Pumpkin spice lattes return with the new Dunkin' fall menu
This is not a drill. The iconic pumpkin spice latte (A.K.A. PSL) has landed. The unofficial start to 'sweat-uh weather-uh' has begun, as fall flavors — love 'em or hate 'em — have officially landed at Dunkin', along with the return of an even sweeter collab from two-time Grammy Award-winning superstar, Sabrina Carpenter. While espresso isn't one of the ingredients in her new refresher drinks, it is in Dunkin's new Cereal N' Milk Latte mixed with marshmallowy cereal milk. The nostalgic drink even has its own merch. With Dunkin's fall menu available now, it has beaten out PSL-trendsetter Starbucks to the punch this year, with the upscale coffee chain releasing its fall menu on Aug. 26. Here are the new and returning favorites on Dunkin's fall menu. 🥣 Cereal N' Milk Latte The fast food chain is serving up bottom-of-the-bowl cereal goodness, and a kick of caffeine in a cup with its Cereal N' Milk Latte. Available hot or iced, the drink 'combines espresso with cereal milk for a marshmallow-cereal flavor that's creamy, rich and unmistakably nostalgic,' according to the company's news release. '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', according to the release. '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.' For lovers of all things cereal and milk, Dunkin' released its own line of Cereal N' Milk gear, including T-shirts, sweaters and hats on its website. 🍓 Sabrina Carpenter's trio of Daydream Refreshers Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter is back for an encore with her Daydream Refresher collab with Dunkin'. The drink is crafted with oatmilk and topped with cold foam and now comes in a trio of flavors, with mixed berry joining mango and strawberry. Dunkin' customers can create their own refresher by customizing their own drink bases, including green tea, black tea, lemonade, sparkling water, water or oatmilk, and flavors and amount of sweetness. 'More fun is brewing next month,' the company teased in the release, 'so fans can stay tuned to Dunkin's social channels for what's next.' 🎃 Pumpkin' at Dunkin' The Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte has entered the room, crowned with whipped cream, caramel and cinnamon sugar. For customers who don't want to take the plunge into fall just yet, a pumpkin flavor swirl can be added to any hot or iced coffee, cold brew or espresso drink. The following new and returning tasty treats have also landed on the menu: Iced Pumpkin Loaf Pumpkin Cake Donut Pumpkin Munchkins Donut Hole Treats Kreme Delight Donut (new) Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns (new) Maple Sugar Bacon Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap Ham and Swiss Croissant Stuffer Braided Apple Pie 💵 Dunkin' Deals For a limited time, the $6 meal deal is back. It comes with a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, hash browns and a medium hot coffee (14 oz.) or iced coffee (24 oz.). (The deal excludes espresso and cold brew beverages, seasoned bacon and loaded hash browns.) For members of the Dunkin' Rewards loyalty program, the following deals are available for a limited time: Now through Aug. 31: Get 10 Munchkins for $2 with a beverage purchase.

23 Bizarre Facts That Sound Fake But Are Actually True
Until 2015 in the UK, the coloring in red skittles contained carmine, which derives from the crushed abdomen of female beetles. There's an 80% chance your toothbrush has fecal matter on it. Even if it's stored in a closed container. Even toothbrushes stored outside the bathroom may be contaminated with fecal matter. Winnie the Pooh was banned from a Polish playground because he doesn't wear pants. The casting team for the Harry Potter movies was strongly against non-British actors being a part of the film, which meant that Robin Williams was turned down for Hagrid. Liam Aiken was the only American actor who even got the chance to audition for Harry Potter. Aside from that one exception, the casting team insisted on hiring only British actors. Because of that rule, Robin Williams reached out to director Chris Columbus about playing Hagrid but was politely turned down. As casting director Janet Hirshenson later explained, once Columbus said no to Robin, there was no way he was going to make an exception for anyone else. Cows have accents, and it goes way beyond moo! UK dairy farmers observed that cows seemed to moo with slight variations depending on the region. Curious about this, researchers from the University of London conducted a study and confirmed it — cows really do have regional differences in their moos. Interestingly, birds are also known to develop distinct local dialects. Nutmeg isn't just used in food. It can also be hallucinogenic if consumed in large doses. McDonald's used to have stirring spoons for their coffee until people began using them to snort cocaine. Pirates wore eye patches not because they were missing an eye, but to keep one eye adjusted to darkness. This let them switch quickly between bright sunlight above deck and the dim conditions below deck, giving them an advantage in battle or while moving through the ship. You can actually go to Norway that is, or even Hell, Michigan. And don't worry, it doesn't really get hot. Pope John Paul II is an honorary Harlem Globetrotter. Believe it or not, the largest tire manufacturer in the world In 2011, Guinness World Records named Lego the biggest tire manufacturer in the world. That year, the company produced 381 million tiny tires — far more than Bridgestone's 190 million, Michelin's 184 million, or Goodyear's 181 million. Sure, Lego tires are much easier to make since they're miniature and don't require everything an actual motor vehicle tire needs, but the numbers are still surprising! Roses are among the oldest plants on Earth, with fossils dating back 35 million years. The oldest living rose, which grows on a wall at Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany, is over 1,000 years old — and amazingly, it even survived a World War II bombing. President Theodore Roosevelt had a pet hyena named Bill. There's a pretty high chance that the ground coffee you use likely contains cockroaches. On August 9, 1996, production on Titanic took an unexpected and alarming turn when almost 80 cast and crew members were sent to the hospital after eating clam chowder on set. At first, the incident was thought to be a case of food poisoning, but a Nova Scotia newspaper later reported that the chowder had been deliberately spiked with PCP. Among those affected were actor Bill Paxton and director James Cameron. It's wild to think about, but none of us have ever actually seen our own faces — only reflections and images. Every time we look in a mirror or scroll past a photo, we're only catching a filtered representation. The world sees us directly, but we only know ourselves through glass and pixels. Stop signs used to be yellow. Before the 1920s, stop signs didn't follow any uniform rules — they came in all different shapes and colors. In 1922, the American Association of State Highway Officials decided that stop signs should be yellow and octagon-shaped. At the time, they didn't choose red because red paint tended to fade quickly and appeared too dark at night. It wasn't until the 1950s, after more durable red paint was developed, that the now-familiar red stop sign became the standard. There's actually a gender-neutral word for "niece" or "nephew" — It's "nibling." If you're brother or sister is becoming a parent but they don't know the sex yet, you could easily say, "I have a nibling on the way!" "Paul Winchell, who voiced Tigger in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, invented an artificial heart." Technically, strawberries and raspberries aren't berries, but bananas and avocados are. Strawberries aren't considered true berries because they don't develop from a single ovary — instead, each tiny seed on the outside comes from its own ovary. Bananas, on the other hand, grow from a single ovary and meet the botanical definition of a berry, which is why they count as one. Before people became obsessed with painting fake freckles on their faces, people wore fake moles made of things like silk, velvet, and even mouse skin as a fashion statement. While stars like Marilyn Monroe, Eva Mendes, and Cindy Crawford popularized beauty marks, people wore facial patches for a variety of reasons. Some covered scars or blemishes, others made political statements, and some even used them to express their personality or relationship status. These patches came in all sorts of shapes — circles, hearts, stars, and moons. The trend saw a short revival in the 1940s before disappearing again. The dot over the lowercase letters 'i' and 'j' actually has a name. It's called a tittle. It appears to be a blend of the words "tiny" and "little"...now how adorable is that?! Lastly, Rapper Pusha T and Justin Timberlake wrote the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle for McDonald's. Unfortunately, they were only paid a one-time fee, and they don't own any publishing rights. Pusha T mentioned in a podcast that he received a $500,000 upfront payment for a jingle — a hefty sum, but he doesn't hold any publishing rights to it. Since the jingle has been used for years, he likely could have made much more if he had. On the other hand, he also created the jingle for Arby's 'We Have the Meats' slogan, and he owns 40% of the publishing rights for that one. Do you have a cool fact to share?
