The meme cycle moves fast, but Bennifer moves faster—a skill we would imagine comes with the territory when you can’t even buy 4 measly Dunkin’ iced coffees and a whole box of munchkins without the internet eating it up.
The latest and greatest Ben Affleck face came from Sunday’s Grammy Awards broadcast, during which the actor and Dunkin’ spokesman’s obvious disinterest went almost immediately viral. Armchair psychiatrists put forth their diagnoses. Lip readers took a stab at sussing out the seemingly tense conversation between Affleck and JLo. But thanks to a little good old-fashioned on-the-ground reporting, we finally have the real story. And it’s… not really as much of a doozy as people may have hoped.
