TODAY’S JUNK FOOD: Mariah Carey’s Butterfly Drink!
Yes, that’s right. I said Mariah Carey’s Butterfly drink. She has a drink. I’m sure this won’t go horribly wrong.
I first spotted Mariah Carey’s Butterfly drink on The Impulsive Buy, and instantly knew I had to try this ridiculousness. Let me say this: this blog post is not about Mariah Carey. I think Mariah Carey is uber talented. One of the greatest diva singers of our time. And her Heartbreaker video is one of the hottest music videos I’ve ever seen.
Anyways, I say this to admit that when it comes to Mariah Carey, I am a fan. I don’t have her Greatest Hits downloaded or anything, but I’m not hating on HER.
But when it comes to a “melodic beverage inspired by the magic of Mariah Carey”…well, here we go:

Mariah Carey’s Butterfly was purchased at Walgreens. The cashier definitely gave me the raised eyebrow when I bought this. Well, don’t sell it in the store if you’re gonna make me feel like a creep for buying it, jerk! Keep your judgment as I buy this Mariah Carey drink and eight boxes of Oreo cookies. KEEP IT.

“A melodic beverage inspired by the magic of Mariah Carey.” Somebody at some branding firm actually wrote this copy. They did. They proofed it. They chose the simple font. The drink is CALLED “Butterfly”? Ridiculous.

This I similarly did not understand. I already don’t ever use QR codes…and this looks NOTHING like a QR code. Is there a chip or something embedded unseen in the ink? Plus, why is it spelled N’Syde? I get that it corresponds to the brand…but did someone choose to spell it this way? Was it Lou Perlman?

*shudder* These ingredients are not inspiring. Sodium benzoate is not the magic of Mariah.

See? Somebody wrote THIS copy too on this bottle of Mariah Carey’s Butterfly. Pamper myself with a sip? This stuff better be good.

I screwed the top off of this Mariah Carey’s Butterfly, and sniffed and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that stuff is pungent. It smelled like gummy bears, flowers, and Fresca. Oh no. I fear this will be like drinking a bottle of perfume. Like, the perfume a teenage girl might wear. I’m actually afraid.

I took a drink of the slightly pink Mariah Carey’s Butterfly drink, and ….and…holy hell, this has to be one of the worst/scariest things I’ve ever consumed. I’m sorry, Mariah. Your voice is lovely. But this drink is not. My face twisted up and I grimaced audibly after gulping a mouthful of this drink.

It tasted, literally, like liquid sugar-free gummy bears. No joke. The general gummy bear flavor, I believe, is spot on. I say sugar-free because I got that weird blend of sugar and sucralose flavor – you know, the kind when you drink sugar-free drinks. Which I don’t like. At times I also caught weird floral notes – borderline soapy.
The Junk Good Gal took a sip and thought it tasted like liquid bubblegum. Either way, this was horrible. I imagine this is what polyjuice potion tastes like. Would not buy again. Ever.
PURCHASED AT: Walgreens
COST: $1.99
