Pink velvet lattes. Matcha lattes. Snackin’ Bacon.

Dunkin’ has been on an innovative spree lately, experimenting with new products that, yes, even include a bag of sugar- and pepper-dusted bacon strips.

Its latest offering: Free Donut Fridays, which launch March 6 and run through March 27. As part of its TGIFDF — Thank God It’s Free Donut Friday — campaign, Dunkin’ will offer members of the DD Perks Rewards Program a free doughnut with the purchase of any beverage. Anyone who isn’t part of the rewards program can sign up online or on the Dunkin’ app.

One free doughnut on a Friday might not be enough of a perk for some, so Dunkin’ is going a step further and offering a year’s worth of free doughnuts to four lucky winners who come up with a TGIFDF cheer and post it on Instagram.

The chain got some help from national cheerleading phenom Gabi Butler, who stars in the Netflix docuseries “Cheer.” On Wednesday, Butler kicked off Dunkin’s challenge with an Instagram video of her own.

A post from Instagram

Cheer videos or stories must use the hashtag #FDFSweepstakes and tag @Dunkin. The contest is currently running and will remain open until March 26, with one winner chosen each week; check out the complete list of rules here.

Long before Tropical Storm Irene flooded the superb Alchemist pub in Waterbury, it was one of the best après ski destinations in the Northeast, welcoming skiers and riders who had spent the day at nearby Stowe, Sugarbush, or Mad River Glen. What has happened since then is something of a beer miracle. Owners John and Jennifer Kimmich opened a small production brewery just I-89’s Exit 10, where they strictly brewed Heady Topper, their flagship double IPA. The beer has become a legend nationwide, and many have put it on a pedestal rivaling Russian River’s Pliny the Younger, a hard-to-find DIPA out west. Beer Advocate users recently ranked it the best beer in the world. In fact, you’re more apt to check a local retail outlet for Heady Topper than finding it at the small brewery, where they frequently sell out. There is a tasting station though, so you can begin to discover what all the hype is about. It is indeed warranted. - www.alchemistbeer.com

FILE - This Thursday, March 19, 2020 file photo shows bananas on the shelves of a supermarket in North Providence, R.I. On Friday, March 20, 2020, The Associated Press reported on a video circulating online incorrectly asserting that research by scientists at the University of Queensland in Australia has proven that bananas bolster the immune system due to the super source of vitamin B6 and helps prevent coronavirus. A spokesperson for the university told the AP in an email that the video is fake and said they strongly recommend people do not share it. While bananas are a good source of nutrients, including vitamin B6, fiber and potassium, there is no evidence that bananas can prevent or kill coronavirus. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
