Dunkin’s “Free Coffee” on May 19 Was Just a Marketing Stunt to Get You to Download Another App, AITA for Being Mad?

May 19, 2025

So Dunkin’ is pulling the ol’ “free medium coffee” trick again on May 19, but don’t get your hopes up for a life-changing caffeine boost. The fine print reads: “Must be a DD Perks member, order via the app, and buy a donut.” So basically, you’re paying $2.99 for a donut you didn’t want to get a $2.50 coffee you could’ve made at home.

TL;DR: You’re not getting a free coffee, you’re getting a loyalty app handjob and a glazed munchkin.

But the real pièce de résistance? They’re also pushing their new “Mystery Flavor” swirl, which is just vanilla syrup with a splash of existential dread. Congrats, Dunkin’. You’ve officially become the WeWork of breakfast.

AITA for thinking this is just a tax on people who forgot to make their morning pour-over? Discuss below. 🍩💀
