According to food news accounts and early test sightings, the chain is reportedly working on a new \u201cSprite Berry Blast\u201d drink, and people online already have a lot to say.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The drink, which has allegedly been spotted at select test locations, appears to be a mix of Sprite, blue raspberry flavor, and a cold foam topping. Think of it less like a standard fountain soda and more like something you\u2019d expect from a Swig drive-thru. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Nothing has been officially confirmed by McDonald\u2019s yet, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the internet from running with it.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On Instagram, reactions are split between excitement, confusion, and immediate comparisons to past McDonald\u2019s drink experiments. One user commented, \u201cSuper ready for this one \ud83e\udd29,\u201d while another kept it simple with, \u201cWoah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Others are already questioning whether the drink is actually new. \u201cIt&#8217;s literally just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/ca\/en-ca\/product\/nite-sprite-medium.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/ca\/en-ca\/product\/nite-sprite-medium.html\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Nite Sprite\" data-node-id=\"8.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">Nite Sprite<\/a> from the Drake meal,\u201d one commenter wrote, referencing the fan-favorite blue-toned Sprite variation that circulated during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DU4VNsdkY9c\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DU4VNsdkY9c\/?hl=en\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Drake collab era\" data-node-id=\"8.3\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">Drake collab era<\/a>. Another added, \u201cLooks like the Nite Sprite we had in Canada, was delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">While not the same as Nite Sprite, we&#8217;ve actually seen this soda in the wild before. The Sprite Berry Blast was previously on the menu at CosMc&#8217;s, the now-defunct beverage chain operated by McDonald&#8217;s. Fans who were missing their favorite CosMc&#8217;s drinks are now in luck, because it looks like the Sprite Berry Blast may make a return.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"tiktok\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-20\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Still, not everyone is convinced this is worth the hype. One commenter bluntly called it \u201cLiquid Smurf,\u201d suggesting the drink might lean more toward novelty than necessity.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Soda\/comments\/1n3iq17\/sprite_berry_blast_from_mcdonalds_test_location\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Soda\/comments\/1n3iq17\/sprite_berry_blast_from_mcdonalds_test_location\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Reddit\" data-node-id=\"12.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">Reddit<\/a>, where early testers claim to have actually tried the drink, the reviews are a little more grounded. One user described it as \u201clike a blue raspberry Sprite,\u201d and noted that the cold foam gives it a more \u201chandcrafted\u201d feel than a typical soda.   <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">At this point, it\u2019s still unclear whether Sprite Berry Blast will roll out nationwide or remain a limited test item. But if this one does make it out of the test phase, it\u2019s safe to say the reactions are already locked in. Whether people think it\u2019s an inferior dupe of Nite Sprite or are already rejoicing the CosMc&#8217;s revival, they&#8217;re clearly paying attention.<br data-node-id=\"13.1\"\/><\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-21\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read McDonald\u2019s is rumored to be testing a Sprite Berry Blast drink with blue raspberry flavor and cold foam.
