[Dunkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-creaminspired-frozen-coffees)' teamed up with Backstreet Boys' A.J. McLean and *NSYNC's Joey Fatone to launch its first-ever EP, the Iced EP, exclusively on Spotify. The "[Iced Boys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awesome-iced-tea)" united for their first duet with Iced Like My Coffee, and referenced hits of the past with Don't Dunk Away at My Heart.

On the menu at Dunkin', there are new and returning items to savor this summer, including the Watermelon Burst Donut, the Chocolate Chunk Cookie and the Kiwi Watermelon Dunkin’ Refresher. The EP inspired by Dunkin's iced beverage lineup is not only a sonic delight since there's a visualizer for Iced Like My Coffee, the standout single, and fans can look forward to the release of a video featuring the Iced Boys premiering later in July.
