It literally tastes like they melted apple jolly ranchers and watered it down.

I tried it with the lemonade and it tastes EXACTly like a green apple jolly rancher.

I was told they delayed the launch bc they had limited supplies?

I was told it was recalled and we dumped some of ours

We had throw away nearly our entire supply because of “bad batches”.

Interesting. I had one today that I LEGITIMATELY could not get down. It tasted that off. I even called the store to ask if they’ve heard anything about it being off Bc it tastes like it’s... wrong.

That’s what I heard also from one of my shifts.

It taste like powder but it's a liquid
CreepleCorn 7 points 3y ago
I have no idea how a liquid could make my mouth so dry.

Not all were recalled, only certain shipments/cases because they didn’t fit quality standards. It absolutely is still going to launch just a little delayed.

I love the kiwi 🥺 if you put strawberry purée and coconut milk in it it’s so good

it tasted like drinking perfume. hope it's actually palatable when it's "up to Starbucks Standards®️"

When I first made it for my partners to try, I shook it in the shaker and when I smelled it I straight up gagged. It smells JUST LIKE liquid amoxicillin! Like that white, milky ass medicine you keep in the fridge and take when you have strep or something. It’s SO BAD. When I saw the recall on IMS I was like THANK GOD 😂😭😭

The recall did NOT cut that smell/taste. I just tried it today and just about gagged when I first tried it. I had an intense flashback to when I had to take amoxicillin for an ear infection when I was 7 😭 It was even chalky. HOW IS A LIQUID MIX CHALKY ?!?
lovelyanxious 1 points 3y ago
Omg yes!! I’m so glad someone else thinks this tastes like amoxicillin too! I thought I was crazy 😂😂😭
MadreMonstere 1 points 2y ago
Just tried this for the first time and I instantly recognized the amoxicillin taste- had to Google if anyone else experienced this. Thank you for validating my terrible experience!

There is only one partner in my entire cafe store who somewhat likes. Everyone else said it was gross

Hate it with water but it’s pretty good with coconut milk and a little bit of peach!

I just ordered this and looked through calories up bc I'm tracking my calorie intake, and Holy crap I didn't expect to find this.
I tried it, and I guess the bad batches thing isn't a problem anymore. I'll finish it but it just tastes like someone liquefied a jolly rancher and put water in the rest of it.
