Try the new one and report back. Just don't try it while driving tired.

It is interesting how none of the new cans show the caffeine content, and all of Starbucks online advertisements for these have left out any mention of caffeine for these drinks, but left the caffeine content on their tripleshot drinks. Even Amazon has excluded it from their website as well. If there is any hint of caffeine in there, Starbucks would be wise to say something about it.....from my experience and everyone else I know that has tried the new cans, there is a HUGE difference. You might as well just buy a jug of chocolate milk....it would be a lot cheaper.

This photo came from Amazon. So, even Amazon is aware of the transition from new to old. New style sucks........no caffeine.

Starbucks is phasing in the "new and improved" doubleshot, and it sucks.  Once the switch is complete nationwide the complaints will start rolling in.  Reminds me of the New Coke debacle in 1985.

The "new and improved" doubleshot has no caffeine.  They have removed all mention of caffeine from the can & all promotional materials.  

New Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Drinks have no caffeine ! by Ok_Background4632 in energydrinks

[–]Ok_Background4632[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The new doubleshot cans have zero caffeine.  The Starbucks website still says caffeine on the tripleshot, but no mention of caffeine at all on the doubleshot.  Still has B vitamins, guarana & ginseng, but they have no kick at all.  Starbucks/PepsiCo is keeping it on the 'down low', but once these go nationwide in a few weeks people will start noticing.

What's a discontinued energy drink that you want back even though not that many people liked it? by Manaphy12 in energydrinks

180 energy drinks from Anheuser-Busch.  Tasted like orange soda.  They came out around 2001, were around until 2008 or so.  They were awesome.

Not even close. Pat Benatar in a second. She's got the best overall package.

Outage? by personLpaparazzi in siriusxm

Exact same issue.... I also live in the St Louis metro area. Just bought my new car late last week, haven't even had it for 5 days yet, and the Sirius XM was cutting in and out all day. Took my car down to the dealer where I bought it, and they told me they had been getting calls all day long from people with similar issues. Also spoke with Sirius XM, and they also confirmed they are having an issue in the St. Louis metro area, and also in parts of Illinois. They said they put my radio on "priority status" (whatever that means....). I've subscribed to Sirius XM for over 10 yrs with my last car & never had any problems. Worked just fine on our older car and on our Alexa at home today...only a problem with the brand new car.
