Nearly seven in 10 Americans prefer straws over forks when it comes to dessert, new research suggests.

In a poll of 2,000 adults, 69% said they’re likely to order drinkable desserts rather than ones meant to be eaten. 

On average, respondents started ordering dessert drinks around the age of 22. But 14% did so during adolescence (age 15 or younger).

While one respondent simply wants “an easier way to enjoy dessert,” 44% will reach for a dessert drink specifically to satisfy their sweet tooth. 

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of TIGER SUGAR, the poll revealed that 76% of respondents claim to have a sweet tooth.  

Four in five millennials have a fondness for sweets, more so than any other generation.

In fact, 88% of millennials like to eat dessert after every meal, compared to only 38% of baby boomers.

When asked which foods they’d categorize as desserts, respondents cited a variety of both edible and drinkable options. Forty-four percent of respondents chose ice cream and 35% chose custard.

But 34% believe milkshakes to be dessert and 26% even categorize bubble tea as such.

The most popular non-alcoholic drinks were coffee (65%) and water (64%), but dessert drinks like milkshakes (58%) and bubble tea (54%) didn’t fall far behind. 

When it comes to flavors, respondents were most likely to prefer traditional dessert flavors, like chocolate and vanilla, compared to fruity ones (29% vs 18%).

Even so, 80% are likely to add sugar to their drink and another 65% are likely to add a shot of flavor. 

“By bridging the gap between traditional boba tea with bold, modern tastes, people are finding their new favorite drink,” said Shirley Yeung, a spokesperson for Tiger Sugar. “No matter what their flavor of choice is, people are adding a little sugar and a little sweetness to their lives.”

More than three-quarters (78%) of respondents have noticed an increase in the popularity of dessert drinks.

For example, bubble tea gained more attention (28%) than other consumable trends mentioned in the survey, like poke bowls (24%) or matcha (25%). And when it comes to trying a new trend, respondents said they'd do so because they like to try new things (39%) and if it were recommended by family or friends (35%).

Forty-eight percent have stood in a line for over an hour to try a trendy food or drink. 

In fact, almost seven in 10 (68%) admitted they’ve tried a dessert drink to feel “on trend.”

“While drinks like bubble tea have a longer history in Asia and Eastern countries, the U.S. has seen a recent surge in popularity,” said Yeung. “And while people may try a dessert drink to feel ‘on trend’, they may just find their new favorite.”
