FamilyMart's new strawberry product praised by netizens: much better than last year's plum juice

December to mid-February is the peak strawberry season, and major convenience stores have launched a variety of strawberry products and strawberry-themed promotions, causing consumers to empty their wallets. Recently, a netizen bought FamilyMart's new product "Strawberry Love Milk Cool Blizzard" and found it much improved compared to last year's Strawberry Cool Blizzard, prompting netizens to praise: "Even non-strawberry lovers think it's delicious!"

A netizen posted on "Dcard," mentioning that after last year's buy-one-get-one-free Strawberry Milk Cool Blizzard finally cleared out inventory, this year FamilyMart introduced a brand-new strawberry flavor. They also said they were drawn to this new product, "Strawberry Love Milk Cool Blizzard," and bought it. "The first sip revealed a huge improvement over last year's flavor. It contains strawberry pieces and vanilla ice cream, and overall it’s slightly sweet but with a hint of strawberry tartness, so it’s not cloying. Even I, who isn’t a strawberry fan, found it quite good."

The netizen also said that, in comparison, last year’s strawberry slush contained Oreo crumbs, which were totally off and didn’t match at all. It was marketed as a strawberry flavor, but it tasted more like a plum slush.

In response, netizens who had tried it also complimented: "Truly improved, and there are lots of fruit pieces giving it a jam-like milk slush feel," "Compared to last year, I didn’t know what to drink before—this year it’s really so much better," "As a store employee, I also highly recommend it, great value for money." However, some netizens said last year’s flavor was better: "Am I the only weird one? I loved last year’s version, haven’t tried this year’s yet," "I also liked last year’s—even though my friends said it was bad," "Last year’s +1, so good I drank it every day."
