i had to do a double take when i pulled these out. i’m wondering if this is just how they’re gonna be now or if it’s a quality control issue.. has anyone else seen this?
Responsible_Snow7109 76 points 10m ago
Yepp! I think a ton of people have cuz I've seen a handful of posts on here about this issue. I live in PA and same with ours...the colors are always changing for the birthday cake pops

we’ve been dealing with this kinda stuff for months, but quality control has seriously gone out the window. it was even this bad during the height of covid, at least in texas 😵‍💫😵‍💫
Responsible_Snow7109 14 points 10m ago
Yea i think in my area, in my opinion, quality control wasnt this bad lol idk what is causing there to be soo many issues nowadays. Im really curious. Lol ive been saving all the quality control issue pictures from here and then im guna eventually collect a bunch and send it into corporate or somewhere so they can hopefully change their act. Like someone said the other day, they expect us baristas to make exceptional beautiful drinks to the perfect standard but yet we get sooo many quality control issues from them. Theyre not fixing these issues or making moves to assure this doesnt happen so how can they demand perfect quality from us with drinks? Like i make em as best i can and to standard in busy rushes but they do this shit? Lol 😐

Same here in jersey

I wonder how far around the country it goes lol like i wonder if its a clustered area getting these discolored cake pops or if its just all around. Either way, its just unbelievable at how many quality control issues are happening with starbucks products nowadays

Same, I'd love to know if other states are having this issue. Not cake pop realated but we have been getting grilled cheeses without cheese. Just two slices of buttered bread.

I live in AZ, yesterday we had a mix of the darker ones and the lighter ones. I definitely think it’s a quality control thing, the darker one also felt weirdly heavier.

I wonder if its everywhere too, considering ours sometimes come dark but right now theyve been dark for weeks. The color makes me feel like im ingesting pink sauce.
tigerhotel [OP] 18 points 10m ago
i said the exact same thing!!! it looks like that damn pink sauce!!!
Sohotomi 21 points 10m ago
I keep seeing these posts on here but all of ours are still light pink 😭 I wonder when it will hit us (MN corporate store)
DragonslayerKal 13 points 10m ago
Im pretty sure its like this cause it was mixed with a batch of a different kind of cake pop and came put darker. My SL said it was mixed with a purple one thats coming out soon.

Today I had a mixed tray of pinks when I did my pull. One case was distinctly Pepto pink and the other more baby pink.
jennhogue15 2 points 10m ago
one of the girls i work with said they look radioactive now and i think that’s a pretty good description

I live in MA & a couple weeks ago these popped up like this. i was confused. im guessing they just made the batches with more pink this time. probably just a mistake
nathanwp07 2 points 10m ago
Seeing those reminds me of when I went to Costco for the first time as a Sam's Club person. It was close but not quite like I was in a parallel universe haha

Super-Mycologist-781 2 points 10m ago
My store had the same thing not only darker they tasted a little off my dm said to not sell them so I suppose it was a bad batch
IAMACHRISTMASWIZARD 2 points 10m ago
we’ve occasionally had the opposite issue for the last few months, sometimes we receive super pastel birthday pops lol
