After the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle Jeans ad, social media is again abuzz after a new Dunkin' Donuts ad featured something related to "genetics".
The breakfast food franchise released a short spot for its new summer Refresher drinks on a few days ago featuring "The Summer I Turned Pretty" star Gavin Casalegno. During the 35-second ad, the actor credited his summer tan to his "genetics."
"Why are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden," one user commented on the ad on TikTok. The user seems unaware how genes play a big part in how you look, so of course, people are obsessed with it.
In the ad, Casalegno sat near a swimming pool holding his Dunkin' Golden Hour Refresher beverage while he referenced his pop culture status as the "king of summer" along with his tan.
"Look, I didn’t ask to be the king of summer. It just kind of happened," he said. "This tan? Genetics. I just got my color analysis back. Guess what? Golden Summer. Literally."
He sat down on a pool chair, adding, "I can’t help it. Every time I drink a Dunkin’ Golden Hour Refresher, it’s like the sun just finds me. So if sipping these refreshers makes me the King of Summer, guilty as charged."
TikTok users criticized the spot on the platform, taking issue with Casalegno mentioning his genetics.
One user asked, "Genuinely what does a drink have to do with genetics ???" Well, nothing, but we want to hear it.
"I’ll never have Dunkin’ Donuts again," one declared, while another said, "I guess Dunkin just joined the boycott list with Starbucks." Not a big loss really.
Many of the comments referred to the recent American Eagle ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney that caused controversy on social media and among traditional media outlets a few weeks ago with its "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" tagline.
