In September, the artist starred in a Dunkin' commercial with Affleck to unveil her new drink with the donut chain.
In the commercial, which premiered during the MTV Video Music Awards, Affleck begins by explaining, “They made me brand ambassador.”
Then, the commercial cuts to Affleck and Ice Spice sitting across from one another in an office.
“We’ve got to come up with a drink name, but it’s not easy, right?” Affleck says to the musician before asking, “How are people going to connect you with Dunkin’?”

“I’m a Dunkin’ girl,” Ice Spice responds. “Ice Spice? My fans are the ‘Munchkins,’” she continues, trying to thread the needle for Affleck.
“Where are you going with this,” a confused Affleck asks before the rapper simply replies, “Ice Spice Munchkins drink.”
The Ice Spice Munchkins Drink blends together the chain’s frozen coffee with a few pumpkin Munchkins. The drink is then topped with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. The blended Munchkins give the drink a cookies and cream like texture, according to a release.
The ad was produced by Affleck's company Artists Equity.
