Dunkin’ is dropping ‘DunKings’ merch Monday following popular Super Bowl ad
A year after Dunkin’ teamed up with Ben Affleck for the company’s first ever Super Bowl ad, they’re back with another spot during the big game, much to the delight of Bostonians and New Englanders everywhere.
First teased during the Grammys, the Super Bowl commercial sees Affleck continue on his journey to become a popstar, recruiting fellow Bostonian Matt Damon and Boston sports icon Tom Brady to help him crash wife Jennifer Lopez’s recording session in the studio.
Decked out in amazing (outrageous?) Dunkin’ tracksuits, the DunKings debut their pop banger, “Don’t Dunk Away at My Heart,” much to the amusement and embarrassment of J.Lo.
“There’s no way to watch this campaign and its many outtakes, to try The DunKings Iced Coffee with the fun MUNCHKINS® skewer, or to wear the pink and orange tracksuits without smiling. That’s the genuine, lighthearted connection we want people to feel when they think about Dunkin’,” chief marketing officer Jill McVicar said in a press release. “You can chase your dreams, aim high, and have a laugh while doing it all as part of the Dunkin’ family. Dunkin’ fuels your passions, no matter how ambitious or out there they may seem.”
