Ever scrolled through TikTok and wondered if those bizarre, multi-layered Starbucks orders favoured by A-listers are actually worth the hype? We decided to bypass the rumours and put the most viral celebrity caffeine creations to the ultimate taste test.
The Methodology: Undercover At The Counter
Armed with a list of the internet's most famous orders, our intrepid reporter hit a local Starbucks, ready to decode the secret menu and face the barista's judgement. The mission: to find out if these drinks are a delicious secret or a gloriously overpriced mistake.
The Contenders: A-Listers Vs. The Grinder
1. Hailey Bieber's Strawberry Glaze Drink
The order that broke the internet: a Pink Drink blended with strawberry puree, vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and a sprinkle of freeze-dried strawberries.
The Verdict: "It’s like a melted, caffeinated strawberry milkshake," our tester noted. "Overwhelmingly sweet, but dangerously moreish. A definite win for those with a serious sweet tooth, but perhaps not an everyday indulgence."
2. Blake Lively's Complex Customisation
The Gossip Girl star's order is not for the faint-hearted: a Grande Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte with two extra shots and a splash of soy milk.
The Verdict: "This is for those who take their coffee seriously, not their calories," we concluded. "It’s strong, bitter, and decidedly grown-up. It gets the job done, but it's far from the luxurious experience you might expect from a celebrity favourite."
3. The TikTok Famous Iced White Mocha with Sweet Cream Foam
While not tied to one celebrity, this drink has achieved viral fame on its own, becoming a staple of the 'secret menu'.
The Verdict: "This is liquid dessert in a cup," our reporter claimed. "Incredibly rich, decadent, and arguably more of a treat than a beverage. The sweetness is intense, making it a once-in-a-while luxury rather than a daily driver."
The Final Sip: Are Celebrity Orders Worth It?
The experiment revealed a clear divide. While some drinks, like Bieber's, offer a fun, Instagram-worthy experience, others are acquired tastes. The universal truth? Be prepared for a hefty price tag and a potentially confused barista.
Proceed with caution: these orders are often packed with sugar and hidden calories. The real secret might just be that sometimes, a classic flat white is all you really need.
