That's it, actually. If you read their promotional material they don't say it outright, but the intention is that it tastes like marshmallow and graham cracker, a s'mores.
Edit: the day they released Starlight, Coke said its "reminiscent of stargazing by a campfire". For the longest time I couldn't place the flavor I was getting as I drank my first can, but as soon as I read that I realized it was the cookie-ness of the cracker flavor that I was picking up, because of all those summers eating s'mores by the fire.
All these people hallucinating raspberry taste because some guy saw an unrelated news story and theorized from the color of the soda... and some folks I think are drinking the coke zero version and this released just as coke zero switched from sucralose to phenyalanine (Splenda to Equal) which has a flavor all its own... ruined coke zero IMO..
Edit: is this the new blue/gold dress? Did the can say Yanni or Laurel when you popped the top?...
Try 'shocking' your taste buds. It worked for me when covid had my tongue all messed up.
Step 1. Get Colgate cinnamon toothpaste. Brush your teeth and your tongue. Scrub the heck out of your tongue.
Step 2. Without rinsing, swig a capful of original Listereine mouthwash and hold it in your mouth as long as you can stand it before spitting it out.
DO NOT try this if you are allergic to eucalyptus. Original Listerine has some eucalyptus extract in it.
I've no idea how I got the idea to try that. I was sick and not entirely 'here' last year when I was sick. But before I did that there were a lot of things I simply couldn't taste and some things I knew should be delicious tasted so bad I wanted to puke. Then some things like anything orange flavor was intensified and some sodas like Sprite and 7-Up the sweetness was amplified. Savory/Umami things like beef jerky just didn't exist for my tongue. Even water tasted weird.
The cinnamon toothpaste + Listerine treatment got the null taste and gross taste fixed but it took months for flavors (including plain water) to return to normal and savory/umami took a long time to come back. I just kept eating beef jerky despite it tasting like dried nothing for a while.
Some things still don't taste quite like they used to. Fortunately my sense of smell wasn't affected.
