Starbucks launches TOXIC Unicorn Frappuccino in effort to stay relevant

‘A potentially toxic craze is spreading like wildfire across the internet, and in an attempt to stay relevant, Starbucks has jumped on the bandwagon. So-called “unicorn food,” which is trending across social media, is any food item that has been made super colorful by the addition of food dye, marshmallows or naturally colorful items like pieces of fruit. Some people even go so far as to add little sculpted sugar manes, horns and tails to their creations. Starbucks’ contribution to the craze was a special edition drink they called the “Unicorn Frappuccino,” which was available in the U.S., Canada and Mexico for five days, starting April 19.
Starbucks described its drink as “a sweet dusting of pink powder, blended into a creme Frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a pleasantly sour blue drizzle.
