Whatever Happened To Starbucks' Fizzio Handcrafted Sodas?
BY WENDY LEIGH
Bubbling up the 2014 summer cold-drink scene at Starbucks, Fizzio handcrafted sodas were made to order. Unfortunately, the jazzy new sodas simply disappeared.
The three Fizzio flavors mimicked old-fashioned retro soda-fountain drinks, including Spiced Root Beer, Golden Ginger Ale, and Lemon Ale.
Starbucks gambled fairly big on Fizzio's success, dropping them onto about one-third of its store menus across the United States. Within two years, they were no longer on the menu.
Maybe the idea was too ambitious, or it fell too far outside the Starbucks core product line. Despite a lack of conversation on the topic, a brief statement was released in 2016.
According to The Motley Fool, it was acknowledged that Fizzios were no longer on the menu, but that Starbucks remained committed to the carbonation platform.
