Recently Starbucks released their Unicorn Frappuccino. Starbucks reports that not only is it flavor changing, it is color changing. Starbuck's website describes the pretty beverage as "magical flavors starting off sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour" they instruct consumers to swirl it to reveal a color-changing spectacle of purple and pink and explicate how its finished with "whipped cream-sprinkled pink and blue fairy powders".
Even though this magical delicacy is easy on the eyes it's terribly horrible on the thighs. The Unicorn Frappucino has been described as being the equivalency of three Snickers candy bars and mulitiple posts made on social media have described the frappucino as "nasty". NPR.org states "If ever a drink were concocted to quench the thirst of social media, this may be it," and I could not agree more. Before I looked anywhere else a glimpse of Twitter had released the images and reviews of Starbuck's start-studded player, and shortly after a slew of online news stories came in on it. With its whimsical name, bright pink and blue swirl topped with a pillow of whipped cream and a pixie dusting of sprinkles, Starbucks' new Unicorn Frappuccino practically pleads to be posted.
