In a Super Bowl ad teased earlier this week, Affleck returns to his New England roots after his sad performance at the Grammys by working the drive-thru window at Dunkin’ Donuts in the Boston suburbs. “How can it be so cheap and good?” he asks over the intercom – a bit difficult to sell as the customer is already waiting for the coffee.
