Dunkin's Mini Monsters Might Be Labubu's Emirati Cousins
Some mornings need caffeine. Others also need caffeine, but paired with a glazed, sprinkle-covered creature staring back at you from a box like it's planning something. Jun 28, 2025 Some mornings need caffeine. Others also need caffeine, but paired with a glazed, sprinkle-covered creature staring back at you from a box like it's planning something. Bear with me… Dunkin's new Mini Monsters—a trio of bite-sized donut characters named Pinkaboo, Bruppi, and Blublu—have landed across UAE branches, and there's a decent chance they're already halfway to becoming collectibles. Think tiny donuts, big eyes, questionable motives. If Labubu had cousins who ditched the forest and moved to the Emirates to open a donut startup, this would be them. Each one comes with its own vibe: Pinkaboo is cheerful and slightly suspicious, Bruppi looks like he's been up since 4AM with bad intentions, and Blublu is sweet in a quiet, existential way. Together they form a crew of sugar-forward misfits that somehow make sense in the world of iced lattes and limited edition drops. Priced at AED 45, you can meet them in-store or order them in a surprise blind box of six via delivery. It's low-stakes chaos in a box—perfect for desk-sharing, mood-lifting, or justifying that second cup of coffee. Are they dessert? A dopamine snack? A subtle sign you've emotionally bonded with a donut? All possibilities are valid. Either way, they're here. They're glazed. And they've got names.
