This week, Starbucks unveiled a limited edition Frappuccino which I can only describe as if a background to an 80's music video were a drink. The Unicorn Frappucino is what happens when you combine so many unnecessary flavors into one disgusting drink.
According to Starbucks' website, the Unicorn Frappuccino is this- "The flavor-changing, color-changing, totally not-made-up Unicorn Frappuccino. Magical flavors start off sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour. Swirl it to reveal a color-changing spectacle of purple and pink. It's finished with whipped cream-sprinkled pink and blue fairy powders."
Ok, first of all, drinks should NEVER CHANGE COLORS OR FLAVORS WHEN YOU DRINK IT. Unless you want a version of an everlasting gobstopper in drink form, then it is totally unwarranted for any drink to "magically" transform flavors. That is like if you order an iced mocha from Starbucks and having it transform into a caramel swirl iced coffee from Dunkin'- you only ordered one flavor and expect it to stay that flavor!
Secondly, have you checked the nutrition facts on this monstrosity? The carbohydrates are through the roof! And did you see how much sugar is in this? If you are expecting this to be a healthier alternative to soda (if that's the case, did you even see a picture of this product?) than you are dead wrong.
Also, before ordering this drink, have you ever thought about how the baristas feel about this drink? Baristas are even having meltdowns for making too many of these disgusting frappuccinos a day! And it's totally understandable--how are you expected to make an Instagram-worthy drink efficiently and correctly when under pressure?
In conclusion to my rant, do not order this drink. Ever. Even though it's available for a limited time, still don't order it. Unless you're an aspiring death eater, then in that case go for it!
