Inspired by the viral face filters on Instagram that are like personality quizzes, Starbucks created its own to match people to different kinds of drinks. The Which Drink? filter, like other augmented reality predictor filters, offers a random result but nonetheless offers a fun way for people to determine their drink order. When using the filter, Instagram users may come up with results like the popular PSL, the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew or Starbucks' Hot Chocolate.
Trying the Starbucks filter is as easy as visiting the company's official Instagram page and navigating to the smiling icon next to the IGTV logo on its profile, which allows users to select "Try It" or save it to their Stories Camera.
