A new commercial has people talking about eugenics again — more than the actual product it’s selling. How did we get here?
On July 29, Dunkin’ introduced a pair of new Refreshers to its menu. To launch one of them — the Golden Hour Refresher — the brand partnered (again) with “The Summer I Turned Pretty” star Gavin Casalegno for a new video posted on social media.
“Look, I didn’t ask to be the king of summer, it just kinda happened,” Casalegno says at the start of the 35-second spot. “This tan? Genetics.”
Casalegno then talks about his color analysis “literally” coming back “golden summer” as he lounges by a pool with a Refresher in hand.
“Can’t help it — every time I drink a Golden Hour Refresher, it’s like the sun just finds me,” he says. “So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer? Guilty as charged.”
Instead of being flooded with fans excited to try the new drinks, the ad’s comments section is full of people wondering why a certain word was used in the script.
“why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden,” asked one TikTok user — referencing Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle campaign — and they were far from the only one with that question.
“What in the Sydney Sweeney did I just watch,” asked one more.
Representatives for Casalegno and Dunkin’ did not immediately respond to TODAY.com’s request for comment. Gavin Casalegno shoots for Dunkin's Golden Hour Refresher.
The “Euphoria” actor’s campaign, which aims to sell the clothing company’s new denim line, is centered around the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” a double entendre critics say promotes the idea that Sweeney — blonde, blue eyed and white — is genetically superior.
A representative for Sweeney declined to comment to NBC News. American Eagle also did not respond to a request for comment.
Some Dunkin’ customers are feeling so icky about the situation, they say they’re forgoing their usual coffee run.
“K so skipping my Dunkin for today,” commented one user.
“i’ll go to starbucks today ig,” wrote another.
“So no American Eagle or Dunkin’ got it,” said one more.
And others are clearly just not “Team Jeremiah” since Casalegno plays Jeremiah Fisher in “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”
The series’ main conflict is driven by its main character, Belly (Lola Tung), choosing between Jeremiah and his older brother Conrad (Christopher Briney).
“We are team conrad dunkin….,” wrote sone such person.

The libscolds are filling their panties with excrement.
“...why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden?”
“All of a sudden??”
As if every commercial in the bulk of this past decade hasn’t had to feature a majority BIPOC complement of actors and a trans person to get airtime?
NOW they wanna say this is “all of a sudden?”
LEFTISTS HAVE NO SELF-AWARENESS WHATSOEVER!

The crazy left is still freaking out over the American Eagle jeans commercials, and now Dunkin Donuts is joining in on the fun with this new commercial, and the leftists are going batshit crazy again today.
We are so back, America! 😂
Don't aks me why. I don't make the rules, I just point them out.
“why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden,” asked one TikTok user
“why is the world so obsessed with endless woke BS,” asked POF on FR.
There is a huge difference between genetics and Eugenics.
Ads take time to produce.
I’d be sure it was not a copycat thing.
Sure is perfect timing, tho.
Maybe they use the same ad company.
The Sweeney ad was not about genetics. However, the left is now doing all it can to fix in the minds of the public that the ad WAS about genetics.
How mind control works.
The same libtards screaming about eugenics in these ads are the same libtards screaming loudest in support of Planned Parenthood. Hypocritical clymers they are.
Notice Sydney Sweeny nor the Dunkin’ model are NOT covered in tats.
Stay tuned for the latest episode of “As the Snowflake Melts.”
Hysterical that demonicRATS are all covfefe’d up over talk of eugenics when their most sacred cow, Planned Parenthood, was created by a eugenist named Margaret Sanger with the express intent of limiting or eradicating inferior races.
The kid is gorgeous - his his girlie fans will run to Dunkin.
Strike while the irons are hot. I pass a Dunkins every day on my way to work but it never occurs to me to stop by. I will try to remember to do so tomorrow.
