- “And it looks nothing like the photo. Tastes like a watered down banana Laffy Taffy.”
- “Isn’t tie-die supposed to be more than 1 color? #FalseAdvertising”
- “No colored dust, and basically a yellow drink. Expectation Vs Reality. I was looking forward to this, @Starbucks #disappointed #starbucks #tiedye ??”
- “Disappointed not what was pictured at all. But tastes good.”
- “WHEN do a release of a drink like this, the least you should do is put a training and the materials into each store so that it AT LEAST comes out looking like what you are promoting….. feels like false advertisement. It’s a yellow frap we are getting not tie dye. so disappoint.”
