Why does Starbucks hot chocolate taste different every time I get it?

Have you always eaten the same thing before / do you never eat before / chew gum / smoke and so on...
I find any coffee or hot chocolate changes taste depending on whats been in my mouth just before or some time before.

Different items taste different.
Just because I have two bottles of the same brand soda does not mean they will taste exactly the same.

maybe its like a memory thing, you anticipate one flavour and get something completely different and you're like "whoa"
or maybe because they actually keep running out of what they actually use and have to make it up as they go along.

No, it's definitely the same few people spitting in it every time. I only really frequent two locations, and each one only has a couple people.LightspeedJack said:
I'm actually going to have to add in here that out of all my hot chocolate experiences, Starbucks is good, but the hot chocolate milano (I think thats the correct name?!) from Neros is just... *dribble*
It's like drinking liquid chocolate, not just some powdery stuff and a bit of whipped cream. It's like drinking the hot chocolate of the gods... those chocolatey gods.

Well, Of course you aren't alwayse served by the same empoyee, and spit differs from person to person.
It's God's way of saying: Don't go to Starbucks...or maybe it's Karma.
No, but really, it's because they put extra much whole love into it every time to make you feel super special since Starbucks loves every of their customers with every huggy muggy Starbucks© TM SM ® beverage they serve. True story.
Don't go to Starbucks is really all I'm saying here.

Well, the person serving you the hot chocolate probably eats something new every time you order. You know, so he can crap out new tastes. Like, let's say the person who serves you the chocolate is in an X-mas mood that particular day, so he eats a lot of gingerbread cookies before going to the... Erm... Special hot chocolate making room. And voila, this time it tastes like ginger. Next time it's easter , so it tastes like eggs and fish.
Thanks for making me laugh during exam week. You are now, officially, my favorite person.LightspeedJack said:
OP: How do they make the hot chocolate? It's just chocolate powder and hot water, right? Because if they're actually mixing/brewing the stuff, I can imagine the mix being a little different every time.
Also, since you're going to one of two different Starbucks places, I suppose you could just ask someone there.
Ah but you're forgetting extraneous factors: residual compounds from the plastic in the bottle, slight variation in carbonation or syrup levels, slight delay in the sealing process, differing shelf-life.Slavik_91 said:
Should does not mean will.
If that actually happened on noticeable amounts the quality control of the brand would change the factors 'till they wouldn't change the productDeadlyYellow said:
Unless some1 is trying to troll a brand or they got an unlucky bottle from a modified patch that is.
It all depends on what you put in the thing. Speaking as a Starbucks employee (Yes I know, but I need the money), the amount of syrup they put in it alters the taste. We have to put the Chocolate stuff in the cup based on size, then Vanilla in lesser amounts than the Chocolate.
Adding more/less Vanilla, more/less Chocolate, or even using the sugar-free junk, can give it a different taste.

Or that. That's a big factor to what you taste, or so my manager says. They make employees know a bunch of different combinations of foods and drinks that will make the drink taste better, and vice-versa.Suki the Cat said:
