Starbucks unicorn frappuccinos to grace Earth for a limited time
Usually rumors are just rumors, but this time they have proven true.
Starbucks has confirmed that the Unicorn Frappuccino is making its way to the chain's menu from April 19-23 in U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
In the press release, Starbucks explains that the drink is made "with a sweet dusting of pink powder blended into a crème Frappuccino with mango syrup, and layered with a pleasantly sour blue powder topping."

Starbucks promises that the drink will have the opposite effect of a Sour Patch Kid. First it will be "sweet and fruity," but stirring the drink will change the flavor to "tangy and tart."
The announcement is exciting, but it probably would have had more of an impact if Starbucks baristas everywhere hadn't spoiled the announcement by posting about the Unicorn Frappuccino early on social media.
The rumors first started last week when baristas posted pictures of the pink and blue powders to Reddit and speculated on what they were. Since then, baristas have started making the drink and posting their results online, as well as otherwise taking over the job of Starbucks PR.
