Starbucks, Stop With The Goofy Drinks

This is a complaint.

Starbucks, Stop With The Goofy Drinks
Refinery29

Lately it seems like Starbucks is trying to come out with a new Frappuccino every week. First it was the unicorn Frappuccino; then it was the mermaid Frappuccino, and now it's the midnight mint mocha. What's next? A green monster goo Frappuccino?

Don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks as much as the next person. I get excited every time I get a Starbucks gift card as a gift because that means I get to treat myself. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I love their Frappuccino because some don't have any coffee in them, while the ones with coffee have so much other sweet stuff in them that I can't even taste the coffee, but I still get that caffeine boost. So don't take this as me shaming Starbucks because I'm addicted just like the rest of you. I just don't agree with their recent decisions to come out with bizarre flavored Frappuccino.

Are they trying to one up the combinations created on the unofficial Starbucks secret menu? I can see why they'd want to that since every time I show a Starbucks barista a photo of a recipe I found online and they roll their eyes at me because of how difficult these drinks are to make. I know they hate it when I ask for something that's not specifically on the menu, but then they shouldn't offer so many different add-ons that give people the opportunity to come up with these crazy combinations.

All I'm asking is for Starbucks to stick to what they're good at, which isn't coming up with goofy drink combinations. Stick to making your high quality coffee and the delicious Frappuccinos that've been on your menu all along. Let the customers come up with the drink combinations, and hey if they're in high demand then add them to their menu. Listen to what the customers want, instead of trying to come up with your own weird drink concoction.

Please and thank you, a loyal Starbucks customer

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
