Iced Coffee Is Official Pick-Me-Up Beverage of the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding

Dunkin' Donuts, the number one
retailer of coffee-by-the-cup in America, today announced its partnership with
the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA). Through this partnership,
Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee will be recognized as the official pick-me-up
beverage of the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding. Dunkin' Donuts will
support the team and help promote skiing and snowboarding this winter with the
Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee Program. World champion snowboarder Lindsey
Jacobellis will be the spokesperson for the program that will launch in
January 2006.

"Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee provides a great pick-me-up any time of day,
any time of year," said John Gilbert, Dunkin' Donuts, Vice President of
Marketing for Dunkin' Donuts. "This partnership reinforces our product's
benefit. Snowboarding and skiing are demanding sports where athletes can
benefit from the quick pick-me-up that Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee provides.
Athletes like Lindsey love our iced coffee and drink it throughout the year.
We know that a large percentage of our customers living in the Northeast love
to ski and snowboard. So it seemed logical to partner with the U.S. Ski Team,
U.S. Snowboarding and Lindsey Jacobellis."

"USSA is thrilled to be working with Dunkin' Donuts and five of the
leading resorts in the northeast on a great promotion. Many of our athletes
grew-up in the Northeast and Dunkin' Donuts was a big part of their lives.
It's great to have them supporting these same athletes as they try to be Best
In the World this February in Torino," Ted Morris, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing.

Lindsey Jacobellis was born in Roxbury, CT, and grew up in Stratton, VT,
where she began snowboarding in 1996 when her older brother instilled in her
the love of the sport. She quickly excelled and was soon entering different
competitive events. Lindsey was just 16 when she was won the 2001 U.S. Open
snowboard cross event. By the time she graduated from high school in 2003
Lindsey had been competing professionally for more than two years. Today,
Lindsey is a Chevrolet U.S. Snowboard Grand Prix champion, a three-time X
Games gold medalist and the winner of seven World Cup events.

"One of the reasons I fell in love with the sport of snowboarding was that
my family had access to a great mountain like Stratton," said Jacobellis. "The
Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee Program is giving people a great opportunity to ski
and ride at some of the best resorts in the East at a discounted price. A
future world champion could be a few Iced Coffees away from finding their true
love."

Between January 1-31, 2006, customers who buy three Dunkin' Donuts Iced
Coffees (any size) will receive $10 off a full-day lift ticket at any of the
following ski resorts: Hunter Mountain (NY), Stratton (VT), Wachusett (MA),
Waterville Valley (NH) and Saddleback (ME). The $10 discount offered through
the Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee Program will be honored at the participating
resorts throughout the month of January by presenting receipts from their iced
coffee purchases. For more information visit http://www.dunkindonuts.com.

"Providing value to our customers is important to us as a brand," said
Gilbert. "Our Iced Coffee Program is an innovative way to provide this offer
to value conscious consumers -- giving them the opportunity to have a great
product for a great price and enjoy additional savings with some of the best
resorts in the Northeast."

Millions of iced coffee lovers turn to Dunkin' Donuts because they
recognize the quality of its iced coffee -- made with the same high quality
Arabica beans used to make its hot coffee -- stands apart from the
competition. The secret is in the care Dunkin' Donuts takes in making the
beverage. The full-bodied flavor of Dunkin' Donuts' iced coffee is achieved
during the double-brewing process -- or using twice the amount of fresh ground
coffee -- and then adding ice until the mixture doubles in volume. The result
is a smooth, rich taste sensation -- iced coffee that is never bitter or
watered down.
