The Starbucks Medicine Ball is officially called Honey Citrus Mint Tea. The Internet calls it a Medicine Ball, but Starbucks doesn’t, and Marlo Greer thinks she knows why: some lawyer probably warned the company not to use a name that suggests it’s medicine.
What’s a Medicine Ball? If you’re talking about a popular drink you can order at Starbucks, it is a hot tea made from Jade Citrus Mint tea, Peach Tranquility tea, Steamed Lemonade, hot water, and honey. While the Internet knows this as a Medicine Ball, you won’t see Starbucks calling it that, and when you go into Starbucks to order one, you might even have to use its official name: Honey Citrus Mint Tea.
The Product-Naming Question
Why? Marlo Greer blames the lawyers. In her TikTok rant about the Medicine Ball, she assumes that some lawyer somewhere told the executives at Starbucks that, despite the fact that the Internet calls this a Medicine Ball, and customers come in asking for a Medicine Ball, and baristas may even know how to make a Medicine Ball, Starbucks can’t afford to use that name… because it’s not really medicine.
(Fun fact: A Medicine Ball is the BEST Starbucks drink when you’re sick. Just ask Marlo.)
