Over the years, various adjectives have been attached to a cup of Starbucks drinks. From refreshing and flavourful to expensive and magical, Starbucks is popular for its variety of flavours and drinks. However, now a new quality of a Starbucks drink is coming to the limelight as pregnant moms-to-be are drinking it to apparently induce labour.
Yes, you read that right. In an agitation to get things moving and leaving, pregnant moms tend to try a multitude of hacks and drinking a Starbucks drink is a new and trending one of them. The allegedly miraculous drink is the Iced passion tango tea or the Passion tango tea lemonade which they hope is going to send them to the hospital to finally give birth.
Lindsey Hull, a 38-week-pregnant woman took to TikTok to share a video of ordering the "labour-inducing drink", writing, "Starbucks Labor Inducing Drink….fingers crossed this ridiculous myth actually works😂 but regardless you have to try this…IT’S SO GOOD. I will be back for this again and again!!!"
Hull also added that she is sure it doesn't actually work but at this point, she is willing to try literally anything.
This trend reminds us of the 2023 trend where pregnant moms were chugging venti passion tea lemonade with four pumps of raspberry syrup and labelling it as the ' Starbucks Pregnancy Drink .' However, for a woman Mika Laidler, the drink did work as 8 hours later she went into labour and gave birth.
Can Starbucks' Iced passion tango tea really induce labour?
While moms might be spending bucks on an Iced passion tango tea to finally meet their child, experts suggest it's a futile effort.
Shannon Smith, M.D., a board-certified ob-gyn told Baby Center that at term everyone has contractions and increased discharge at some point, so it is normal for women to correlate that with drinking the Starbucks drink.
"There's no magic to it" added Rebecca Amaru, M.D. and board-certified ob-gyn.
The ingredients in the iced passion tango tea are water, hibiscus flowers, citric acid, cinnamon, apple, liquorice root, lemongrass, lemon juice, sugar, and fruit juice extracts which are all safe for pregnant women. However, those expecting must be careful with the drink's sugar content and herbs.
According to Healthline, pregnant moms can try light exercise, acupuncture, physical intimacy and eating dates to get the baby moving.
