Even if you haven't tried Starbucks' 🍓 "Pink Drink," you've probably heard about it~

It's a "secret special drink" launched by Starbucks in the United States, and also one of the most popular beverages at North American Starbucks locations during spring and summer. However! As of now, it hasn't been sold in domestic stores yet~

Recently, Starbucks North America launched a "bottled ready-to-drink version" of this globally popular internet-famous beverage, which is now available in many offline supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations across the United States, as well as online stores like Amazon and Target. As a dairy-free beverage from Starbucks, Pink Drink has been deeply loved by fans for many years. It can be said to be a drink that combines both visual appeal and delicious taste.

The news of this bottled version has not only attracted the attention of many Pink Drink fans on foreign social media platforms, but netizens on domestic social platforms have also become restless, with heated discussions about Pink Drink underway.

They are all calling out to Starbucks: When will you bring Pink Drink to domestic stores!!!

And this pink, popular bottled item is truly explosive - it was "snatched up" within just a few days of its launch. Many, many netizens have posted that this bottled version of Pink Drink is out of stock everywhere, and they simply can't buy it!

And it's not just that offline shelves are empty; even on various e-commerce platforms online, netizens are also expressing that it's out of stock! Can't grab it, can't grab it!

There's also a blogger who initiated a poll on social media asking "whether you've bought the bottled Pink Drink," and the results showed that 78% of netizens said they haven't bought it~

The Rise of Pink Drink

Speaking of the origin of this internet-famous beverage, it can be traced back to 2016. Initially, Pink Drink was just a "customized product" tried by Starbucks fans, and later it was shared on social media platforms as a hidden menu item. Unexpectedly, after that, the calls for Pink Drink continued to rise, attracting many users eager to try it, and its rapidly growing popularity also caught the attention of Starbucks officials.

In May 2017, Starbucks announced that Pink Drink would be added to the official Starbucks menu in the United States, truly completing a "mutual journey" with fans; in the spring of 2018, Pink Drink began to expand beyond the U.S. market, launching in Starbucks stores across North American markets like Canada, etc.

It's been seven years, and the calls from domestic markets have remained quite high, but this internet-famous beverage still hasn't expanded beyond the North American market!

New Bottled Beverages

According to reports, another 🍍 "Paradise Drink" was also launched together with this ready-to-drink bottled version. It's a beverage that blends passion fruit, pineapple, and coconut milk to create a unique tropical flavor.

The only difference between these two bottled ready-to-drink versions and the in-store versions is that the drinks don't contain strawberry pieces and pineapple pieces. However, their prices will also be slightly cheaper than the in-store versions.

Looking to the Future

From a niche "secret hidden menu" to being loved by global fans, Pink Drink undoubtedly demonstrates its unique charm. Now, it's also contributing to the expansion of Starbucks' ready-to-drink beverage market, making it easier for people who love these drinks to enjoy them in their daily lives.

Let's look forward to what surprises Pink Drink will bring to more consumers in the future!
