7.If ever a drink were invented to satisfy the thirst of social media,this may be it.With its fantastic name,bright pink and blue twist topped with a pillow of whipped cream,Starbucks'new Unicom Frappuccino(独角兽星冰乐) practically asks to be posted on social media.
And a glimpse at Twitter shows Unicom Frappuccino is indeed gaining attention.
So what's in it?As Starbucks describes it:"A sweet dusting of pink powder,mixed into a Frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a pleasantly sour blue drizzle.It is finished with vanilla whipped cream and a sprinkle of sweet pink and sour blue powder topping."
A look at the ingredients reveals a list less fantastic.The pink powder is actually sugar and"Fruit and Vegetable Color."
Starbucks advertises the drink",as rare as a unicorn."But unicorn food is actually a thing.The BBC reports,it's fashionable to post pictures of rainbow colored food which reminds of the fairy tale creature.
Rainbow sushi,anyone?
As for the Unicorn Frappuccino,Lori Aquino said the drink caught her eye on social media.Then people at work were talking about it."I saw it was coming out today,so I decided to try it,"Aquino said at a Washington D.C.Starbucks."I'll probably put it on Snapchat or Instagram."
She bought one to share with her two coworkers.
And the opinion?
"It's kind of nasty,"Aquino said.
Letitia Winston agreed:"Nope.That will not be something I come looking for."
But Moriam Animashaun was more forgiving."It's not bad,"she said,"It's just really sweet."
A 16-ounce medium,or a grande in Starbucks speak,comes in at 410calories,59grams of sugar and 16grams of fat.
One thing the women agreed on was the drink's appearance."It's pretty,"said Animashaun.
"It looks nice,"agreed Winston.
And in the age of likes,snaps and tweets,the fantasy image may be all that matters.
