As Halloween approaches, Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:SBUX) has introduced two new beverages inspired by the upcoming movie “Wicked.” This comes at a time when the company reported weak preliminary results.

What Happened: Starbucks has launched two limited-time Halloween-themed drinks, drawing inspiration from the film “Wicked,” according to Today.com on Monday. The drinks are crafted to reflect the personalities of the movie’s main characters, Glinda and Elphaba.
