Raccoon Walks Himself Through Dunkin' Donuts Drive Thru For A Snack

They say, "America runs on Dunkin'" and it seems a wild racoon heard the memo and decided to get in on the fun.

The raccoon was filmed walking up to a Dunkin' Donuts drive thru and actually getting a bite to eat before carrying on his way!

Florida resident Samantha Guptil (@samguptuppy) shared a video of the raccoon on TikTok with the caption, "#Raccoon at #Dunkin proves that EVERYONE RUNS ON DUNKIN."

"What in the world? My dude. He wants some Dunkin' Donuts," Samantha says in the video. While she's talking, you can see the raccoon scurry from the bushes to the drive thru window.

The little critter doesn't seem bothered by the approaching car that's next in line. He simply stands on his hindlegs and waits for a handout. Thankfully, the cashier was more than happy to obligue and handed the raccoon what appears to be a half of a bagel.

"Dude should know you can't walk up to the drive thru," Samantha joked in the text overlay.

Since being posted in early May, the video quickly went viral and racked up over 21 million views.

"Imagine your first day and they say 'so there’s this raccoon…," one person joked in the comments. "I need to hear from the Dunkin workers and also the raccoon. I need all sides to how this started because I'm obsessed," another person added.
