Video summary
In this enthusiastic video, the hosts visit two major fast-food chains, Starbucks and Dunkin', to test their new fall menu items despite the sweltering Florida heat. The journey begins at a crowded Starbucks location where the team orders an extensive variety of seasonal beverages and baked goods, including pumpkin cream cheese muffins, iced banana bread chai, pecan crunch lattes, and various pumpkin spice drinks. They are particularly impressed by the pumpkin cream cheese muffin, which they rate highly for its texture and flavor, noting that it tastes more like a cake than traditional pumpkin pie. The hosts also enjoy the iced banana bread chai, praising its unique cold foam powder and strong banana notes, while finding the pecan crunch latte slightly less impressive but still enjoyable.
The group then moves on to Dunkin' Donuts to compare their offerings, where they are greeted with a frozen coffee chiller and pumpkin-themed donuts topped with mini munchkins. The hosts find the Dunkin' pumpkin muffin delicious, especially when paired with the complimentary donut topping, giving it a perfect score. They also try the frozen coffee chiller, which they describe as tasting like a caramel macchiato with a coffee kick, rating it an eight out of ten. However, their experience with the nutty pumpkin protein latte is more mixed; while not bad, they feel it lacks depth and rate it lower due to its heavy pumpkin flavor that overwhelms them quickly.
Ultimately, the hosts conclude that Starbucks edges out Dunkin' in terms of drink quality, particularly favoring the shake and espresso over the Dunkin' options, though they admit Dunkin' wins on the donut experience. The video highlights the distinct differences between the two brands, with Starbucks offering a more balanced pumpkin flavor profile and Dunkin' providing a heavier, more intense taste that not everyone can handle. Despite the high caffeine intake from trying so many drinks, the hosts express their love for the fall season and encourage viewers to try these items while they are available, ending the video with plans for Halloween decorations and a friendly sign-off.

>> Maybe the pumpkin cream cheese muffin.
That sounds so good.
>> Or Oh my gosh. The banana bread in every
sip. Iced banana bread chai.

of the chai, we're going to do the latte
cuz I don't think I like chai.
>> They also have an iced banana bread
mocha. No, it's matcha.

chai better?

them all and try them. Ice pumpkin cream
shake and espresso.

>> and I'm not really a pumpkin girl. Like
I don't really like pumpkin stuff.

frappuccino? Oh, they're going to hate
us here. It's busy and we're ordering a
lot.
>> We got
the pumpkin cream cheese.
>> Can I get the pumpkin cream cheese
muffin? And then I'll do an iced banana
bread chai. And then an iced pumpkin
cream shake and espresso in a grande.
>> What else?
>> And then uh last thing, a pumpkin spice
chai in a grande.
>> Anything else?
>> Actually, let's do a grande. The pecan
crunch. That'll be it.
>> 3179 out the window.
>> Thank you so much.
>> I think we tried the peacon one last
year, but I can't remember what it
tasted like. I can't remember if I liked
that.
>> Well, for either way, these are four of
the top drinks on Starbucks. The one
thing that we want from you is comment
down below your favorite Starbucks or
Duncan fall menu item. Comment down
below what you would get or what you do
get from one of these places.

a I need to see. I've seen people on on
my for you page on Tik Tok. Oh gosh.
It's one of the drinks has a like a
little mini munchkin donut on the top.
>> That's sick. I wonder if that's actually
a thing or do you think they just put
the munchkin on there?
>> They probably just put the munchkin on
there for like dessert. Or does it come
with it though? They might just order
munchkins and put it on.
>> No, I think I think there's I'm going to
have to look up the menu. I think
there's something with a donut that they
put on a straw.
>> Enough talking. Let's go get our drinks.
>> Oh
my gosh, look at this. We literally I
didn't even realize all these drinks
look the exact same,

new ones for this fall, but this one was

pumpkin.
>> No, that's crazy to me. Doesn't really

personally can't I can only have one sip
of that and I I can't do multiple sip.
>> Yeah, this is good for like a one or two
sip, but if you drank the whole thing,
it'd probably be like

two. Those are that good.
>> I got the pumpkin. Uh I like the banana
bread

And then last thing, the nutty pumpkin
ice protein latte in a uh medium. I am

name into it.
>> Dunkin Dunkin Dunkin Dunk.
>> All right, here we are. The final store

that muffin looks amazing. So, we got
three drinks. One of them, which I
didn't know was frozen. This one.
>> I'm going to try this.
>> We got to drink it before it melts.
>> I need some carbs and
>> it says it's 100° now outside. It
literally says 100°.
>> You're just going right for it. Oh, they
gave us pumpkin munchkin and a big
donut.
>> I wonder if you meant to do that. All
right. Ready?
>> What's the pumpkin?
>> M. This one looks fire. It looks like
the same color as the star.
>> I love how it tastes if that makes
sense. I'll give that an 7 out of 10.
It's pretty good, but kind of just
tastes off. Like it doesn't taste like a
full-blown pumpkin.
>> Eight out of 10. Ooh.
>> Now that looks
>> That's what they do. That's what they do
on TikTok.
>> That's what I wanted to do.
>> I will say 8 out of 10 because the cream
cheese just makes it way better. The
Starbucks one.
>> It does.
>> Starbucks might have Duncan beat with
that, but the Duncan one is still very
good. I will say.
>> Now, let's move on to the drink. We
should try the frozen one first before
it melts.
>> All right.
>> It's literally already melting.
>> Okay.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> So, this is got protein in it.
>> This is the frozen coffee chill.
>> Oh, wait. That's a frozen coffee
chiller. Yeah. Wait. So, that's the
chill. This one's the protein there.
>> This is the Yeah, this is the chill.
Ready?
>> Yeah.
>> It's chill because it's frozen.
>> Oh, I don't know why I didn't catch
that.
>> Oh, don't tell your rating yet.
>> M.
>> All right. I have my rating. Ready?
Three, two, one. Eight.
>> Eight out of 10. Oh yeah. It's
>> It's pretty fire.
>> It's pretty good. It kind of tastes like
a
>> fire now.
>> Like a caramel macchiato but with coffee
flavor.
>> Let's take a sip.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, we have to eat it with the donut.
This is how you do it. This is the um
pumpkin.
>> M.
>> That donut is 10 out of 10.
>> Mhm.
>> Look at that thing.
>> 10 out of 10 donut.
>> It's glowing.
>> And I'm getting my time of the month.
>> Way better. Way better than the muffin.
I will say
>> I want to take another bite. I knew the
I knew that I knew the Duncan would
>> Wow. And are the munchkins the same
thing?
>> One munchkin each chocolate or a half
munchkin?
>> Half a munchkin each.
>> Mhm.
>> Oh yeah. 10 out of 10. If you like
pumpkin.
>> Wow.
>> Out of freaking 10. So before we try the
ice cloud dunk latte, let's try the
protein one.
>> Is the ice cloud dunk latte? Is that
new?
>> Nutty protein.
>> Is the ice cloud new?
>> I don't think so.
>> Is that new?
>> Mhm.
>> Oh god, you're giving me mixed feelings.
>> Nutty pumpkin. Oh god, I got really
dizzy. Did you shake the Did you just
shake it? Did you shake the the car?
>> No. I don't know how I feel about that.
>> I give it like a six out of 10.
>> It's not bad, but it's not.
>> It's five or six. It's like half and
half. Like it's got that coffee flavor
that's kind of makes it good.
>> Oh, it's good. And then it's like Wait,
>> put the brakes on a little bit.
>> 6 out of 10. Six out of 10. It's not
bad. Some of you might like this one.
This one's definitely more of a six out
of 10 for me.
>> Not bad, though.
>> I would say five for me. It's like half
and half. I like it, but I don't like
it.
>> So, this is the iced cloud dunk latte.
>> And this is the final one. I can only
have a sip of this because I'm about to
fall over
>> final one. Oh, wait. Do we sip it out of
there because of the foam?
>> So, this one doesn't take a straw.
>> Last drink, y'all. And we're going to
rate my rating compared to Starbucks.
>> All right. Let me try it without the
foam.
>> Oh, caramel.
>> Let me try Let me try without the foam.
>> Lots of caramel. Caramel.
>> Oh, that changed my perspective. Hold
on.
>> Yeah, but you don't drink it like that.
You can drink it through the cloud.
>> I'm going to rate I'm going to rate
through the cloud.
>> Yeah,
>> I'll rate through the cloud. Three, two,
one, 10. Six.
>> Six.
>> I don't really like it that much.
>> 10 with the cloud.
>> Without the cloud is too caramelly for
me.
>> Yeah.
>> With the cloud. I don't like cloud. I
don't like stuff on top. That's why if I
like stuff on top, it probably would
have been up there.
>> So, my ratings is I personally feel like
Starbucks has it beat. Again,
>> I think the Duncan donut is really good
>> is amazing. I think the Starbucks muffin
is amazing. I think the Starbucks has
some good drinks, but I'm not going to
lie, I think Duncan has my drink.
Really? You like the chill?
>> The chill is really nice with the milk
with the with the
>> the coffee frozen chill.
>> Mine's the
shake and espresso.
>> Oh, that's so good. I really like the
Starbucks one from there, though. See,
that's the hard part. There's so many
good things. So many bad things at the
same place. You got to try them all to
figure it out. But I hope we can help
you guys out if you do want one.
>> And it's just fun. It gives you in the
It gives you in the fall feel.

we're not in the fall because we are.
