"You're going to see a lot of beverage innovation. We are absolutely living in the most interesting times for beverages and I love it. To immerse myself in the sugary, iced world of beverage innovation, I tried out some of the new and weird drinks at a few big chains: Starbucks, Dunkin', and McDonald's."
"McDonald's itself just launched a new drink menu of strange new concoctions this week. There are some new fruity drinks as well as a twist on the dirty soda trend. The very kind cashier chatted with me about the new drinks, and said that so far, he's noticed the Sprite with cream and the Blackberry Passionfruit Refreshers have been the best sellers."
"I almost ordered the Dirty Dr Pepper, but realized I have always disliked Dr Pepper, so this was not a good place to start. Instead, I went with the Orange Dream, which is Hi-C topped with vanilla cold foam. I also went for the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, which comes with little strawberry bits."
