Stop Ordering Unicorn Frappuccinos Or “Secret Menu” Blended Cheesecakes: Starbucks Barista

It’s pink with a streak of blue around it and with whipped cream and unicorn dust on its top. Says a Starbucks spokesperson to Bustle, “If customers want to order a beverage that is not listed on our menu boards, we recommend they know the recipe so that their barista can handcraft the beverage perfectly for them”.

Anyway, we’ll never know how it tastes like, ’cause the insane popular drink that drove Starbucks baristas up the wall for five straight days never came to our shores.

In a blog post on Medium entitled, “Why I’m Not Going to Work Today”, Jaime Bennis, a Boston University student and Starbucks barista, proclaimed that she was staying home to avoid making the drink.

Starbucks has captured the public’s attention with the Unicorn Frappuccino and it should be able to hold onto it with whatever its next stunt drink offer is.

While autumn at Starbucks is defined by the Pumpkin Spice Latte and winter is synonymous with red cups, the coffee giant has previously lacked a definitive “spring” beverage. It quickly became a social-media sensation.

Kathy Lee Gifford expressed her opinion on her morning talk show, trying the Unicorn Frappuccino live on air. At first glance, the sweet treat looked purple, with blue swirls-but when the drink was stirred, it turned pink, and the flavor turned tart.

Kelly O’Leary-Woodford was working at her salon, the Sapphire Hair Lounge, last Wednesday when she heard about the limited-time drink. “Please don’t get it”. The drink, which was recently dubbed “the ideal nexus of awfulness” by chef Anthony Bourdain, has inspired parodies from late-night hosts, DIY recipes, and even hair and nail tutorials that will transform you into a Unicorn Frappuccino yourself.

Drinking one grande size of Unicorn Frappuccino almost tripled the limit of sugar recommended by the American Heart Association.
