No offense but why did Starbucks get rid of all the good refeshers? Cool lime, Valencia orange and Very Berry where all so good, like the og ones where uncomparable, now we just get kiwi starfruit and pineapple passion fruit 🤮

You have kiwi star fruit? That shit was discontinued months ago.

No lol, it’s been gone forever. I just was saying the more recent flavors they’ve released are gross

I think my store stopped ordered it like 4 months before it was even officially discontinued lol, no one EVER ordered it.

I really liked cool lime, but very berry is my favorite refresher Starbucks has had! I was sad when it was discontinued
Marinseya2 points1y ago
I was also so sad!! I miss violet drinks so much 😔
starbucksbarist28 [OP]2 points1y ago
Omg same!!! Violet drink was probably my most ordered drink when we had the very berry still!

Kiwi star fruit was disgusting. I liked berry best, strawberry close second but only when it’s mostly passion tango because it’s too sweet.

Mostly supply/demand. Most of these where switched to or introduced and rotated into over seas markets. Rotation also allows marketing to introduce and try new items on the menu to continue to have an inflated "launch interest" anytime something new is introduced. It is a proven marketing tactic. Sadly most of these refreshers may never see the light of the USA markets again since most of these started to fall off drastically after a year or two in sales....(except for valencia) also mostly the components are more expensive and hard to source, anything citrus or thi gs like black berries are harder to source outside of seasonal growing patterns. Very berry tho I believe had the defective batch and they just decided to knock it off the us market for the sake of the planned summer launch any how lol so we may see it return again in the future since it's still in rotation in other SB global markets.
