A Dunkin’ customer has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a cost-effective hack for ordering iced milk tea instead of a pricier chai latte. The video by user @thotropica has garnered over 6,400 likes, showcasing her experiment to obtain a milk tea at Dunkin’ by creatively using her rewards points.
In the video, @thotropica confesses to never having tried ordering a milk tea from Dunkin’ but expresses optimism fueled by the prospect of using her rewards points for a free iced tea. She plans to make it similar to a chai latte by adding churro syrup.
Upon arriving at Dunkin’, she confidently places her order at the drive-thru, asking for a small iced black tea with two pumps of churro syrup and almond milk to achieve a milky consistency like a chai. Surprisingly, the barista takes the order in stride without any hesitation.
When @thotropica receives her drink, she realizes she got a medium instead of a small, speculating it might be for better proportions. Regardless, she rejoices in getting it for free with her rewards points.
Tasting the iced milk tea, @thotropica is pleasantly surprised and describes it as refreshing, praising the successful accomplishment of the hack with her followers.
The hack saves money compared to the cost of a small Iced Chai Latte, with @thotropica’s concoction priced at $3.24 versus $5.08 for the chai latte, according to information from a Dunkin’ location in Austin, Texas.
Viewers in the comments applauded the creative approach, with one likening it to boba tea without the boba. A barista chimed in, assuring that there’s little that surprises them, and customers should feel free to order what they like.
The video has gained attention for its innovative cost-saving idea and has resonated with viewers seeking alternative and budget-friendly beverage options at Dunkin’.
