for more value to fuel their summer routines without breaking the bank, the popular $5 Meal Deal is back. It features two Wake-Up Wrap sandwiches—including the new Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap—alongside a medium hot or iced coffee (14 oz. or 24 oz.) **.

LIONS, TIGERS, AND SCORES – OH MY! THE ICONIC SOUNDS OF OZ COME TO SPHERE

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE: SPHR) announced today new details around the sound, score and infrasound haptic seats for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere, a fully immersive experience that will make audiences feel like they have stepped inside the film. Sphere Studios is leveraging Sphere's audio technologies, along with newly discovered archival material, to create an experience that remains true to the filmmakers' intent while layering in technologies that bring it new life. 'There's Dorothy and 'Over the Rainbow' as you heard them before, and there will be Dorothy and 'Over the Rainbow' as you hear them now, with the film's classic music taking on new clarity and immersion through Sphere Immersive Sound,' said Carolyn Blackwood, Head of Sphere Studios. ' The Wizard of Oz at Sphere, heard and felt through our cutting-edge technologies, will create a new emotional connection to The Wizard of Oz that is only possible at Sphere.' To take advantage of Sphere Immersive Sound's 167,000 programmable speakers, and ability to direct sound anywhere in the venue, the original film's mono score was re-recorded to take on new clarity via Sphere Immersive Sound, while preserving the casts' vocal performances. The mono audio had to first be separated into individual stems of vocals, dialogue, and sound effects. This process, a collaboration between Sphere Studios and Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, used advanced audio technologies to create the individual components without distortion or artifact. Inside Sphere, the stems are being layered together to create a sound mix that reveals a depth and clarity unheard in the 1939 film. At Sphere, our respect for this Academy Award-winning music extended to re-recording the score on the same scoring stage as the 1930s original – retaining the same acoustic environment. To further maintain the integrity of the original score, the re-recorded score features more than 80 musicians playing in the 1930s style of film music, including techniques such as pizzicato and vibrato that were standard for the era, but are less common in modern scores. Additionally, an ocarina, a small wind instrument used during the original recording session of 'If I Only Had a Brain,' was also used for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere recording, having been passed down through generations of musicians. While re-recording the score, each section of the orchestra was also recorded individually with state-of-the-art miking. Coupled with Sphere Immersive Sound's directional capabilities and the vocal and sound effect stems, it will seem as though sound travels around the venue. For example, as the Tin Man tilts back and forth during his number, the isolated sound of the strings will also oscillate to emphasize his movement in visual and sonic unison. 'We approached the recording and mixing process for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere with a deep reverence for the original music, resulting in a breathtaking blend of legacy and innovation,' said Julianne Jordan, Grammy Award-winning music supervisor of The Wizard of Oz at Sphere. 'Sphere Immersive Sound offers opportunities for sound mixing that go well beyond a traditional theater, and this score will now be heard and felt with a level of clarity and immersion that was previously impossible.' To enhance the immersion in The Wizard of Oz at Sphere, Sphere's infrasound and haptic seat technology is being used for the first time to not only create vibrations, but also emit tones that emphasize moments in the film experience. For example, when the characters enter the haunted forest, an eerie tone will emanate from the seats, bringing the audience into the foursome's perspective and imposing the same ominous feeling. 'This is the first time sound technology has been used in this way in any venue,' said Paul Freeman, Vice President and Principal Audio Artist, Sphere Studios. 'We developed a physical way of delivering sound that allows us to not only vibrate the seats, but also place tone in them that puts you in the film – audiences will literally feel what they are hearing.' The vibrations, infrasound, and Sphere Immersive Sound will come together for maximum impact during key moments of The Wizard of Oz at Sphere. When the main characters visit the Wizard in his throne room, his voice will boom throughout the venue, complemented by tremors and low frequency sounds from the seats. Intentional reverberations will be created within the venue to completely immerse the audience in sound – and anticipation. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere will transport audiences, making them feel like they are in Oz traveling down the yellow brick road alongside Dorothy and her friends on an adventure to the Emerald City. The original film, shot for a 4:3 movie screen in the 1930s, will now fill Sphere's 160,000 sq. ft. interior display plane, which wraps up, over and around the audience to create a fully immersive visual environment. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere will utilize environmental effects and custom scents to make audiences feel as if they are part of the movie and have landed in Kansas and Oz. The sound creative team for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere includes Grammy Award-nominated music producer/sound designer Paul Freeman (Spies); Grammy Award-winning music supervisor Julianne Jordan (A Star Is Born); Academy Award-nominated composer David Newman (Anastasia); and Academy Award-winning sound engineer Shawn Murphy (Jurassic Park). And from Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services: sound engineer Tony Pilkington (Sinners); Academy Award-winning supervising sound editor/sound designer Richard King (Dune: Part Two); and Cinema Audio Society-nominated re-recording mixer Tim LeBlanc (Superman). The Wizard of Oz at Sphere opens August 28, 2025, with multiple showtimes daily.

Brandy And Monica Drop Epic Visuals To Announce Joint Tour

Source: Fred Lee / Getty R&B stars Brandy and Monica have been linked together since 1998, when they dropped their classic Grammy award-winning hit, 'The Boy Is Mine.' They entertained us all during the COVID-19 pandemic in their head-to-head Verzuz battle — and now they are gearing up for their first joint tour. In an exclusive interview with CBS Mornings on Tuesday, June 24, Brandy and Monica shared that when they decided to give fans the joint tour they have been consistently asking for, they had to sit down and discuss their relationship, which has been filled with reports of feuds and tensions for decades. 'They've been trying to get us to do a tour since '98. It just finally felt like the right time,' Brandy said. Monica then chimed in and added that the decision to tour together 'created the communication and the relationship to do it.' 'It's a musical marriage. When you start to go on a tour, especially of this caliber, we have to talk about everything,' she continued. When asked directly by Gayle King if there was ever an actual feud between them earlier in their careers, the two stars got candid. 'It started as nothing and it really did turn into something,' Monica confirmed. 'The reason I was so insistent that we communicate directly is that you take all of the peanut gallery out of the conversation.' 'If there's something to discuss, we discuss it among each other… and that just eliminates any confusion,' she said. 'There was a lot of confusion and conflict and there was a lot of people around during those early days.' Brandy added, 'The song didn't help either. We were fighting over a boy.' Monica noted how their ages at the time of their duet also played into the messiness and outside forces pitting them against each other. 'I was 18, she was 17 when we did the record,' she said. 'People forget that you're having this conversation about children, basically. You're inciting a riot amongst children! We were teenagers… We didn't really know each other.' The Boy Is Mine 24-city arena tour officially kicks off on Oct. 16 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and ends on Dec. 7 in Houston, Texas. Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, June 27 at 10 a.m. EST via Ticketmaster. Joining Brandy and Monica on tour will be Kelly Rowland, Muni Long and American Idol winner Jamal Roberts.
