Starbucks' Hannah Montana Drink Mocks Iconic Fear
24 Mar
Summary
- Starbucks launched a new drink honoring Hannah Montana's anniversary.
- The drink features raspberry, a flavor Hannah Montana despised.
- Fans and Disney Channel acknowledged the ironic flavor choice.
In honor of the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, Starbucks has introduced a "Hannah's Secret Popstar Refresher" available on their secret menu. This new beverage incorporates raspberry flavoring, a detail that has not gone unnoticed by fans of the popular Disney Channel series.
Fans quickly pointed out the irony, as Hannah Montana herself had a strong aversion to raspberries stemming from a traumatic childhood pie-eating contest. This backstory was a significant plot point in the show's first season.
Starbucks acknowledged the fan reactions, hinting on Instagram that the raspberry flavor was a deliberate reference to the show's "raspberry saga." Disney Channel's official account also commented, celebrating the continuation of this "raspberry lore."
The drink's release precedes the premiere of a Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special on Disney+, where Miley Cyrus will reprise her iconic role. Cyrus has recently spoken about the lasting impact of the character, noting how important Hannah Montana remains to many people.
