You can now sip on canned "Gin and Juice" beverages from Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

You know, like their song from 1994.

They're ready-to-drink alcoholic cocktails and they come in four flavors: citrus, melon, passionfruit, and apricot.

They already started rolling out in stores.

Dre and Snoop have more stuff planned.  Last year they filed several trademarks, including one for "Vodka and Juice", so that can be a possibility too.

#Dunkin

Dunkin' is introducing the "DunKings Menu," a limited-time offering inspired by Ben Affleck's humorous attempt to showcase his musical talents in the chain’s Super Bowl ad.

This menu features Affleck's preferred iced coffee blend, which comes with cream, sweet cold foam, and cinnamon sugar, alongside a unique "DunKings Munchkin skewer" consisting of assorted donut holes (like a sweeter version of an olive in a martini).

The promotional campaign, which also involves celebrities Matt Damon and Tom Brady, draws on the trio’s Boston connection and the playful spirit of their on-screen boy-band performance to add a whimsical touch to Dunkin's offerings.
