I miss it. It was thicker and harder to pump, for sure. That and the toasted white mocha pump gave me literal tendinitis that I had to go get physical therapy for bc I was on dt and cafe bar every morning in a high volume store. However (the old formula) tasted so much better! This past year’s formula, although easier to pump, tasted like a cheap chemically altered knockoff. Anyone else agree?? Or am I imagining.

i think all the holiday sauces this year were super watered down and chemically tasting. i almost threw up drinking a toasted white mocha because of how bad it was. especially those sprinkles- you’d think they would be able to come up with sprinkles that better pair a hot drink like that. not to mention the pumpkin …. also yes the caramel brûlée was super underwhelming and the most watered down of them all.

Okay so I’m not crazy! Glad someone else is noticing. They really thought they could fool us 😂

Every time I THINK I want to make a drink for myself w Sugar Cookie, I try it and it tastes so artificial. I forget how bad it is and then I try it again a week later thinking a different syrup combo will work😅😅

Yes the brûlée did change. More liquidy n taste weird

A lot of the syrups and sauces lately have been tasting artificial and/or bad. I feel like Starbucks has been focusing on the scents rather than the flavor. Multiple flavors have been likened to Bath and Body Works and a lot of them haven’t worked out imo.

I agree. I was super excited for caramel brûlée to come back bc it was my favorite, but it was so underwhelming.

I wish the toppings would go there’s so many and it takes a whole extra step. Plus who wants chunky bits in their drink anyway?

The caramel brûlée smelled like paint thinner and I refused to try it.
