Review of Starbuck’s Orange/Mango Blend

So, today, I’m at Starbucks writing this blog post, and thought I’d review the new orange mango blend. While I am a bit irritated at the perkiest Barista ever being not only perky but incompetent, I will let my coffee shop jack ass ways not have an effect on this review. Whenever you drink Mike’s hard lemonade, after you take the top off, the very first sip you can taste the alcohol, but the alcohol taste goes away the more you drink it starts to taste more like lemonade. Well, at Starbucks the new mango orange blend starts out the same way, except that the starting taste partying in your mouth tastes like (Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, Dihearrea) pepto-bismal. As a kid I couldn’t decide if I enjoyed the artificial taste of pink pepto hanging out in my mouth, or I preferred it to the phony grape taste of Robbitussin. Either way, I don’t think starbuck’s first taste idea was supposed to be pepto-bismal. The drink tastes much better after first sip, and you can really taste the flavors the way the drink makes it sound as if they are  supposed to taste. Once you get passed the pepto phase the drink tastes cool and fruity. I’m a huge fan of the banana added to the drink, probably because I like bananas mixed with oranges. I’m not sure about whether or not I like the accompanying taste of mango. Don’t you think an orange banana shake would truly rock? I did drink the entire drink. yes. and I will say that as far as drinks go, this isn’t the worst one out there.
