The seemingly magical Unicorn Frappuccino hit select Starbucks locations Wednesday, April 19 and is, thankfully, only here to stay until Tuesday, April 25.

I was very intrigued when I saw the remarkable fantasy that is the Unicorn Frappuccino invade Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter. After all the colors looked so bright and beautiful. How could anyone resist?

Turns out everyone should resist. Starbucks managed to somehow combine the sweet taste of coffee with a sour, tart taste to form an awkward unpleasant sensation in the form of a frappuccino topped with whip cream. Not to mention that a grande size alone contains 60 grams of sugar.

Proclaimed to be “sweet and fruity” and “color-changing” on the company’s website, the drink was in reality nothing greater than a mess. Promotion pictures show a fuchsia colored frappe with a striking blue stripe running throughout the drink. When stirred, the frappe is supposed to turn to a brighter pink color with an even sweeter taste.

The Unicorn Frappuccino I received was more lavender, no bright blue stripe to be seen. The “blue fairy powders” that the drink is topped with looked chunky and not the least bit edible. I applaud the creative idea, as a unicorn and fantasy fad seems to be in full swing, but tying it into food was definitely a step over the line.

Starbucks is arguably already pricey enough, and this disappointment of a drink starting at $4.69 for a tall is no exception. The idea itself is cute, but too poorly executed to win over my tastebuds. Thanks but no thanks Starbucks, I will definitely be sticking to my delicious Strawberry & Crème Frappuccino.
