If you’ve ever grabbed a frozen coffee from Dunkin' thinking it’s basically just iced coffee with a little flavor, this viral video might ruin that illusion permanently.
A guy filming inside a Dunkin’ decided to break down exactly what’s in the frozen coffee he just ordered, and let’s just say the numbers he reads out sound less like a drink and more like the ingredient list for a birthday cake meant for an entire office.
According to him, the frozen coffee clocks in at 185 grams of sugar.
That’s 46 teaspoons.
For comparison, he says that’s roughly the same amount of sugar as eating 14 glazed donuts in one sitting.
And that’s before you even get to the rest of the numbers.
The drink he’s holding up supposedly contains around 930 calories and 194 carbs, which is basically an entire day’s worth of sugar for most people packed into a cup that people casually grab on the way to work.
While reading through the ingredient list on camera, he points out something else that caught his eye: sugar shows up multiple times, along with high fructose corn syrup.
Then comes the kicker.
The drink he ordered has “pumpkin” in the name, but as he scrolls through the ingredients, he notes that there’s no actual pumpkin listed anywhere.
It’s basically flavoring, syrup, and sweeteners stacked on top of each other.
His final line pretty much sums up the entire video.
“If America runs on this… we’re f***ed.”
And the timing of the clip going viral is interesting.
Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been pushing for companies like Dunkin' and Starbucks to provide more safety and health data about the sugar levels and ingredients used in their drinks.
Critics argue that ultra-sweet coffee drinks have quietly become one of the biggest sugar bombs in the American diet.
Considering estimates that about two-thirds of Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic, some people online are starting to ask whether drinks with numbers like this should come with the same kind of warning labels you see on energy drinks.
