Probably not a PooPoo smoothie though, right? Well, that’s the name of Burger King China’s latest cold drink, Kotaku [reports](http://kotaku.com/poo-poo-smoothie-sounds-disgusting-is-delicious-1562904649). But don’t let the name deceive you. Apparently, the PooPoo smoothie is quite delicious. Its Chinese name is something that roughly translates to “mango ice smoothie with blow up pearls cold beverage” which is a much more accurate description than “PooPoo.” > [](https://twitter.com/FatAsianTechie/status/455654099304714240) According to Kotaku: --- > “” --- That sounds delightful, doesn’t it? But like, naming it the PooPoo smoothie will clearly affect sales in a very negative way. Maybe Burger King’s marketing team should have thought this one through a bit further. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/61606/burger-king-china-poopoo-smoothie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/61606/burger-king-china-poopoo-smoothie/"},"headline":"Burger King China Is Selling a Beverage Called the PooPoo Smoothie","datePublished":"2014-04-14T14:42:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:45.958Z","description":"But don't let the name deceive you.
