Dunkin unveils Sabrina Carpenter strawberry dream refresher as fan-favorite drink for summer 2025
Dunkin' has officially rolled out its highly anticipated 2025 summer menu, and one standout item is already generating major buzz. While the full lineup includes new savory options like the Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap, all eyes are on Sabrina's Strawberry Dream Refresher—a fruity, creamy drink that's already a fan favorite. This seasonal refresher blends strawberry flavor with oatmilk and is topped with velvety cold foam, offering a vibrant yet smooth beverage perfect for summer. Described by Delish reporter Danielle Harling as 'quite literally a dream,' the drink has been a hit on social media since its announcement. This isn't Sabrina Carpenter's first Dunkin' collaboration—her previous drink, the Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso, featured bold espresso, brown sugar notes, and oatmilk, and it was widely praised. Now, her latest creation seems poised to top it. Online buzz has only grown since the menu drop. Fan reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, especially under a post shared by Instagram food influencer @markie_devo. 'Omg the strawberry dream looks GOOD,' one user commented. Another added, 'Finally! We are getting new coffee flavors for the summer! And the strawberry dream refresher sounds interesting.' With summer heating up, Dunkin' and Sabrina may have just delivered the season's coolest collaboration yet. Whether you're a dedicated Dunkin' fan or just looking for a refreshing new sip, this one's shaping up to be the drink of the summer.

This is how long you should keep your reusable water bottle for
Do you know exactly when to get rid of your reusable water bottle? No, they won't stay perfect forever. It seems like everyone you encounter has a form of reusable drinkware these days, whether it be a Chilly's bottle, a Hydro Flask, or a Stanley cup – some own more than one. In fact, in 2015, just 20% of people in the UK owned a reusable water bottle, with figures from Refill estimated to have risen to 60% in 2023. Basically, it's a booming business, with the European refillable bottle market estimated to rise 40% on £1.5billion by 2028. So, while reusable bottles aren't disappearing anytime soon, it's important to know how to take care of them if you have one, especially when your health – and life – is at risk. A Taiwanese man ended up with lead poisoning from using a metal bottle for too long. Ultimately, he developed pneumonia, a serious lung condition, and later died. As reported by local media, the unnamed individual had been enduring health problems for a year before blood tests confirmed the lead poisoning. The high levels of toxins in his blood prompted an investigation, with medics informed that he had used the same thermos every day for 10 years. Upon inspecting it, they saw the lining beginning to corrode, plus signs of rust, perhaps caused by the acidic fizzy drinks he often put inside it. While it's unknown exactly when the bottle's wear and tear might have started to affect him, it's believed that, by the time he sought help, it was already too late. As such, experts are issuing warnings to those with reusable bottles to prevent tragedy. Metal water bottles are the most common, which is great because they are durable, hygienic, and reduce plastic waste. They also have a long lifespan with no hard expiration date. However, if you start to notice cracks, dents, or scratches, particularly in or around the seal, it's probably time to replace it. It is estimated that a stainless steel bottle can last up to 12 years, thanks to its sturdiness and ability to withstand direct sunlight. These warnings include ensuring that your drinking bottles are made of high-quality, food-grade materials, such as 304 stainless steel. It is also not advised to store acidic or carbonated beverages in them, including fizzy drinks and fruit juice. It starts to smell It becomes cracked, dented, or scratched In or around the lid or seal is damaged or discoloured in any way Janilyn Hutchings, a certified professional in food safety at StateFoodSafety, explained to Delish last year: 'This might seem obvious, but reusable water bottles don't last forever. Over time, water, and especially more acidic drinks like lemonade, slowly break down the material your bottle is made of.' She added: 'If you are cleaning or sanitising your water bottle using methods that are not approved for that material or water bottle that you're working with, that means that you can accidentally be doing damage to the structural integrity of that bottle.' So, while a bottle can last for several years if properly cared for, experts suggest discarding it after two to three years if you use it constantly. In the meantime, you must clean your bottles regularly – and here's how. Simply rinsing your bottle with cold water after use isn't enough to eradicate the build-up of bacteria, which then comes back into contact with your mouth. It's recommended to clean your reusable bottle with hot water (over 60 degrees Celsius) and swirl washing up liquid around it. Leave the bottle for 10 minutes to soak before rinsing thoroughly with hot water again. This is your best chance of killing off all pathogens. More Trending Since bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, you should allow your bottle to air dry completely before using it. Finally, wash your hands before touching your squeaky clean bottle again. Repeat this cleaning process at most after each use. At the very least, do it a few times per week, especially if you're using the bottle daily.

Check Your Fridge, Costco Fans: a Popular Water Brand Got Recalled for Specific Reason
Costco shoppers beware! The warehouse chain has recently issued a recall on a popular Coca-Cola product, Topo Chico Mineral Water (one of Delish's top-ranked seltzers). The recall is due to possible contamination with Pseudomonas, a bacteria that naturally occurs in water sources and soil. While the chain noted that the health consequences of consuming the contaminated water by healthy individuals are low, those with weakened immune systems could experience "potential minor health consequences." Luckily, the recall doesn't seem to be widespread—shoppers at Costco's Texas and Louisiana warehouses are the only ones who need to check their fridges and pantries. The affected products include Topo Chico Mineral Water in 16.9-ounce bottles (or 500mL) in an 18-pack size with lot code #13A2541. The contaminated waters were sold between May 20, 2025, and May 29, 2025. Costco suggests that customers who purchased any of the affected products return them to their local Costco for a full refund. Anyone with questions can call Coca-Cola at 1-800-GET-COKE. Unfortunately, this isn't the only Coca-Cola product to be recalled this year. Just a couple of months ago, the soda itself was recalled for containing plastic—yikes. Of course, hydration is an important staple in everyday life, but in this case, let's not risk it and return those bottles ASAP.

'Wait Wait Wait'—Customers Beg Haribo Not To Toss Gummies Recalled For Cannabis Contamination
Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies were recalled in the Netherlands earlier this week over cannabis contamination. Authorities tested the gummies after people reported feeling sickness and dizzy, and company immediately recalled and pulled the affected products from store shelves. Although the brand is taking this recall seriously, people here in the States don't seem to be too concerned about this particular health concern. "Hear me out, I would 100% pay more for those…" commented one person on Delish's Instagram post. "You say contaminated. I say blessed," commented another. "In other news, Haribo reports record earnings this quarter," joked one person. "What is the serial number so I can assist in the investigation," one person asked. "I was wondering why I can't just eat one lol," another joked. Comments on Facebook were equally amusing: "It is like getting the Wonka Golden Ticket!!!" exclaimed one fan. "Runs to store to buy the whole stock," wrote another. "Thanks for letting us know!! Edibles for a dollar or two!" one person exclaimed. "Best marketing campaign ever," one person summed up perfectly, even though the recall is, in fact, real. Luckily for the brand, people seem to be taking the news of the recall in stride, and some might even say, giving Haribo unusually *high* praise. Looks like there's a market for a whole new demographic of customers... Your move, Haribo. You Might Also Like Insanely Easy Weeknight Dinners To Try This Week 29 Insanely Delicious Vodka Cocktails
