Starbucks' Unicorn Crap-puccino

The drink that no caffeine addict would ever resort to

Starbucks' Unicorn Crap-puccino
People Food

The Starbuck's Unicorn Frappuccino (only for sale for a limited time!) has gotten a lot of attention...probably much more attention than it's worth. Is it the colors, the mystery, or the insane amount of sugar in this drink that made people so obsessed with it? It seemed like everyone was posting pictures of their first Unicorn Frappuccino all over social media. For most of them, it was also their last. Smart move.

Supposedly, this is the recipe for the drink:

  • Crème base Frappuccino (that's fair)
  • Mango Syrup (also, can't complain here)
  • Unicorn pink powder (what the heck is "unicorn pink powder?" Umm what is it actually?)
  • Blue White Mocha Drizzle (Why is the white mocha blue? Did someone say too much food coloring?)
  • Whipped Cream (That's fine with me!)
  • Blue and pink unicorn dust (Once, again what is "unicorn dust" actually made of? Also how much food coloring is used in it?)

In one Grande (16oz) Unicorn Frappuccino), there is 410 calories (140 from fat), 10g of saturated fat, 45mg of cholesterol, and 59g of sugar!! That's a lot of bad stuff...but can we focus specifically on how much sugar that is? 59g of sugar...That's more sugar than a 16oz can of Coca-Cola. That's more sugar than a McDonalds Hot Fudge Sundae. That's more sugar than two 8oz servings of Sour Patch Kids (and you can literally see the sugar on Sour Patch Kids, that has to be saying something!)

The Unicorn Frapp was meant for pretty Instagram photos, but let's not drink too much. Most of the Starbucks locations ended up selling out of this blended beverage. The drink is no longer available, sorry folks.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1997
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
