The three H's in "Large," of course, represent some New England accent charm, but it's also because this is quite the extra-sized cup. This week Dunkin announced that their Wicked Lahhhge Tumbler is now available exclusively at select Dunkin’ locations across the country.

This new product buts the coffee and donut giant in the tumbler game, but also allows guests to get their fill of caffeine.

"Go big or go home with 40 ounces of your favorite iced beverage – pour in a Dunkin’ Iced Coffee to fuel your early morning trips to the farmers market, or a Dunkin' Refresher to keep you cool while sitting by the pool," Dunkin' said via a press release.

The plan was for this item to launch ahead of Memorial Day weekend so those embarking on a long roundtrip would have the tumbler and drink of choice in their cupholder for the drive.

This launch campaign is also aimed at rewarding those who decide to pick up one of these new tumblers. "Dunkin’ is also offering 3X points on all large Iced Beverages from Wednesday, May 22 through Sunday, May 26 for Dunkin’ Rewards members, just in time to fuel those Memorial Day roadtrips," Dunkin' continued.

What Else Can You Pour Into The Wicked Lahhhge Tumbler This Weekend?

Well, before you get any ideas, you may notice that many of the newer modeled Dunkin' franchise locations do have a tap system installed behind the counter. Sure, it resembles a bar full of draft beer, but those taps are meant to fill your cup with different brew flavors.

So, here are some of your choices for filling your new Dunkin' tumbler. Of course, you can go with the traditional and classic iced coffee. There's also the slightly stronger cold brew or iced Americano. If you're looking for an enhanced, sweeter flavor, why not fill that thing with an iced latte or enhanced latte that includes whipped cream? There's also an iced cappuccino now available at most locations.

For the kids or the aforementioned poolside option, Dunkin's Refreshers have become quite popular as well. They come in mixed flavors, but Dunkin' is currently in favor of the strawberry dragonfruit as it is "Made with B vitamins and energy from green tea."

Lastly, an Iced Tea can also be your Tumbler drink of choice, as can a SPARKD energy drink. Although, I feel the shake of caffeine overload at just the thought of downing 40 ounces of such a thing.

At ShopDunkin', the brand's official merch site, you can currently find other gear available. This includes items like bumper stickers, shirts, and an inflatable spider donut.

Ranking 3 New Ben And Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavors

Ben and Jerry's new flavors couldn't be more different from each other. The popular New England based ice cream brand has added three options to their creative family so far this year, and here I will rank them all.

Coincidentally, I tried each of these in one sitting. This was an unplanned taste test. With a house full of young kids, a visiting friend recently stopped by and knew the way to quickly win over the youngsters. Pints of ice cream.

Before I get into explaining which was best, I should note I am not an ice cream (or dessert) enthusiast by any means. Dare I say, I hardly seek out ice cream, even in the summer months. However, if it is put in front of me, I will eat it if it's one of my favorite varieties.

If I'm going for ice cream, though, Ben and Jerry's is easily my brand of choice. Being a New Englander, I have toured their Vermont location a handful of times. Their half-baked in a cone is my go-to choice.

If you are not familiar, these are the Ben and Jerry's new flavors that have rolled out in 2024. Impretzively Fudged, PB S'More, and Marshmallow Sky. Now, it's important to note that Marshmallow Sky is new just to pints. Meaning, it was available in their scoop shops only.

Another flavor entitled Strawberry Cheezecake was also unveiled earlier this year. This did not qualify here as a new flavor ranking because it had been an ice cream flavor (branded "cheesecake). The new "cheeze" version is a vegan dairy-free dessert.

Upon seeing these at my house, I realized they were new. So, instead of selecting one pint to scoop, I took one for the team and realized I needed one proper scoop of each.

My process was to try one at a time and not have all three in the same bowl. Blending flavors might compromise the intended taste.

As a result, there was a flavor where one bite was enough. Another where I couldn't get enough, and the third was somewhere in between.

Here is my official ice cream ranking of Ben and Jerry's new flavors.

#3 Impretzively Fudged

It's chocolate ice cream with fudge covered pretzel pieces and pretzel swirl. The problem here is that I do not like chocolate covered pretzels. Oddly enough, I love pretzels alone. Dip them in sugar and ice cream and it either compromises the flavor or classifies as "too much." So, this was my least favorite.

#2 PB S'More

Here we have toasted marshmallow ice cream with peanut butter cups, graham cracker pieces, and marshmallow swirl. The graham crackers are the star of this show. They pair better with the ice cream and chocolate than the typical marshmallow of a S'More. This was certainly a tasty delight, but I feel if the marshmallow swirl did not need to be invited to the party.

#1 Marshmallow Sky

Admittedly, I was a little cautious about the blue ice cream color thinking it could suffer from cotton candy syndrome (where too much equals upset stomach city). That is not the case here. It's marshmallow ice cream with swirls, and then chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough. The latter of the cookie dough bites just brings this to another level. Some sweets get forced together and some just belong together and make each other better. That's the case here. It's no wonder Ben and Jerry's decided to promote this flavor. It tastes as cheerful as it looks.
