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.

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?

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?
