Spice Girl secret revealed in coffee ad who won’t talk to others
When fall flavors hit, it’s time for a dose of autumnal cheer, and for Dunkin’, that means embracing the sweet, spiced season. But this year, the brand decided to blend cozy comfort with a dose of pop history in a hilarious new commercial featuring the Spice Girls, Ginger Spice and Baby Spice, alongside a brand-new, wonderfully eccentric addition.
The star of this cozy collaboration is Rachel Dratch, who steps into the spotlight as the fictional sixth member of the legendary Spice Girls, known to fans as Pumpkin Spice. Dressed in a puffy orange ensemble, Dratch shares her story while sipping on a pumpkin-flavored iced latte, giving viewers a delightful glimpse behind the curtain of pop stardom.
Dratch humorously explains her departure from the group, revealing that she left to focus on her passion for coffee. She reminisced about her time in the group, listing favorite songs like “Don’t Squash My Love,” “Walk Through My Pumpkin Patch,” and her favorite, “Bumpin’ Pumpkins.” She joked that she left the group to pursue a love for lattes, noting that she felt her time as Pumpkin Spice was just ahead of the curve.
Ginger and Baby Spice provided the perfect backdrop for this reunion, appearing in the ad seated for a mock documentary interview. They reflected on the absence of their other members, playfully referencing Victoria Beckham, Mel B, and Mel C, adding a wink to the history of the group.
The mood was lighthearted, celebrating the legacy of the Spice Girls—a quintet that redefined pop music in the nineties with iconic hits like “Wannabe.” Despite the absence of one member, the group’s impact was undeniable, demonstrating that even a perfectly orchestrated lineup can be filled with fun and unforgettable moments.
The commercial perfectly timed with Dunkin’s return of its seasonal lineup, including pumpkin spice, pie, and patch flavors, suggesting that Pumpkin Spice was indeed ahead of the curve. Other stars have recently joined the coffee chain, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ice Spice, further cementing Dunkin’s role as a platform for celebrating current pop culture.
Even the Spice Girls themselves embraced the autumn vibes. Emma Bunton shared her personal love for the seasonal flavors, noting that trying a pumpkin spice latte with family is why she loves it so much—it truly is “autumn in a cup!” Ginger Spice, meanwhile, enjoyed a more traditional British treat, enjoying a cup of tea and pastries while embracing the festive spirit.
