Dunkin's latest summer menu addition, the 'Dirty Pepsi,' has generated significant attention and debate. This unique concoction blends Dunkin's coffee milk with Pepsi and is topped with Sweet Cold Foam, tapping into the popular "dirty soda" trend. While offering a novel taste experience, the beverage has raised considerable concerns regarding its nutritional value.
A medium serving reportedly contains around 68 grams of added sugar, far exceeding daily recommendations. Coupled with the caffeine from both Pepsi and coffee milk, the drink presents a high intake of sugar and stimulants. This contrasts with the growing market for perceived healthier options like prebiotic sodas, although those also face scrutiny. Experts advise moderation and suggest traditional coffee or unsweetened beverages as healthier alternatives at Dunkin'.
