Fans react as Hannah Montana-themed Starbucks drink sparks backlash

A new Hannah Montana-inspired Starbucks drink is sparking strong reactions online, with fans pointing out one major issue: the flavor choice.

The limited-time beverage, created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, features a raspberry element, something longtime viewers immediately recognised as contradictory to the character’s story.

In the series, portrayed by Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana famously dislikes raspberries after a past incident, even saying that the smell makes her feel sick. That detail quickly became the focus of online discussion once the drink began circulating.

Fans reacted across social media, pointing out that the character “would’ve hated” the raspberry-flavoured drink. 

Some users joked about the contradiction, while others questioned how such a well-known detail from the show could be overlooked. The reactions highlight how closely fans still connect to the character and her storyline years after the show first aired.

The drink itself is part of a special anniversary rollout tied to renewed interest in the franchise, but the raspberry inclusion has become the defining talking point.
