Costco debuts new frozen strawberry lemonade as members share mixed reviews: 'Too tart'
The new Costco food court beverage item seems to have arrived just in time for summer. Costco members on a popular Instagram page dedicated to the Washington-based wholesale club are sharing their thoughts about the new frozen strawberry lemonade drink. The frozen strawberry lemonade costs $2.99, has 250 calories and is made with real fruit and no artificial flavors or colors, according to its promotional poster above Costco food court counters. A recent video on the Instagram page Costco Hot Finds touts the new drink. "This one is so good and it's so refreshing," content creator Laura Jayne Lamb said in the video voiceover. Fox News Digital reached out to Costco Hot Finds for additional comment. "The strawberry banana was way better." Costco members seemed to be divided about the drink, with comments ranging from "just ok" to "AWESOME." "The strawberry banana was way better," one commenter said. "Had one. It's a bit tart so be prepared! But refreshing," another commenter said. "I want the churro back," yet another commenter remarked. The frozen strawberry lemonade seemingly took the place of the strawberry banana smoothie, which debuted earlier this year. Costco members on a Reddit page devoted to Costco gossip also sounded off about the new drink. "It's good but too sweet for me," one person wrote. Another Reddit user agreed. "It's a little too tart for me." "It's a little too tart for me," the person wrote. "The strawberries were nice. It's just the strawberries from the sundae, but it's a nice touch." Reddit user "5BoysMom13grands" shared a story about a recent encounter with a friend who was coming out of Costco with "an almost empty cup with a small amount of red chunks in the bottom." 5BoysMom13grands "asked her what it was since it wasn't the usual smoothie or the new strawberry/banana option" and learned about the new drink. She said she was inspired to order two – one for her and one for her husband – and tried to drink it on the way home, but "the fruit kept getting stuck." "No matter how much I blew out the straw I could only get a partial sip or so," 5BoysMom13grands wrote. "I got home and we kept trying to drink it. I finally said, give me your drink, I dropped it into the Vitamix and wham, bam, now I have something I can drink. Honestly for $6.59 for two drinks, I won't be doing this again!" Costco has made headlines for its food court changes in recent years. The fan-favorite combo pizza was recently revived as the "Combo Calzone," stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms. In January, Costco announced it would be replacing Pepsi products with Coca-Cola fountain drinks later this year. The popular churro was discontinued in early 2024. Fox News Digital reached out to Costco for comment on the latest food court drink.

Costco's Latest Deli Item Has Fans Seriously Scratching Their Heads—Shoppers Say It 'Tastes Awful'
With the arrival of the warmer months, potato salad is a dish you're sure to see at backyard barbeques, pool parties, picnics and other seasonal gatherings. Despite the immense popularity of this dish, a new type of potato salad available at Costco has dedicated shoppers seeing red. In a post shared on Instagram, Laura Lamb of @costcohotfinds shared with fans that she recently spotted Loaded Potato Salad in the warehouse's deli. Related: "There's a new Loaded Potato Salad in the Costco deli in a two-and-a-half pound container. It's made with Russet and roasted potatoes and topped with bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese. This one was creamy and delicious," she revealed in her video. To create that creamy base, both sour cream and mayonnaise is used for the Loaded Potato Salad. Although the zesty dish combines two fan-faves—loaded potato salad and mashed potatoes—many shoppers were left scratching their heads. Some were unsure of whether or not it should be eaten cold. Others were taken aback by the cheese on top remaining unmelted. "I putting that bad boy in the oven," said one Costco shopper-turned-potato salad rebel. "Not gonna melt the cheese?" another person asked. Related: Others were concerned about there being onions or other veggies in the potato salad. "Any veggies in it? Hate potato salad with veggies in it," one of them wrote. And then, there were the not-so-favorable reviews from those who have tried the new side dish. "We bought this and my husband hated it and he LOVES potato salad," read one comment. "This tastes awful. I don't recommend it. It tastes nothing like potato salad," said another critic. If you are willing to give the Loaded Potato Salad a shot, you can purchase it at Costco for $3.99 per pound.
