Starbucks could be jumping onto the unicorn train with a new drink
Don't know if you've heard, but unicorn things are a thing right now. A huge major thing.
But even if you haven't been paying attention, it turns out Starbucks has. Evidence has surfaced online that Starbucks is planning to release a limited-time drink to their menu called the Unicorn Frappuccino.
And it might be topped with glitter like in this picture.
This discovery comes to us via Reddit, where user hellabummed posted this picture to the Starbucks subreddit.
A conversation ensued in the comments on the post about what the recipe to this supposed unicorn frappuccino might be.
"We just guessed white mocha cream based frapp, mango inside and the new pink powder we got," hellabummed said.
"Recipe cards don't come out until the April 14. You're not supposed to open the powders until the April 17 because of their very short shelf life," Redditor StormtheParade replied.
Pictures of these powders were also posted on Reddit, which only gives us more proof that this unicorn frappuccino may be an actual thing.
If the discussion within these posts on the Starbucks subreddit can be trusted, the unicorn frappuccino will be hitting the menu on April 19. Recipe cards were given to baristas on April 14, and the powders should not be opened until April 17 because they have a short shelf life.
As for what they may taste like, Redditor hellabummed said it "tastes just like those tropical Skittles."
When we reached out to Starbucks for comment, a Starbucks spokesperson told us, "We’re still working our Frappuccino magic and don’t have any details to share at this time."
There's just a few days until April 19, so we'll find out soon if that "magic" has anything to do with blue "unicorn dust."
