"You can always count on Starbucks to produce a drink that gets people talking. Often, this is for positive reasons. The coffee giant has had many bestsellers in its nearly 55 year history. The Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, for example, seems to be universally liked, and there are even entire Reddit threads devoted to how much people enjoy it. The Iced Caramel Macchiato is another drink that frequently gets rave reviews, and of course, we have to mention the iconic and incredibly popular"
"In 2021, Starbucks added a brand new summer beverage to the lineup: The Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino. The drink was incredibly sweet, thanks to the mix of strawberry purée, a funnel cake-flavored syrup, and real pieces of funnel cake, and was supposed to give that nostalgic feeling of being out and about with friends, soaking up the sun, in an amusement park."
Starbucks has produced many bestselling beverages over nearly 55 years, including the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, the Iced Caramel Macchiato, and the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte. Several limited-time releases provoked customer backlash for flavor and sweetness. Reddit users singled out overly saccharine Frappuccinos and unusual combinations such as Cold Brew with Lemonade. The Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino, introduced in summer 2021, combined strawberry purée, funnel cake-flavored syrup, and real funnel cake pieces, and many customers described it as excessively sweet, greasy, chemically aftertasting, or reminiscent of bug spray. Some staff reported not recommending the drink.
