In the late 2010s, the author visited Universal Studios Hollywood with family, excited about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They enjoyed various attractions but found the standout experience to be the butterbeer, which resonated with the author’s long-held desire after reading the Potter series. Despite the park’s prices, the butterbeer exceeded expectations, evoking joy comparable to the magic in the books. However, this enjoyment was challenged when the author later encountered Butterbeer Goldfish at a grocery store, exposing the commercialization of the beloved beverage in a new form.
"I loved beer, and I loved butter, so the second that I saw the word butterbeer in the books, I wanted one."
"Thanks to the wonders of IP exploitation, the amusement park had butterbeer carts stationed all around the Potter attractions."
"The real butterbeer tasted exactly like the one I'd imagined. That shit was delicious, so much so that I was like Hoo boy, good thing they don't sell any butterbeer stuff at the grocery store."
"I was at the grocery store on Sunday when I rolled past a special end-aisle display for Butterbeer Goldfish."
