One of my blogging colleagues regularly writes a “food fight” article. He compares similar types of food to determine which offers more value and quality. In that same line of thinking, I present The Drink Battle of the Ages. Before we do some comparisons, can you imagine the huge amount of money made between these two franchises?
Now, back from fantasy to reality. Butterbeer and other drinks that create long lines at Universal Orlando. In fact, this drink forms long lines wherever wizarding drinks can be found. This sugary creation comes in standard cold, frozen, and hot varieties. I prefer butterbeer in ice cream form, but the excellence of this themed beverage earns all the hype. I have two main criticisms of this beverage. It contains more sugar than the plant-based version.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests were finally able to try the colorful blue or green milks featured in Star Wars franchise lore. Blue milk is plant-based coconut milk and rice milk with added fruity flavors. Still, green milk consists of a plant-based blend of coconut and rice milk with a more tropical, lime-type flavor. I know he said it tasted better than what was given to him in the. Guest reviews about this drink are mixed. There are also his two main criticisms of this drink. Weird texture and general flavor dislike.
In this drinking war, plant-based drinkers have only one choice. This criticism of Butterbeer is nothing new to me. However, these two drinks cost essentially the same amount at their respective theme parks. Objectively, this should solve the problem. Above you’ll see a recent photo taken from Diagon Alley. You can see Butterbeer on one side. But on the other side you can see the empty blue/green milk cups of the Galaxy’s Edge. We found the size difference to be large. But this he forgot how much the two drinks were different. Did I mention they both basically cost the same? You can also cheat by saying he gets a 15% discount on an annual pass to Universal Orlando. There is no annual pass discount for milk.
I’ll let you decide which drink wins this battle. Choose wisely! Eat (and drink in this case) how you like, as always.
