You will not believe what we came across…….
It has come to our attention from reading the print on the Starbucks drink, the “Cloud Macchiato ingredient list, contains to our horror seeing as the “cloud powder” itself gets its fluffy texture from egg whites.
Even more alarming is the caramel sauce topping which contains the triple threat of milk, heavy cream, and butter.
It can be said the drink is essentially the same as a regular ole macchiato—or a regular ole soy macchiato, if you take Grande’s hashtagged suggestion to “#trythesoyversion,” which misled many to believe that the drink could be made vegan, which they were under the impression Grande was herself.
Not only were vegan Ari fans upset, but also noticeable number of Starbucks employees, many of whom have been sounding off on Twitter. “You literally cannot make it vegan, the key ingredient in cloud powder is egg whites to make it more like meringue,” one barista tweeted, claiming much more patients than the one who made the all-caps announcement, “IF I HAVE ONE MORE /VEGAN/ CUSTOMER COME TO STARBUCKS AND ASK FOR A CLOUD MACCHIATO MADE WITH SOY EXPECTING IT TO BE VEGAN IM GOING TO SCREAM.”
Please be careful fellow vegans.
