I doubt even a little kid would want a “surprise drink” themed around characters they likely aren't familiar with.

…and all of this isn't even mentioning the logistical problems with a randomized drink, would they have to include the nutrition facts for each individual flavor on the bottle? How would consumers even know what flavor they got? What if there was a recall for an ingredient only used in one flavor?

1. I have 2 words: BLUE and DYE.

2. Agreed it shouldn’t be surprise drink it should be sold in cases with separate flavor cases or assorted cases , and it should be sold only on the scratch merchandise website (at least when they release it) so kids know what the characters are

3. First part of above

To be honest I do not really think this may sell well since scratch is a nonprofit company. With the fact this can bring better donations and can help them with the bucks. Although this does seem like a good idea. There is a catch

A drink needs to be made in factories, which cost a lot of money, and a factory needs workers (even if a lot is automated), which cost money in wages. It has way too many expenditures that I don't see a lot of people buying (I don't see people buying these drinks at all - if its online than children probably won't have money stored online, and if it is retail than Scratch isn't global enough for that) thus I don't think it will make a profit, so I don't think it is something the Scratch Team should invest in.

This is what kind of changed my mind for a moment. Most of the time a singular drink like lemonade is hard but can be made homemade. But with muliple flavors this can be a lot harder and would need to be used with many people with different flavors. Also the costs of the wages would be more than the donations of the drinks. Which is not really what Scratch team wants. So what they have to sell is good enough. They even might have water bottles already so that you can even make your own drinks to store in!

You all can stop stating your opinions on which drink would be better, that’s YOUR opinion, it would not be “better” it would be better for YOU.

I agree with this post about the drinks.
So without no bias on what drink I want, no support. I don't know why a drink stand will be best for scratch. Scratch is known for coding, not this.

This is a pretty cool idea, but uh
how exactly do you get the drinks to the people who buy them?
other than that I think everything there is to say has already been said, it’s a cool idea and is definitely something to consider, but I’m not exactly sure mailing drinks is a very good method of transport.

Scratch:
JUICE, SODA, WATER

What kind of flavor is tropical?

Because putting these in store shelves is not very profitable and very expensive, and putting these on the Scratch Store may lead to a Pink Sauce incident (where the bottles weren't refrigerated and stored right), maybe these could be served at events like the next Scratch Day (if it is going to be a real life convention)

Also idk what do you mean by “surprise drinks”, just have 6 base flavors with no changes for each cup served.

Double also, change Scratch Cat Tropical back to Mango, mango is one of the top 5 best fruits, you cannot change my mind you just can't, all of the tropical world agrees (or should i say mango world)

According to a quick Google search, it's a mix of mango, pineapple, apple, and/or orange.

But they'll only sell if they taste good, which to find out and make, isn't very cheap

I took the stats given from Coca Cola.

Coca Cola has existed for many years and developed their recipes and the technology they use to make their drinks for years. Although, of course, it’d be a little faster than 50 years ago, it’s going to be cheaper for a giant corporation to make drinks than a normal organisation.

Anyways, selling drinks online isn’t easy as they’re (somewhat) perishable foods with many regulations around them, and I can’t think of many stores that would sell these.

Chef Pi was just a garbage ‘chef’ with no experience in storing food. Hopefully Scratch can do better than TikTok Chef.

No, soda’s, and likely other drinks, are really cheap to produce.

I don't know why you assume that the Scratch Team wouldn't ensure that these drinks are stored safely. All logistics aside, if the Scratch Team wanted to implement this, I fully trust that they'd be able to figure out a way to not be negligent in making sure that the drinks are safe to consume.

Yeah you're right, but I still think that these drinks should be served at events and maybe at the online store if they figure out refrigeration

Also Pink Sauce was the only way I could think of to get mentioned

bump

i killed the chat lmao

Me when economies of scale

Not me taking AP micoreconomics

I'm sure these drinks would taste amazing, but it would be really difficult for Scratch to market and sell these drinks, considering they are basically known as a kids programming language.

sorry
no sopport because why would a progamifg language need DRINKS!????!?!!

comedy has died. misspelling words was never funny anyway
also the OP is maybe possibly hypothetically under 10 years old, it isn't even a bad idea, why respond like that???
Also my reply again:

Pros:
Kids like juice, kids are the target audience
It can raise money and promote scratch
Juice isn’t that hard to make
Maybe more
Cons:
Storage would be an issue
If anything goes wrong at all, that could be a lawsuit, which is expensive
A lot of juice is time consuming
They would need to meet all the regulations and requirements to make it, which would be hard and maybe expensive
Employees cost money to keep, and to make enough juice, they would need employees
It might cost a lot of money to start, but they could get people to donate more

I like the idea, but it would be hard to make happen and anything could go wrong

This suggestion confuses me.
