So I keep seeing these referenced in various media formats but I don’t recall ever seeing one on the menu where I live (Australia). Maybe they are sold under a different name? Maybe only in some places and I wasn’t paying attention? I don’t know, but I sure know I’ve never ordered one.

Am I missing out? What do these taste like? What’s the hype all about?

Also- is there a popular food/drink you aren’t against trying, that you haven’t tried yet?

    I don’t think Starbucks has a ton of locations in Australia but they do sell pumpkin spice lattes this time of year. So if you live near one, you could try it. Personally, I think they’re pretty gross but I also don’t love sweet coffee.

        I’m assuming they’re probably near air ports and touristy areas. They did the same thing in Italy, of all places. But they still exist there for tourists who don’t know any better.

      Hm that might explain things. I’m not a Starbucks fan… I’ve been a few times and desisted. But thanks for the info, will keep in mind!
