I anxiously waited on line at the nearest Starbucks because today was the day. Free Starbucks Refreshers – a new beverage in berry or lime flavors. I anticipated a refreshing beverage that reminded me of nice strolls on a boardwalk in the summertime….
The line moved swiftly. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic. Thoughts of the tasty drink danced in my head.
I was so excited when they handed me my very own FREE Tall Berry Refresher…..
and then I tasted it.
PLECH……
HORRID. What does it taste like? I can’t figure it out, but it just hangs in my mouth despite the three binaca sprays.
I’m sorry Starbucks. Maybe I’m not evolved enough to appreciate it. I honestly hope its just me and others love it. I wish you well with this product.
But, personally, all I can say is that I expected so much, and now I am disappointed with a strange aftertaste of soy sauce.
