It is said that domestic Starbucks will fully usher in a "major revolution in syrup." Today, the familiar sweetness adjustment formula will become a thing of the past, replaced by "authentic sugar-free" thick pulp products.

Customers familiar with Starbucks know that regardless of whether new or old products, the taste of many coffees mainly comes from various flavored syrups, so its intensity depends on how much syrup is added. This also means that if consumers are unable to accept excessive sweetness and ask the clerk to reduce sugar, the main "flavor" in the coffee will also be weakened. However, in this era that advocates low sugar, more and more people are taking the initiative to reduce the sweetness due to health considerations. The ensuing result is "lack of flavor," and Starbucks has been criticized a lot for this.

Therefore, in order to satisfy this kind of customers who want flavor but are afraid of sweetness, Starbucks came up with a new strategy, which is to separate flavor and syrup separately and let consumers choose and match them.

Yesterday, Starbucks China announced that it will officially launch the "True Flavor Sugar-Free" innovation system in stores across the country today, splitting the original classic flavor syrup into a zero-sugar flavor thick slurry and an independent original syrup, allowing flavor and sweetness to "perform their duties", thus opening the era of customization of flavor and sweetness. At the same time, in order to provide more choices, Starbucks China has also added two new flavors,"Berry" and "Colorful".

Simply put, starting from today on at Starbucks, products including flavored drinks and classic coffees can be added with additional flavored syrup and choose the desired sweetness.

As the saying goes, if the old does not go, the new does not come. With the finalization and implementation of Starbucks 'sugar change policies, front-line employees naturally have to get busy. In order to welcome the arrival of "new partners," baristas not only have to keep in mind the usage of the new formula, but also have to take responsibility of sending off the "old partner" overnight.

Since late night last night, a large number of Starbucks employees in charge of the collection bar have posted on social platforms lamenting that the "old guys" who have been with them for a long time are about to enter scrapping mode because they will all be poured into the sewer. The accompanying pictures are arranged next to the pool. Various flavored syrups are waiting to be destroyed, including classic flavors such as vanilla, hazelnut, and sea salt caramel that were popular among consumers in the past, as well as the permanent Tahitian vanilla and original syrup.

According to employees, in the past, many Starbucks materials were gradually removed from the market after natural consumption. First, they could meet the repurchase needs of individual consumers, and secondly, they would not be too wasteful. Because of this, most stores will prepare sufficient "sugar sources" as needed before the sugar change policy is issued, so that they can come in handy. But what everyone didn't expect was that this time Starbucks unexpectedly announced the implementation of "one size fits all" across the country, which means that shop assistants must destroy all the stock of old syrup in the store after closing on the 7th and replace it with a new series.

Although they felt a waste in their hearts, the migrant workers had to unscrew bottle after bottle of syrup, then directly flip it over, and let it flow into the sewer until the inventory was completely emptied, and finally use their own water to wash away the residual sweetness in the pool. Faced with the complete scrapping of the materials they were all familiar with, many old employees couldn't help but sigh: An era is over!
