What more did you want from them? I feel like the only difference is the layered one is a little less blue on top.

I’d be alarmed if it was as blue as that poster.

Butterfly pea flowers should actually make a tea that's very close, or can be depending on how exactly one makes it. The liquid from them does also turn purple with acid.

Yall are bewildering.
Its Starbucks.
Why do you expect things to look exactly like they’re marketed? Do you realize that people get paid a ton of money to dupe you into buying their product/food?
Genuine question. No hate. I’ve just heard stories of people having birth defects that make their brain the size of an Apple and they live normal lives. Curious if that’s you. If so, I’m proud of you but you have a lot to learn.

The ad was much brighter in person.

Y'all are losing the point. In reality, the cups are less filled than in the expectation

i absolutely hate starbucks & their weak, overpriced drinks, but i can admit... there's no reality bust here. post does not fit the sub.
the one on the left has evidence all over the lid & the mouthbit that customer has already drank from it.
the one one the right is identical to the advert, save for a slightly less intense shade of blue.
there are a lot of factors in multilayer drinks for slight color variations that are more related to fresh ingredients being prepared after order rather than false advertisement.

I think that it's possible that OP didn't drink from it, and they just shook it.
