Kirkland Signature Products That Were A Total Flop
BY Luna Christina Lupus
Light Beer
Kirkland Signature Light Beer is one of the biggest flops Costco has ever seen. Customers hated it and have declared it the worst beer in the world.
Despite its low cost of $22.99 for a 48-pack, it drew countless scathing customer reviews. The Takeout reported the beer was discontinued in 2018.
Frozen Cocktails
One of the main selling points of Kirkland Signature Frozen Cocktails was the lack of artificial sweeteners. However, many noticed that this wasn’t true.
The list of ingredients mostly consisted of artificial flavoring and food coloring. Four years after its initial release, the product disappeared from shelves in 2023.
Mango Smoothie
Released in June 2023, the Kirkland Signature Mango Smoothie saw a rapid rise and fall of just three months, being taken off the menu by August.
According to customers, the $3 drink completely failed the taste test. When drinking it, several customers felt it tasted more like dried, aged mangoes rather than fresh ones.
