Dunkin' Donuts is looking ahead to the 2018 summer season and is currently asking fans to vote on iced coffee flavors.
The chain is running a contest to determine which new flavored iced coffee—inspired by Baskin Robbins' ice cream—will make it to the menu. Some of the flavors that are in the running include classic ice cream flavors like Pistachio, Rocky Road and Jamoca Almond Fudge, as well as Cookie Dough.
As well as being able to cast their vote online by interacting with the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts shared by Dunkin' Donuts on social media, fans will be able to make their opinion known via a special in-store vote only on August 25th using a flavor-specific Snapchat geofilter.
