Any of these could probably be labeled the “worst” orders possible.
But Dunkin’s regular menu has plenty of offenders choose from, too.
Dunkin'
The unhealthiest of the bunch: the large Caramel Creme Frozen Coffee.
And that’s not all.
Its added sugar piles in at a staggering 160 grams.
Dunkin'
On a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet, that’s just 50 grams.
In other words, the Caramel Creme Frozen Coffee supplies over three days' worth of added sugars.

The dangers of overdoing it on sugar-sweetened beverages like this one are clear.
Is it really worth these unpleasant outcomes?
A mere 60 calories are all you’ll take in from this chilly caffeinated drink.
The Vanilla Cream Cold Brew also shines for its minimal sugar content.
There’s just 1 gram of sugar in a whole small serving.
(That’s only 2% percent of the recommended 50-gram daily limit on a 2,000 calorie diet.)
You just might find the vanilla flavor is enough to satisfy your sweet craving.
It’s worth noting that there is a bit of fat in this drink (6 grams total).
Compared to the Caramel Creme Frozen Coffee’s 39 grams, though, it’s negligible.
On the other hand, the saturated fat here is a moderate drawback.
The small serving is slightly high at 3 grams (23% DV).
Rather than worry too much about this one downside, we say look at the big picture.
