Sweeney’s signature scoop included rainbow sorbet in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone with rainbow sprinkles and gummy bear minis. She additionally had a signature drink on the menu — sorbet with lemon lime soda topped with gummy bears.
Fans were quick to respond to her resurfaced commercial for the ice cream company.
“I love Sydney Sweeney and her good genes and I love Baskin-Robbins ice cream. You’re the best Sydney,” one comment on X said.
“Love me some Baskin-Robbins! I will wear my new AE jeans when I purchase my Sydney Sweeney sweets,” another comment said.

One X user added, “Let’s see who’s gonna get triggered by Sydney Sweeney’s new Baskin-Robbins ad.”
Baskin-Robbins released its collaboration with Sweeney in June.
Sweeney’s ice cream ad resurfaced after “The White Lotus” star broke the internet last month with an American Eagle Jeans ad.
American Eagle defended Sweeney’s ad, releasing a statement on social media that said, “’Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.” (American Eagle Instagram)
The commercial sparked backlash after she spoke about genes being “passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.”
“My jeans are blue,” she added as the camera closed in on her eyes.
The backlash to Sweeney’s campaign faced the brute force of social media, some suggesting it had shades of “eugenics” and “White supremacy.”
However, others, including President Donald Trump, have come to the ad’s defense.

Reps for the Sweeneys and Baskin-Robbins did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
In a recent development, researchers have discovered a new species of butterfly in the Amazon rainforest. The butterfly, named Morpho amathonte, features stunning iridescent blue wings that set it apart from other species in the region. This discovery highlights the incredible biodiversity of the Amazon, which continues to surprise scientists with new findings.
The researchers, led by Dr. Maria Rodriguez, stumbled upon the new butterfly species during a routine expedition in the rainforest. They were immediately struck by the vibrant blue color of the butterfly’s wings, which shimmered in the sunlight. Further analysis confirmed that this was indeed a new species, previously unknown to science.
According to Dr. Rodriguez, the discovery of Morpho amathonte is significant not only for expanding our knowledge of butterfly species in the Amazon but also for raising awareness about the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem. The Amazon rainforest is home to countless plant and animal species, many of which have yet to be discovered. By protecting these habitats, we can ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy the wonders of the natural world.
This discovery serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts in the Amazon and other threatened ecosystems around the world. As human activities continue to encroach on natural habitats, it is crucial that we take steps to protect and preserve these areas for future generations. With continued research and conservation efforts, we can ensure that species like Morpho amathonte will continue to thrive in the wild for years to come.
