Starbucks is leaving no stone unturned in the mass-produced "Custom" beverage game, developing its own made-to-order sodas. Really, it was the only logical progression after they started selling booze. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/Z7lbS
But wait! you say. Hasn't Starbucks been selling bottled soda out of that fridge case everyone ignores for ages now? Indeed they have, dear viewer. But now, Starbucks in Atlanta and Austin are now offering "handcrafted" sodas to their menu. "Handcrafted" means there's now yet another piece of equipment for baristas to contend with, all so customers can have freshly made soda...
... Is "Freshly-made" an adjective that we really, truly, need in soda? Does it count as "Handcrafted" if the soda is still made with a flavor mix? Well, Starbucks is trying to find out. They're eating out a Lemon Ale, Spiced Root Beer, and Golden Ginger Ale.
