"Starbucks is a chain that is good at engineering sustenance that fits snugly in the “good enough category of food — from egg bites to those butterhorns that are no longer sold but should come back. But how about a bowl? Bowls are trendy so natch’ the Siren had to get a cut of that market. Thus it debuted the chicken quinoa protein bowl two years ago. While admittedly appealing, as some Starbucks employees pointed out on Reddit, it’s essentially just the old Starbucks salad stuffed into a slightly larger, rounder package making it both less efficient and not really a bowl. It would certainly be a decent lunch option in a pinch, though some suggest cutting back on the very salty dressing. Nice try Starbucks, but you can’t trick me into buying this." - Madeleine Davies
