Starbucks files to trademark the name 'Fizzio' for its new line of carbonated drinks

Starbucks says in a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that the name Fizzio would be for its beverage-making machines, as well as a variety of drinks.

Starbucks has been testing sodas -- Lemon Ale, Original Ginger Ale and Spiced Root Beer.-- in Atlanta and Austin.

"So far the response from customers in the test markets has been positive," says a spokesperson for the coffee chain.

So does this mean that baristas will now also be "soda jerks"?

I know some that live up to the literal interpretation there.

am sure the drinks are fine, but somehow have the feeling that fizzio isn't going to last that long. Sounds like something that will be infamously discontinued.

I imagine they will also try to sell home Fizzio machines and syrups in order to compete with SodaStream.

Customizable soda ? Gold mine. I can hear it now... "Trenta Spiced Root Beer with extra syrup, 5 pumps of vanilla, and 12 splenda."

Makes me glad I got out when I did.

[Andrew]

Tried them while in Austin. From a customer perspective, I can't wait. From a partner perspective? I am dreading it.

the spiced root beer is delicious. I can't wait for them to be available in more markets.
