It’s time for another poll based on the latest episode of The Case For with Chris Cox! (Here is the last one about Park Hopping.)
This week’s episode was about Butterbeer, and included some history of Harry Potter in the Universal parks, as well as the story behind the beverage itself.
I have already done a poll about Butterbeer, but it never hurts to revisit! I will also have a completely different poll to round things out.
What is the best form of Butterbeer? (select up to three)
Cold (i.e., regular)
Frozen
Hot
Ice Cream
Fudge
Potted Cream
Crepe
Other (specify below)

Please vote even if you haven’t tried all the options. Note that the crepe is new since the last poll! I’m sure not many of us have had a chance to try it yet.
Which is the best themed beverage in Orlando?
Butterbeer (WWoHP - any variety)
LeFou’s Brew (Fantasyland)
Blue / Green Milk (SWGE)
Night Blossom (Pandora)
Other (specify below)

I tried to think if there were any others - maybe a Squishy in the Simpsons area? But I figure if there’s something I missed, you can use the “Other” option.
My favorite Butterbeer variety is Frozen by a mile. I recently tried regular again after drinking exclusively frozen for years, and I hated it. Too bitter and it was really hard to get the foam into each swig to sweeten it up. I wish they had given me a straw to stir it.
The soft serve is also amazing. I’m looking forward to trying the crepe. I’m not a huge fan of Hot, and I’m not really interested in trying the fudge or potted cream, tbh.
Here’s my hot take: LeFou’s Brew is better than regular Butterbeer! It is sweet and tasty and has a good consistency. But Frozen Butterbeer beats LeFou’s Brew by a lot.
I like none of ‘em. I don’t like sweet drinks Other for me means: none of the above. I have tried them because my kids love butterbeer and the Flamin’ Moe. Yuck Yuck Yuck to em all. and I have tried the le Fou thing too and feel like it was apple which I hate apple drinks too.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been around these parts but can I just say how delightfully tickled I was to listen to the “Your Verdicts” episode and hear them mention Ryan1, OBNurse, and Jeff_AZ?? I smiled so big on my walk home from seeing a show last night as I listened to the episode.
But I voted other for very similar reasons that @gingerSnaps543222 said. Butterbeer is way too sweet for me. I get the theming and all inside the HP lands inside Uni, but I feel a bit slighted when the only non-sugary drink options are unsweetened tea and water.
LeFou is ok. The nightblossom isn’t bad. I have never tried butterbeer, so can’t comment. However I do have a good friend who loves it. Now the Star Wars milks. The blue one is ok-ish, but not great. The green. Oh lord the green milk. That is an abomination. It reminds me of my grandmother’s cheap perfumes, but in this case you have to drink it.
