Boston, MA – Dunkin’ is set to launch a new line of caffeinated energy drinks called Sparkd’ Energy, adding a fizzy and fruity option to its menu. The chain announced on Wednesday that these new drinks will contain a mix of vitamins, minerals, and caffeine, providing customers with a boost of energy in various flavors.
In addition to the Sparkd’ Energy drinks, Dunkin’ will also introduce limited-time menu items like churro donuts and breakfast empanadas nationwide. The chain aims to offer customers a variety of options to choose from, catering to different tastes and preferences.
The caffeine content of Dunkin’s Sparkd’ Energy drinks has been a topic of interest, with a large drink containing 192 mg of caffeine, just under half of the recommended daily limit for adults. This information provides consumers with a better understanding of the energy boost they can expect from these new beverages.
The launch of Dunkin’s Sparkd’ Energy drinks coincides with ongoing controversy surrounding high-caffeine energy drinks sold by Panera Bread. These drinks, known as Charged Lemonades, have been linked to multiple deaths and serious health issues, prompting lawsuits against the chain.
Despite warnings added by Panera about the caffeine content in their Charged Lemonades, the beverages are still available for purchase. Legal battles surrounding the health implications of these drinks continue, as Panera’s request to dismiss a lawsuit was recently denied by a judge.
As Dunkin’ prepares to introduce its new energy drink line, the company is likely to face scrutiny and comparisons to other caffeinated beverages on the market. With health concerns around high caffeine levels making headlines, Dunkin’ will need to ensure transparency and consumer safety with its Sparkd’ Energy drinks.
