When Dunkin’ Donuts says, “America runs on Dunkin,'” they mean everyone.
A wild raccoon has given Ben Affleck some competition as the coffee chain’s biggest fan after a woman captured a Madison Avenue-worthy video of the animal politely wandering up to a drive-thru window for a little treat.
The now-viral TikTok was shared by Florida resident Samantha Guptil, who was in line in her car at Dunkin’ Donuts in Orange City when the animal wandered across the road and up to the drive-thru window — as if his order had been called and he was collecting it.
“What in the world? My dude. He wants some Dunkin’ Donuts,” Guptil says in the video, which has been viewed 21.3 million times since it was posted on May 5.
Guptil and her unidentified passenger giggled as they watched the raccoon approach the takeout window. They pulled the car forward to get a closer look, carefully making sure not to hit the furry patron.
“What is he doing? Are they gonna give him a doughnut?” Guptil continues to narrate the video, while one of the workers moves toward the window where the raccoon was waiting patiently.
“Oh, they’re gonna give him a doughnut? Oh, my God! Do it,” she continued in delight. “Throw him the doughnut.”
In a pleasant, dignified exchange, the employee leans out of the window and hands the raccoon a frosted doughnut. The animal extends its arms and accepts the sweet treat carefully with its front paws and scurries off into the nearby bush, snack secured.
“Oh, my God,” Guptil laughs in disbelief.
She also shared the clip on Facebook, writing, “Glad everyone appreciated it as much as I did.”
Some users thought the raccoon absolutely has star quality, and many urged in comments to Dunkin’ that they consider including the video in their next advertisement.
“This is a good commercial,” one person wrote, with another saying they “went to Dunkin'” after seeing the TikTok.
“I was expecting a toss, but seeing him reach up for our was so much better. This obviously isn’t his first time,” one TikToker laughed.
The Post has reached out to Dunkin’ and Guptil for comment.
