Several social media users revealed that they woke up early to buy a Halloween Munchkins bucket from Dunkin’, but not everyone was excited about its price.
Dunkin’ ignited the fall-themed frenzy after releasing its Halloween buckets at select locations earlier this week, with one customer claiming that I woke up at 6:30 am buy one at Dunkin’.
Dunkin’ customers can purchase them from now until October 31, and while prices vary from store to store, several shoppers weren’t thrilled about spending up to $16.99 for the bucket, which also includes 50 munchkins.
Several X and TikTok users expressed their disbelief at the cost in various comment sections of posts about the fall-themed product, and more than one person claimed they were already sold out at their store in California.
“This is a good idea, but I don’t think I’d pay $15 for it,” one TikToker wrote in the comments section of an Oct. 12 article. video posted by a Dunkin’ employee.
Some Dunkin’ locations are currently selling buckets of Halloween Munchkins, which include a 50-count variety of munchkins.
Dunkin’ customers can purchase them from now until October 31, and while prices vary from store to store, several shoppers weren’t thrilled about spending up to $16.99 for the bucket.
Another TikToker commented: “I’d pay for these if they were just jelly-filled munchkins, otherwise it’s a no for that price.”
TikTok users questioned the high price of the Halloween Munchkin Bucket, but an apparent Dunkin’ employee explained why the price makes sense.
“Anyway, it’s 12.99 for a count of 50, so you’re really getting the bucket for 2 bucks,” he wrote.
However, several X and Reddit users said they were able to purchase the cube without the munchkins for $2, but many frustrated TikTokers claimed they were unable to purchase the cube on its own.
One TikToker wrote: ‘Tried to buy one today. They told me they were out of munchkins, so I said, cool, I’ll just take the bucket. Then they told me I couldn’t buy just the bucket??? Hey??’
Several TikTok and Reddit users insisted they wouldn’t buy the Halloween Munchkins Bucket because of the price.
Despite complaints about the price, several Dunkin’ customers believe it was worth purchasing a Munchkin cube.
‘At my location, 50 munchkins cost $13.99. With the bucket (which I bought), it was $15.99. It’s not bad at all. I like my coworkers enough to bring them munchkins,” one Reddit user wrote in a mail.
Another person called the article a ‘total home run,’ while and user tweeted‘Today I received one of Dunkin’s new boo buckets. It’s hard to go wrong with a bucket full of donut holes.
Several X users shared their enthusiasm for the cubes despite their shocking price.
The Dunkin’ Spider Specialty Donut, which originally had orange frosting, got a makeover this year. The donut is now covered in purple icing.
