Starbucks just dropped a new cold brew—and brought back a fan-favorite syrup
Hot on the heels of making their secret menu official, Starbucks has announced the return of its beloved raspberry syrup, ripe and ready to add a taste of summer to your favorite coffee beverage. Starting today, July 29, you can sip on a brand new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew or whatever sweet, fruity coffee combo you come up with. This raspberry revival is just as tasty as the syrup you know and love, with a bright new upgrade. The juicy, sweet-tart flavor is the same, but the syrup is now tinted with a bold sangria hue thanks to the addition of real fruits and veggies. To showcase the return of raspberry, Starbucks is also introducing the brand-new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew. It's made with smooth Starbucks cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with a frothy layer of raspberry cream cold foam. The drink balances smooth cocoa flavors of the cold brew with notes of raspberry, making it the perfect summer pick-me-up. Beyond this signature drink, the raspberry syrup is ready to remix your usual Starbucks order, or you can try a few house recommendations: White Chocolate Mocha with Raspberry Syrup: Raspberry brings a fruity twist to creamy white chocolate and espresso, available hot or iced. Strawberry Acai Refresher with Raspberry Syrup: Sweet strawberry, passionfruit and açaí notes are boosted by raspberry, shaken with ice and real strawberry pieces. Iced Green Tea with Raspberry Syrup: Green tea meets mint, lemongrass, lemon verbena and a punch of raspberry. Like hot summer days, this seasonal flavor won't be around forever, so stop by your favorite Starbucks to pick up a raspberry-tinged treat while it lasts.

Woman's Starbucks Bill Surprise Has Over A Million People Watching In Disbelief
Everything from essentials to food is expensive right now. It has gotten so bad that people are calling it a crisis, and many have stopped buying everyday items altogether. People aren't getting haircuts, they've stopped going out to eat, buying living this too, you get it. So, it's no surprise over a million people have related to this viral video of popular TikToker Avery Katherine Wood when the price of her recent Starbucks order left her speechless. In the video, Avery records herself in the drive-thru. She orders a grilled cheese and a venti Strawberry Acai Refresher blended with lemonade. She also adds popping boba. And when the drive-thru worker tells her the total is $15.43, she is so speechless, she reacts with a mixture of facial expressions: And finally musters up all she can think: "OH MY GOSH..." "FIFTEEN DOLLARS??????" she says, repeating the amount back to herself. Trying to make sense of it, she adds, "Popping boba had to be like, added $2.50." Still in shock, she repeats, "WHAT? OH MY GOSH!!!" She then recalls the cost of her recent order from Chicken Salad Chick where she said she spent $13 on a drink, a cookie, broccoli salad, and "a big ass sandwich." "And I just dropped $15 on a grilled cheese and a Starbucks THE FUDGE," she concludes in her video, which has a lot of people talking about more than just her hilarious facial reactions. People immediately started trying to break down the price for her... Which still seemed to leave her in disbelief. But, sadly, many have already gotten accustomed to these high prices, so the shock factor is no longer there. In fact, things are so expensive in some places, the price of her order is actually considered reasonable in comparison. Either way, the prices are obviously tough to fork over. Despite people still trying to find alternative ways to save money at Starbucks, like using the mobile app, they say they always have to double-check the price ahead of time. To sum it up, it's just another example of how people are struggling to afford the same things in 2025 that they did in 2022. As someone who doesn't frequent Starbucks (shoutout to my 7-year-old Keurig that is still going strong!), I wondered what the price would be near where I live in Burbank, California. So, I downloaded the app and pretended to order as a pickup since I know delivery charges fees. I wasn't able to order the exact Strawberry Acai Refresher because they didn't have the popping boba, but I did select blended with raspberry pearls. The grilled cheese was sold out. The total for just the drink came to $7.50 before tax/tip, so I am assuming if I were to add a grilled cheese, it would easily be $15, likely higher. What state do you live in, and what was the recent price of something that shocked you so much it stopped you in your tracks?
