Charli D’Amelio is a social media personality who regularly shares her love for Dunkin Donuts with her followers.
Her love/obsession with Dunkin Donuts has paid off.
The Charli is now an official drink on the Dunkin Donuts menu.
Her namesake drink contains Dunkin Donuts cold brew, whole milk, and three pumps of caramel swirl.
D’Amelio has admitted to drinking between 1 and 3 of these Dunkin’ beverages daily.

Reviving Dunkin’
Dunkin’ is one of many companies who suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It recently announced it was closing 800 locations by the end of 2020; 450 of those were inside Speedway gas stations.
In an effort to boost sales, Dunkin’ introduced its fall menu extra early this year; pumpkin drinks debuted on August 19.
Dunkin is kickin’ off fall with pumpkin spiced lattes and apple cider donuts getting added to the menu this week! 🎃 Lets get SPOOKY 👻 https://t.co/3OJ0qu4MS6 @ovictoriamedia pic.twitter.com/XVUl822Pyl

Dunkin’ is also getting in the beer business, announcing a collaboration with Harpoon Brewery in August 2020 for donut-infused beer.
New products plus a partnership with Charli D’Amelio should certainly boost Dunkin’s fall sales.
