Unicorn Frappuccino: The New Loved and Hated Drink
People Food

I know you've seen it... The pink and blue cotton candy looking drink flooding the internet one Instagram post at a time. Starbucks officially released their new "Unicorn Frappuccino" on April 19th. It is only available for a few days, as the fantasy drink officially leaves Starbucks locations on April 23rd. The drink, that contains no coffee at all, is said to have a mango and SweetTarts taste. But, as much as people love the drink, many people have also turned to the internet to show their disgust towards the coffee chain's new concoction.

First off, many people hate the taste of the new frappuccino. Customers find it very disappointing or just an overall unpleasant tasting drink. Not to mention that this drink is full of sugar, 72 grams to be exact.

Starbucks baristas also hate this new creation. Since this drink is more complex to make than your other average coffee drinks, you can see why baristas might let out a sigh when they get 13 orders of Unicorn fraps in a row. One barista even made a video of what seem to be a compilation of snapchat videos expressing his hate for the drink and telling people not to order it. You can even scroll through the Starbuck Reddit to see the tales of woe from baristas all over expressing their feelings about the new frappuccino.

As a Starbucks lover, I too tried to get the new, mystical drink. But, like many stores all over the country, they were already all sold out. So many people came in to get them that they didn't have any supplies left to keep the drink around until Sunday. However, I don't think the workers were too disappointed by that fact.

Pictures, tweets, and Snapchats still fill the internet regarding the Unicorn Frappuccino. The drink does looks aesthetically pleasing and has a nice look to add to you social media feed. It fits the "artsy" factor that most people look for when choosing photos to post online. Even my own university used the drink in a photo.

I guess I'll never know what this magic drink tastes like, but if this drink sparked up this much popularity, Starbuck might bring it back around. It definitely has increased Starbucks' popularity and internet users are basically giving them free advertising by posting about it. Pictures of the Unicorn Frappuccino are everywhere. But, maybe this drink will remain rare just like a unicorn. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
