M&S shoppers convinced new drink looks more like 'baked beans in a cup'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Bubble tea has surged in popularity in recent years – so much so that Marks and Spencer is now selling it! The supermarket's cafe outlets are now flogging two flavours of the refreshing drink, which are Strawberry and Mango & Passionfruit.

And inside, you'll find chewy tapioca pearls that make them super satisfying to drink. While many are excited about the new launch, M&S faced some criticism after launching.

One customer, called Kirsty, took to TikTok to complain about the quality of the drink she'd purchased. "Worst £4 I have ever spent," she captioned the post, which has garnered a whopping 377,000 views and thousands of likes at the time of writing. "Do not order the bubble tea from Marks & Spencer." This prompted others to chime in with their criticism too.

One wrote: "It looks like a baked bean drink". And another agreed: "That's water with Heinz beans at the bottom." Others sprang to the defence of Marks and Spencer, though.
