In July 2023, Manner's "exploding" dried ginger American style appeared on social media. It soon used its unique ginger flavor and bubbly water to double stimulate the taste buds in the mouth, becoming the heart of many fans. Good, even for a time I couldn't extricate myself from love.

As this playful cup of ginger-flavored coffee continues to screen the screen, it has also been included in the brand's permanent menu due to its high popularity. In addition, it has been widely praised for its taste. Even two years later, it is still the first choice for many consumers when ordering Manner.

But recently, when many old fans went downstairs to make coffee, they found that the American style of dried ginger seemed to have lost its flavor. The unique taste that originally made people "go to the top" not only completely disappeared, but the flavor of ginger was particularly obvious. It began to "spicy" at the entrance. Only then did the barista realize that Manner had quietly changed the ingredients.

According to feedback from fans in many places, Manner's adjustment is mainly due to a change in raw materials. One of the protagonists has been changed from Coca-Cola's Yiquan to Watsons, so the taste of coffee has also changed from the original light, sweet and slightly spicy refreshing taste."Full of flavor," and everyone has begun to call online whether the brand can be changed back.

To this end, some netizens also initiated a vote on "Dried ginger American coffee, Yiquan is still Watsons." Finally, with the participation of more than 200 people, the Yiquan Party won the vote with an absolute advantage of 80%. In other words, compared with the two most easily available dried ginger sodas in China, the coffee made with Yiquan tastes significantly more like by people. The reason is Watsons '"too ginger."

In the eyes of many people, if drunk alone, Yiquan's dried ginger soda is relatively sweet. Whether it is the ginger flavor or the carbonated drink itself, the stimulation is relatively soft, so it is easy to drink with coffee and is not a natural person who likes eating ginger. It is also very friendly;

In contrast, although Watsons 'version of soda contains sugar, the drink itself has a strong ginger flavor. Not only is it spicy in the mouth, but it is also more bubbly than Yiquan. After adding coffee, its bitterness may be doubled and amplified. When drinking it, it will be "ginger and strong", and the taste will naturally not be so pleasant. After all, products with too spicy taste are usually difficult for everyone to accept.

Regarding this material replacement, many consumers have also noticed that due to the uneven inventory quantities in stores across Manner, netizens in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing, Zhengzhou and other cities have reported on social platforms that the dried ginger American style they ordered has been replaced by Watsons 'ginger soda. Although stores in other regions still produce Yiquan, they will soon be replaced with the "new version" after they are all consumed.

At the thought that "White Moonlight" was about to taste bad, the old fans also admitted that the American formula of dried ginger has long been known to everyone. As long as there is a coffee machine at home and ingredients are prepared, the same model can be reproduced at any time.

Even if there is no equipment for making coffee at home, Manner has always supported bringing your own cup of concentrate. If you want to drink back the original taste, you can buy a can of Yiquan dried ginger soda before making coffee, and then mix it into the concentrate and ice cubes. You can easily get the same coffee. Moreover, with the discount of bringing your own cup, the cost of the homemade version of dried ginger American is even lower than that of the direct one, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
