Some time ago, Starbucks used the Night Pumpkin Frappuccino sold in Japan last year as a Halloween restricted drink at its mainland stores, attracting fans to place orders.

However, this cold drink is not acceptable to all users at a time when the temperature is gradually dropping. As a result, Starbucks launched a warm red magic cocoa black tea latte to meet the needs of some consumers.

According to promotional posters and the official App, the Halloween drink is limited to a hot tea latte, coupled with its high appearance (compared to the same series of black cappuccinos), which attracts fans who value their appearance but don't want too much caffeine to place orders for fresh taste.

However, to the surprise of many consumers, when they took the drink out of the takeout bag and opened the lid, the cream top above the cocoa black tea latte disappeared, leaving only a clean liquid surface. They looked at the promotional pictures and then looked at the physical objects they had received, and immediately wanted to say, "where is my top, please?" to the shop staff.

In response, Starbucks workers hastened to explain that since this drink can only be made into a hot drink, the added cream top melts quickly after contact with the hot drink, so most takeout users will find that the cream top is gone when they receive the drink.

Customers in many stores also said that they did have a cream top on the drink they had just got, and the cream top would melt itself over a long period of time, not because the clerks cut corners during production. Because of this, many users who want to take pictures choose to drink them on the spot and take a few photos before the cream is eroded by hot drinks.

However, even with the cream top, fans can not help feeling that the appearance of the drink can really make people black, "what is it", "disgusting", "super drink contraction", "instant no desire to buy". Many people teased that the real thing they got really confirmed the sentence "the picture is for reference only" on the poster.

It is worth mentioning that in some of the photos posted by netizens, Starbucks workers noticed that "the topping was added wrong". They explained that the new product was decorated with brown mocha sauce and rose raspberry syrup, but some shop assistants may have taken the wrong syrup and mistook the black caramel sauce used for another drink for mocha sauce.

Some users said that Halloween drinks were intended to cater to the festive atmosphere by making usually rare colors appear on the drinks, making consumers feel the urge to try because of their flamboyant appearance. But when he found that he had received a cup of "seller show" that he could not look directly at, the face party was disappointed and could not help questioning the brand's new product research and development. "this design is unreasonable, it can only be hot to drink, and the lid can't be seen at all." and "it looks good and it's lonely."

However, some optimistic netizens believe that although the new product is strangely ugly, this cup of "witch soup", which is more strangely colored, is not just in line with the strange theme of Halloween.
