In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the iconic Disney series hannah montanaStarbucks is coming out with a special drink — but all fans of the show are saying the same thing.
Titled the “Secret Popstar Refresher,” the drink is a strawberry acai with raspberry cold foam. However, viewers of the Miley Cyrus-led series pointed out that Hannah (or Miley) could never be presented like this. The proof is in a classic episode of the show.
Hannah Montana fans angry over flavor choice
In the season 1 episode “Smells Like Teen Sellout”, Hannah is asked to promote a raspberry-scented perfume. However, Miley, the girl behind Hannah, has hated raspberries since childhood. The memory of the raspberry pie-eating contest that left young Miley vomiting was painful. In the episode, Hannah/Miley has to decide whether to make a deal or try to recover from her raspberry trauma.
Every time the perfume is sprayed, Hannah gags at the smell. Even attempting to stick her head into a bowl of raspberries with a snorkel fails to cure Hannah’s fear. However, in the end, she decides to stay true to herself and her fans and say no to the perfume deal.
Then, fans immediately picked up on the issue and it quickly spread online as soon as Starbucks made the announcement. For example, at X (formerly Twitter), posted by @kellyjj16 “Hannah Montana if she tasted her raspberry drink today,” along with a video in which Hannah is disgusted by the perfume.
@groovybmovie similarly responded, “It’s literally canon that Hannah Montana hates raspberries so much that it makes her mouth shut.”
For the 20th anniversary, Starbucks will also play Hannah Montana songs throughout the day in its stores. However, the main event will take place on Disney+, where Miley will revisit the show that made her a superstar.
