Samantha Jane Guptil pulled into her local Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru expecting a routine coffee run—until she realized she wasn’t the only one craving something sweet.
In a short TikTok clip, Guptil captures a friendly raccoon casually strolling up and cutting in front of her in the drive-thru line, seemingly ready to place an order of his own.
Yes, really.
“What in the world? My dude. He wants some Dunkin’ Donuts,” Guptil says in the video, watching in amazement as the raccoon confidently approaches the takeout window.
Without hesitation, the drive-thru worker hands over a white-frosted doughnut, and the little bandit scurries off, treat in hand. Guptil, unable to contain her excitement, squeals with delight.
The Internet Is Obsessed
Guptil wasn’t the only one charmed by the unexpected customer. Her video quickly went viral, racking up over 21 million views and 4 million likes.
Viewers were convinced this wasn’t the raccoon’s first Dunkin’ run.

“There’s no way this isn’t a daily thing for the raccoon and the workers lol that was far too casual,” one commenter wrote.
“That’s his spot. He knows he’s getting one,” added another.
Even Guptil noted, “He must be a regular.”
Some joked that the raccoon was Dunkin’s newest brand ambassador.
“If they had a ‘buy the raccoon's daily doughnut’ option, I would 100% do that,” one person quipped.
“Dunkin' has to use this for a commercial!” another insisted.
Raccoons often get a bad rap as mischievous, trash-digging troublemakers, but maybe they’re just like the rest of us—doing their best to get through the day, one sugary treat at a time.
