Starbucks discontinued refreshers in late 2016. This was a surprise to many customers, as refreshers had been a part of Starbucks for many years.
Some speculated that this was due to health concerns over the ingredients in the refreshers, while others suggested that Starbucks was simply running out of ideas for new drinks. Starbucks did not offer a clear explanation for the discontinuation, but said that it would continue to offer iced coffee and Frappuccinos.
