The Wicked Starbucks Drinks And Other Wicked Based Adventures At Target

I talked recently about Wicked merch for the upcoming movie, some I saw in the store, and a lot more I saw online. Today I ventured out, and I went to Target, looking for Wicked merch in person and for the display I saw when I was there a week ago. Wanting to see some of the merch in person as well as try the two Wicked Drinks from the Starbucks located in the Target as well. This is what I found. 

When I entered the store, the big kiosk dedicated to the movie was already torn down, only lasting about a couple weeks, it was replaced by the coming of Christmas. Even though it is early November, time and Christmas in retail stores wait for no one, thus the first hurdle presented itself before me. Now I had to search the entire store and see what gravity-defying merch I could find. 

As I wandered the store, I found multiple Lego sets, some different than I had encountered before, I found some costumes, some of those being Halloween costumes on clearance, others with the Wicked dolls. Across from the dolls was a Wicked board game which I have no idea how it plays, and next to them was a Wicked karaoke machine with a microphone. On my way through the candy aisle, I noticed Wicked Rice Krispy Treats with different packaging, and sprinkles on the treats as well. As I finished my shopping, purchasing none of these products, I knew it was time to go to Starbucks and buy the two drinks available, while in line I noticed some cool Wicked themed cups that were very well made. They were stainless steel and had some different designs, there was even a super small Wicked cup charm to collect, I was tempted to make a purchase but stayed the course.

The two drinks in question which I ordered the smallest size were Elphaba's Cold Brew and Glinda's Pink Potion, two very fitting drinks, complete with whipped cream and sprinkles, as I was purchasing them, there was even a Wicked themed Starbucks gift card that has the Emerald City on it, this movie is truly everywhere. 

When I arrived at home I sampled both drinks, let's begin with Elphaba's cold brew. This a chocolate frappuccino, with flavored whipped cream, and sprinkles. I am not a big fan of coffee but this drink could be for anyone who is, I had some sips and from an objective point of view, this is good iced coffee with a sweet flavor, just not for me. 

Next up was Glinda's Pink Poition, which when I sipped it reminded me of the mango dragonfruit refresher, and is made in a similar style to those popular drinks. This drink is bright pink unlike the green brew that I tried before it, and has sprinkles, milk, and whipped cream. I will definitely be drinking this again, this is the kind of drink I usually get from Starbucks and I loved it. I usually get drinks in this style and definitely want to order another one, So this one became a new favorite of mine, a drink I already love, combined with some musical theatre pizazz. 

That was my adventure and it ended with a great drink that I want to try again, and one I want to recommend. I saw some unique products in person and got to see the fun packaging and such even seeing some things I was not aware of, and I am sure as the movie comes closer and closer, I and many others wait with bated breath among teasers, premieres, press junkets, and more, I am sure I will come across more products and perhaps even try them, there is more Wicked content to come, so stay tuned and I hope your day is a showstopper.
