"As we commemorate 60 years, we honor our unique heritage, commitment to menu innovation and our promise to keep Americans running any time of day. The new Bagel Twist is an exciting example of what makes our brand special, as we have taken our famous traditional bagel and created a new and innovative way to enjoy it that fits perfectly with our guests' on-the-go lifestyles," he said.

The company also is promoting its Mocha Iced Coffee, featuring the brand's signature, freshly-brewed iced coffee with rich mocha flavoring. Dunkin' Donuts has been at the forefront in developing an innovative process for brewing iced coffee, which has set the standard for the industry. The unique process, called double brewing, uses twice the amount of coffee when making the beverage to achieve consistent flavor and freshness that are never compromised at the expense of serving it cold.
