BOSTON (AP) β The Dunkinβ coffee chain says customers will have to do without a βdouble cupβ for their iced drinks.
A new campaign focused in Massachusetts and Rhode Island tells customers they can no longer nest their iced drinks in a second, foam cup for extra insulation as the company moves to eliminate its polystyrene cups.
The brand says the double-cup habit was started in New England and is most common there. But by Dec. 1, all the regionβs stores will swap foam cups for paper ones that the company says are more environmentally friendly.
New ads tell customers that the βdouble cup is breaking upβ because the chainβs relationship with foam isnβt sustainable. Cold drinks are being marketed as βiced, delicious and single.β
The company says its foam cups will be eliminated worldwide next year.
