Not long ago, it was reported that China's Starbucks will launch the worldwide popular "Pink Drink" at the end of May / June, which makes the small partners in the mainland look forward to it!

The Chinese translation of Pink Drink's product has also become a topic of discussion among many netizens, who think that this product may be renamed with product ingredients as usual, or directly use the translated names of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, such as "Pink Strawberry Star Bing Shuang" and "Strawberry Lemon Star Bing Shuang".

But! absolutely unexpected! Everyone looked forward to the announcement of the name for half a month, which left Starbucks friends speechless. So they shared it one after another on the social platform, and the netizens also lived in silence. Surprisingly, this time, in addition to Pink Drink and its little sister, there is also its partner fire dragon + mango combination! The surprise is that their names are "pink coffee", "pink berry lemon coffee", "magic purple coffee" and "Mangzi lemon coffee" respectively.

Regardless of whether the product name is easy to read in the native language of different regions, it is hot for many friends in the south to read it. There are also friends who think that magic purple sounds like a potion, and they always feel that they dare not drink it in the Chinese context.

Why does the series have no coffee, but the name uses the word "raw coffee"? According to the list of ingredients displayed on Starbucks'US website, the juice used in the series will contain extracts from raw coffee beans, so a cup of drink will contain 45-55mg caffeine.

As for why the word "Xingbing Shuang" is not used as in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but "raw coffee", some netizens speculated that in order to highlight the uniqueness and differences, some netizens speculated that they wanted to compare it with the "raw coconut" series full of streets.

In recent years, many countries have begun to launch "raw coffee" products. It is said that a cup of coffee a day mixed with roasted coffee beans can achieve better antioxidant and weight loss effects.

As early as a few years ago, some scholars began to study the effect of "raw coffee". In order to estimate the weight loss effect of "raw coffee" and "black coffee", the researchers conducted a four-week experiment. Half of the participants drank a cup of raw coffee before breakfast, while the other half drank a cup of black coffee before breakfast.

After drinking for two weeks, the average weight of people who drank "raw coffee" lost about 1.59 kilograms, while those who drank "black coffee" lost about 0.13 kilograms. After drinking "raw coffee" for four weeks, the average weight of people who drank "raw coffee" lost about 2.01 kilograms. On the other hand, the average weight of people who drank "black coffee" lost about 0.25 kg.

It can be seen from the experimental results that although drinking "black coffee" can also achieve the effect of losing weight, the effect is obviously not comparable to that of "raw coffee". The reason is that chlorogenic acid in raw coffee beans can improve insulin sensitivity, regulate sugar and lipid metabolism, and play an important role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and other chronic diseases.

Of course, this is only the effect of raw coffee, put in a drink with syrup, the effect of raw coffee is obviously not available. So the word "raw coffee" has little to do with the ingredients of this product, but it can also be regarded as a cup of decaf product.
