Dunkin’s Ben Affleck Super Bowl Merch Is Hot Now

Fans race to snag neon-orange and pink DunKings tracksuits after ad, sparking eBay bidding wars

By Suryatapa Bhattacharya and Victoria Albert

America may run on Dunkin’, but only sprinters got the coffee chain’s sold-out custom tracksuits.

The neon-orange and pink DunKings apparel worn by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Tom Brady in a now-viral Super Bowl commercial went on sale Monday and disappeared in minutes, the company said.

If the 47-year-old had gotten one, he said, he would’ve worn it to a friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner in March. “Hey, does this count as cocktail attire?” Messinger texted his soon-to-be married friend...
