Dunkin’ Donuts Newest Treats Are Out of This World — Literally

May 01, 2018

Dunkin’ Donuts is always coming up with new and exciting ways to get us caffeinated, and lately, the company has been trying out some wild new ideas. From donut fries to coffee-infused beer, the coffee chain knows how to keep us guessing when it comes to our on-the-go caffeine needs. But the brand’s newest menu offerings are, quite honestly, out of this world, and Coolatta fans are going to freak out.

In the most colorful concoctions of all time, Dunkin’ is blasting off into the warm weather months with a slew of new menu options, including two new Coolatta frozen beverages, and they seem equal parts sweet and tart. Starting now, you can try the the Cosmic Cotton Candy Coolatta, which is primarily cotton candy-flavored and topped with a hint of blue raspberry, while the Cosmic Pineapple Coolatta brings together pineapple and blue raspberry flavors.

If you’re hitting that afternoon slump and truly need to reach for the stars, you can also grab the limited-edition Comet Candy donut, which features white icing and pink, blue, and purple cotton candy-flavored candies sprinkled on top for a bit of extra sweetness.

If you’re looking for something a little more savory, fear not: Dunkin’ Donuts is also bringing back the Smoked Sausage Breakfast Sandwich for a limited time. It’s stacked with egg, melted cheese, and smoked split sausage, all piled onto an English muffin.

The Cosmic Coolatta frozen drinks, Comet Candy Donut, and Smoked Sausage Breakfast Sandwich are now available at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide for a limited time. And even better news? All small-sized Coolattas are available for $2 from now until May 27, so we know Coolatta fans will be over the moon at this news.

Chick-fil-A’s New Sandwich Is Drenched In Cheese & Honey

Chick-fil-A is switching things up in a *big* way. For the first time in what feels like forever, the fast food chain is debuting a spicy, cheesy, and honey-drowned take on their Original Chicken Sandwich. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich is one of CFA’s seasonal menu offerings for fall 2023, and it’s looking up to be a total fan-fave, once released on August 28.

About Chick-fil-A's New Sandwich

The sandwich build starts with their signature chicken patty, which then gets topped with spreadable pimiento cheese, pickled jalapeños, and a generous drizzle of honey to balance everything out. Obsessed. According to Chick-fil-A, the pimento cheese spread is made in-house. It incorporates only the best – sharp cheddar cheese, green chilis, and red pimiento – to create a concoction that’ll melt gloriously all around the sammie. The fried chicken chain also noted that they’ve never used pickled jalapeños for their entrees, and the new addition is oh-so enticing.

"We wanted to create a standout sandwich that would deliver a unique spin for our guests, without losing the classic taste of the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich uses ingredients and flavors our guests have never experienced at Chick-fil-A before, balancing savory, sweet and spicy elements using the highest quality ingredients," said Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A Chef and creator behind the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, in the official announcement. "With our custom-made pimento cheese and specially sourced jalapeños, we hope to deliver a new and exciting sandwich our guests will love.”

Another New Chick-Fil-A Menu Item? The Caramel Crumble Milkshake

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich isn’t all for fall, though. CFA's channeling the cozy season even further with the introduction of the Caramel Crumble Milkshake. We’re drooling already. Crafted to pair with the new sandwich, the milkshake blends ice cream with butterscotch and caramel flavors and gets finished off with blondie crumbles, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.

Why Timothée Chalamet Abandoned “Good Friend” Austin Butler’s ‘Elvis’ Method For Bob Dylan Role

Austin Butler as Elvis, Selena Gomez as Linda Rondstat, and now Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan — there will never be enough biopics for me! (The real question is when are we going to get a Taylor Swift movie?). When pictures from the set of the new Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown, hit Twitter, I had to do a double take because Timothée Chalamet looks so much like the musician I couldn't believe my eyes! You can watch the A Complete Unknown trailer here.

Timothée is going to be joined by Met Gala queen Elle Fanning, as well as Top Gun superstar Monica Barbaro. Here's everything you need to know about the movie — and our favorite Bob Dylan songs to listen to while you wait for its release.

Keep reading to see the latest updates from Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.

Timothée Chalamet stars in A Complete Unknown, coming to theaters December 25, 2024.
He's joined by Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
The movie follows Bob Dylan's career in the 1960s as he rises to fame and later shifts from folk to rock'n'roll.

Did Timothée Chalamet take inspiration from Austin Butler’s Elvis?

Timothée Chalamet recently revealed that while he originally wanted to approach A Complete Unknown by taking direct inspiration from Bob Dylan, he quickly changed his tone...so to speak. "Somebody once said to me, you can't make a movie about a painter because it's not interesting to watch paint dry," he says in People's exclusive video. "Bob has that element because he's not one of these forward-facing musicians."

While Timmy saw Natalie Portman a sequence in Jackie "step-for-step exactly what Jackie did," and paid attention to "all this stuff that I saw my good friend Austin Butler crush it with on Elvis," he quickly realized "I gotta do none of this because this is not my style."

"Bob did not have a vocal coach," he continues. "He had two bottles of red wine and four packs of cigarettes. There's no way to impersonate that." One of my favorite things about biopics is seeing how a well-known actor portrays a recognizable figure. And you can see Timothée Chalamet's interpretation of Bob Dylan in theaters December 25!

Monica Barbaro Sings Her Heart Out

twitter.com

We got a look at Monica Barbaro as singer-songwriter Joan Baez, who was one of the first major artists in the 1960s to record Bob Dylan's music!

I was super impressed to learn Timothée showed up and sang live for the film. "It was important for me to play and sing on set because it was in the spirit of the movie to do it live," he says in a video from People. "Many of the artists through American pop culture that had the balls to turn their back on what was expected of them, that moment started with Bob. His words are relevant; 'Times They are A Changing' ' is relevant, 'Blowin' in the Wind' is relevant."

Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet In "A Complete Unknown"

Elle Fanning totally embodies the late '60s vibe in this fall outfit. The bold maroon blazer, the long straight hair, and the striped turtleneck — I love it all! Elle is starring this Bob Dylan movie as Sylvie Russo, a university student and artist Bob falls for in the '60s.

Thanks to some onset leaks, we also got a glimpse of the movie's version of The Freewheelin'! Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet look incredible as Sylvia Russo and Bob Dylan. I'm a sucker for any kind of recreation, so seeing this new version of the classic record cover is incredible!!

The First Pictures From Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan Movie

twitter.com

Timothée Chalamet has totally transformed into Bob Dylan on the set of A Complete Unknown. And when I saw the pictures of Timothée carrying the guitar my jaw dropped!! He completely engrossed himself in Wonka and Dune 2 and I'm so excited to see him do the same for this Bob Dylan movie.

What is the movie about Bob Dylan called?

A Complete Unknown Plot

Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan movie is called A Complete Unknown. The movie filmed around New York City in the spring of 2024, and James Mangold is serving as director (you might recognize his name from Logan, Girl, Interrupted, and Walk the Line). The movie will cover the period during the 1960s when Bob Dylan shifted from folk to rock'n'roll, changing the face of pop culture (and culture in general, TBH), forever.

"When that movie finally comes out, people are going to be shocked because you're going to think you're hearing Bob Dylan sing," vocal coach Eric Vetro tells PEOPLE. "[Timothée Chalamet] just has this uncanny ability to not impersonate, but really breathe life into it. He's embodying Bob Dylan and what he was like at that age."

A Complete Unknown Cast

The A Complete Unknown cast is incredible! Alongside Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, we'll see Top Gun: Maverick's Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Nick Offerman as Alan Lomax.

A Complete Unknown Release Date

A Complete Unknown will hit theaters on December 25, 2024. And since Timothée Chalamet has been seen in turtlenecks, hats, and jackets on set, this sounds like the perfect cozy movie to me!

I always need some brand new music to listen to once the weather gets chilly, and I will for sure be listening to anything Timothée records.

What song did Bob Dylan write for a movie?

Bob Dylan wrote "Things Have Changed" for the 2000 movie Wonder Boys, which starred Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, and Katie Holmes. This Bob Dylan song ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Original Songand the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song!

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door," which is arguably the singer's most popular track, was released two months after the 1973 premiere of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid as a part of the film's soundtrack.

What are some other Bob Dylan songs to listen to?

I totally agree that one of the best Bob Dylan songs is "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," but "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" are also great songs to listen to if you're a new Bob Dylan fan. So far, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is my personal favorite song.

His style is the perfect blend of rock and folk that reminds me of summer picnics and walks in the woods. His sound also reportedly inspired Taylor Swift's Folklore!

Missing McDonald's Snack Wraps? Run To Burger King For Your Next Fix

McDonald’s Snack Wraps used to be my absolute go-to, so it was a full-on catastrophic event when they told the public they’d be discontinued in 2016 (RIP all-day breakfast, too). No other fast food item has been able to fill the satisfyingly crunchy void – that is, until now.

Image via Burger King

Burger King recently announced the addition of new Royal Crispy Wrap to menus nationwide starting August 14, and from what I know so far, it beautifully mimics everything that the Snack Wrap was: crispy chicken layered with tomato, lettuce, and your choice of sauce – all neatly tucked into a tortilla. The only thing BK’s forgetting this go-around is the cheese, but I’ll forgive them.

The new Snack Wrap "dupes" will be available to order in three different flavors. Of the classic, spicy, and honey mustard flavors coming to the menu, I have my gaze set on the spicy one. Each one is affordable at just $3 per wrap, making for the perfect midday pick-me-up or late night snack. These are going to hit hard with a Diet Coke in-hand.

The Royal Crispy Wraps are allegedly only available for a limited time, so get ready to feast before they’re all gone!

Does Burger King have Snack Wraps?

Yes, Burger King will start selling their Royal Crispy Wraps, which are very similar to McDonald’s beloved Snack Wraps, on August 14, 2023.

Why did McDonald's discontinue Snack Wraps?

McDonald’s simply wasn’t selling enough Snack Wraps to keep them on the menu. They were also time-consuming to make in-store, contributing to overall productivity (or lack thereof).

What was in the McDonald's Snack Wrap?

The Snack Wrap from McDonald's was constructed of your choice of grilled or crispy chicken, a cheese blend (shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack), and lettuce. You topped it with your choice of sauce (ranch, honey mustard, or salsa), and got it all wrapped up in a tortilla.

Renée Zellwegger & Leo Woodall Prove Age Gaps Are Sexy In 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy' Trailer

If you're a rom-com fan who also can't get enough of Jane Austen's books, you've probably seen the Bridget Jones movies. The story (which is loosely based on Pride & Prejudice) follows the titular Bridget Jones, a 30-something who sets out on a mission to improve herself over the course of a year while she looks for a partner. And, in true romantic movie form, she keeps a diary the whole time. Not only can we rewatch the original trilogy as many times as we want, but we're also getting a fourth movie! Here's everything we know about Bridget Jones 4.
