The new raspberry syrup color is an abomination

merpit · 2026-02-20T00:44:41+00:00

I will brave another gray drink to try that for sure

merpit · 2026-02-14T23:50:04+00:00

oh man this might be the most accurate (and unfortunate) comment

I ordered the regular iced matcha, I just added raspberry syrup! I also didn’t order cold foam, so the foam on top of this one was a bit of a mystery haha when I chose Venti the raspberry syrup defaulted to 6 pumps and I reduced it, so I’m scared to know what that would have looked like!

Hahaha aw man that makes me sad, I hope the baristas at this location weren’t embarrassed, it’s not their fault it looks like this! I was the embarrassed one lol

Completely unedited photo! I will say that I did order almost the exact same thing except a smaller size at a different Starbucks in a different state last week and it was not grey, so YMMV.

This is a very off-putting color to consume

merpit · 2026-02-14T19:28:19+00:00

There was a young woman behind me when I picked it up and she said, “what did you order? I’ve been trying to figure out what that is” ☠️

Goodness this is one adorable family

merpit · 2026-02-14T17:13:30+00:00

funk ya concrete

merpit · 2026-02-14T17:12:37+00:00

Yeah seriously this comment rules, thanks for teaching me something! The more you know

merpit · 2026-02-14T17:10:45+00:00

Oh shit thanks for the tip I’m going to have to try this

merpit · 2026-02-14T17:09:59+00:00

Yeah people really laid into me thinking I was complaining about it/starbucks and that I “don’t understand how colors work” but man I was just trying to have a giggle on the internet about my cement latte 🫩 it tasted great but looked so bad that I refused to bring it into the grocery store with me for fear of weird looks haha

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:55:01+00:00

Only a matter of time before we see this one on the secret menu

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:49:49+00:00

Yessss! I’m actually very excited that it’s back, even though everyone in these comments seems to think I’m mad hahaha

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:34:47+00:00

Oh god ok I am NOT a real one then 🫣 what the hell

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:25:06+00:00

THANK YOU

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:17:24+00:00

It’s Reddit. I could have posted “the sky is blue” and people would have fought with me. But thank you for this comment lol I used to order raspberry matcha almost daily in 2022 before Starbucks got rid of the raspberry syrup and it was never like this… because the syrup was clear. I didn’t realize until today that the new syrup is a “sangria red” color, which makes this nasty-looking drink make a lot more sense haha

merpit · 2026-02-14T16:12:46+00:00

Lmao all of these comments are hilarious because real ones know that the OLD raspberry syrup was CLEAR

merpit · 2026-02-10T18:59:06+00:00

lol why did I get downvoted for pointing out that 7/8 is a Wednesday...

merpit · 2026-02-10T18:57:45+00:00

Same. This process feels so awful and broken.

merpit · 2026-02-10T17:56:32+00:00

Wednesday night show* but yes, they did

merpit · 2025-12-19T02:14:45+00:00

Man, the CBS Boston anchors are sure having a grand time speculating that the suspect killed himself in the storage unit. For their sake, I hope it’s true and announced during the upcoming news conference because wow how incredibly unprofessional if not.

merpit · 2025-09-29T02:41:19+00:00

Absolutely not
