Just when you thought you shoved enough Starbucks down your throat, the company introduces a limited edition flavor for you to love and watch disappear.
To celebrate the frappuccino's 20th anniversary, Starbucks is rolling out a "Birthday Cake Frappuccino" for just five days of caffeinated-goodness, because everything you love in life will one day disappear.

The icy drink will be available from March 26 through March 30, and consists of a "creamy blend of vanilla bean and hazelnut, topped with a special raspberry-infused whip cream," according to a representative from the company.
Although Starbucks started testing iced coffee beverages in 1993 in Santa Monica, California, it wasn't until 1995 when it officially launched the frappuccino, which was available in coffee and mocha in 550 stores across the United States and Canada. The company acquired The Coffee Connection in Boston in 1994, inheriting their product, the so-called frappuccino. Starbucks then took the name, and attached it to the products being tested in California.
