So yesterday my wife told me about a Starbucks via Facebook offer for a Grande iced coffee, iced tea, or refresher for $1. Since I've been curious about their new refreshers I figured $1 was a low risk buy.vI redeemed my offer for the Cool Lime version. Starbucks advertises these drinks as being light, refreshing, and caffeinated via green coffee extract. They pic from their website does make them look perfect for a hot summer day. Well let me tell you..Don't Believe The Hype. I got my refresher and as I drove away from the Starbucks drive-through I realized I wasn't given a grande which was promised in the coupon, but rather a tall. So yeah they screwed me on their coupon. Next fail was the drink itself. 1. The volume of the drink is primarily composed of ice cubes. WTF indeed. Next the beverage itself is nothing more than watered down limeade with one lonely slice of lime. Pretty pathetic. It tasted weak. As comparison Simply Limeade is about a gazillion times limier and tastier. And to think Starbucks charges the same price for these refreshers as a coffee drink. What a joke. Glad I only spent a dollar instead of $3.45. Anyway, save your money and buy an Evolution OJ if you need refreshment. Sure they're four bucks but at least they taste like fresh squeezed juice.
