There’s ALWAYS that one person in our group who tries something gross and then makes all of their companions try it! We all know that person: they take a bite or a sip, their face cringes, and then they pass it around to everyone in their group so THEY can suffer, too.

Let’s look back on a few snacks in Disney World that could totally gross people out (and some that have DEFINITELY grossed US out in the past), but also inspire them to take another bite or sip.

Blue and Green Milk

Blue and Green Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are two of the most polarizing new snacks we’ve tried in a LONG time. These are frozen beverages served at The Milk Stand, and are made with a soft-frozen blend of rice and coconut milks.

Some folks are weirded out by the rice and coconut milks (which makes them fully non-dairy!), especially since they’re mixed with fruit flavors. Blue Milk is a mixture of dragon fruit, pineapple, lime, and watermelon. Green Milk is made with mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit, and orange blossom. If you’re not a fan of milk alternatives and the more watery flavor they tend to have compared to real dairy, you might have to brace yourself before taking a sip.

Ok, so cards on the table — they LOOK awesome. If you’ve never tried it, it’s honestly worth it to get them just for a fun photoshoot! The colors are dead on to the films and we were giddy when we first spotted them. Then we tasted them. It’s not that they taste BAD, they just taste UNIQUE. The flavors aren’t actually very strong and it’s not very sweet (compared to most frozen Disney drinks!). To most of us they just kind of tasted…flat. The lack of creamy mouthfeel your brain expects when seeing them combined with the MANY flavors in each result in both too much and too little happening at the same time.

The menu at The Milk Stand in Disney World has grown in the months since it opened, including adding breakfast food items before the closures, but the Blue and Green Milk remain! You can also get them spiked! The alcohol typically cuts out some of the sweetness, so if you’re concerned about the drinks tasting too sweet, consider trying the adult version.

You can also layer the two flavors to create your very own Blue and Green Milk “parfait.“ 

This is a hack, meaning you’ll need to order one of each, and then ask for an extra cup to mix the flavors in (sorry, they won’t mix them for you!).

What we’ve seen since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019, is that folks either love Blue and Green Milk, or they despise them! We have yet to meet someone who is a ride-or-die Star Wars milk fan, but we’re sure you guys are out there! We totally get it — the concept of knocking back the same milks as awesome Luke Skywalker is just so fascinating, people seem compelled to try it at least once! Give it a go and see what you think!

Beverly

Ever been to Club Cool in EPCOT? We are often found ducking out of the intense Florida heat for a quick ten-minute break in the air conditioning, while sampling free sodas from around the world! While most are sweet and fruity, one drink grew to be a well-known practical joke for unknowing friends and family. 

Of course, we’re talking about Beverly. This extremely bitter beverage comes from Italy, and was intended to be consumed as an apéritif, which is a fancy word for a drink that is intended to be consumed before eating a meal to “stimulate the appetite.” Traditionally, apéritifs were made with alcohol to help them go down easier due to their strong bitter taste. You might be more familiar with other bitters like Campari or Aperol. These have very much the same flavor profile but are made with alcohol and sipped before a meal in some cultures.

Coke tried to mass-produce a non-alcoholic version, called Beverly, on the Italian market. Spoiler alert — it wasn’t a hit. Consumers were perfectly happy with the alcoholic versions they already had! Essentially, it’s not SUPPOSED to be consumed as any old drink when you’re thirsty or craving soda. That sure didn’t stop us from knocking back more than a few in EPCOT  for a good laugh! In fact, Club Cool was one of the few places you could actually still GET Beverly. You won’t find it in your grocery store or Amazon. It’s available to sample in VERY few locations around the country and the most well-known was Disney World!

Club Cool closed their doors in 2019 for a refurbishment, but reopened in September 2021 with Beverly still on tap!

Salt & Straw

Before you freak out — we’re not including ALL of Salt & Straw’s flavors. Only their…wilder…flavors. While their menu rotates, you’re almost always able to find super unique flavors, like Deviled Eggs and Fried Chicken!

Or fungus. Seriously — the Salt & Straw over in Downtown Disney had a MUSHROOM flavor, so we’re expecting more flavors like this to appear in Disney Springs.

Needless to say, many find themselves hesitating to try these interesting flavors. So if you’re feeling wild, head over to Disney Springs, grab a unique flavor, and make someone else try it with you! We feel like we’ve got to admit here that we have actually enjoyed a lot of these wild flavors! Somehow this spot makes deviled egg ice cream taste…delicious? They must have a lot of pixie dust back there!

Happabore Sampler

Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can find the Happabore Sampler at Oga’s Cantina. For starters, the look of this Charcuterie Board is off-putting to some. It’s just like…a chaotic mess of random foods. You’ve got spam, deconstructed string cheese, and more.

It’s just…a lot. There’s so much good food in Disney World, so we refuse to give this one a pass. But if you really want to try some odd-looking “space” food, this is a good option!

Disney tries its best to deliver top-notch snacks that are unique and memorable. Buuuut, sometimes they turn out unique and memorable for all of the WRONG reasons. When that happens, we’re tempted to make sure EVERYONE around us gives those snacks a try. Whether it’s a hit or a total miss, Disney World dining can create some truly special memories that will last a lifetime!
