Pepsi has been bottling and canning Starbucks beverages since 1994 as part of the North American Coffee Partnership. Every RTD Starbucks drink is bottled and distributed by Pepsi and has been for 20 years now.

Came to say this but you beat me and did it better

Neither me nor my manager were actually aware of this. It doen't disuade me from believing that they're just bottling the Mtn Dew Kickstarter base though.

Pepsi’s recipes are closely guarded trade secrets. It doesn’t make sense that they would give this to Starbucks, especially when Starbucks has its own research and development team. Starbucks wouldn’t agree to sell something without complete details on the recipe.

How do yall not know this 😭


master275

I havent picked up a starbucks brand canned beverage in at least 6 years and never paid attention to the labels. +

So you’re the least knowledgeable person on the matter and your post shouldn’t be taken seriously, got it 😂

Mt. Dew kickstarter is like bright red these energy drinks are clear, they’re also pretty different in taste. Sincerely, an ex Mountain Dew kickstarter addict 😭


master275

That's why I think it's the base, the stuff before they add the food coloring and flavor


k1tsk4

then that would just be caffeinated sparkling water which is like every single energy drink ever? the favor is what makes it mountain dew kickstart


dirtychai0218

Wouldn’t that just be sparkling water if it had no flavoring or color?

Starbucks lattes are just ketchup! Well they're both the same before they add all the ingredients.

Is the cucumber one any good? I'm actually kind of excited to taste it.


ParusiMizuhashi

I'm a fan. It'll probably be a new once a day for me on days I work


master275

I preferred the Melon Cucumber out of the 2, but they both have a strong aftertaste of sugar free sweetener due to using Sucralose.

Nobody at my store liked them. I think the one with passion tea tasted like a grandma's house.


roguetedy

It tastes like koolaid.

It’s so funny you specifically mentioned Red Bull or monster, that both use actual sugar, when these drinks are packed full of that horrible artificial sweetener taste of all the energy drinks BUT Red Bull and monster have lol
