Prologue
This is a video made by "Inside Edition" talking about The Unicorn Frappuccino, no it's not being made anymore and you know what? Good riddance, because the concept of the product just sounds absolutely stupid. I don't care for it and I never will, yes I'm a female, but like most females this is just stupid to me.
However for the sake of me talking about my response to both this video and The Unicorn Frappuccino as whole I'll refer to this incident as either "The Unicorn Frappuccino Fad" or "Unicorn Frappuccino Fad".
Before I begin, here's something I would like to say for those who I will refer to as "Closed Minded Workers", just because it's the Starbucks Barista's job to make the products and serve the costumers with said products doesn't mean that burn out doesn't exist. It does, so with that said I don't want to see ANY comments saying, "BUT IT'S THEIR JOB!!!" or something similar to that.
That's not the point of my argument, the point of my argument are two things; one is why companies like Starbucks should actually THINK stuff through before either accepting or denying an idea of a product and two is why Inside Edition should've take this more seriously.
Anyways, let's begin!

Part I: The Unicorn Frappuccino
The video starts with a overwhelmed barista (who I will call "Sam" for the sake of privacy, the video says his real name, however just because The Unicorn Frappuccino Fad is over dosen't mean that closed minded people will still bash the barista for "overreacting") telling people about the struggles he's having to deal with and also telling them to stop buying The Unicorn Frappuccinos who.
The video continues showing footage of other Starbucks employees while commenting that they're also getting sick, overwhelmed, and tired of making these Unicorn Frappuccinos which was getting to a point where they were having to sell these stupid drinks via crates, not to mention that making these Unicorn Frappuccinos takes a lot a time to make as the narrator in the video states the following ingredients to make the stupid thing;
• A mix of ice
• Milk
• Frappuccino Syrup
• Vanilla Syrup
• Mango Syrup
• Pink powder
• Sour blue powder
• And a "Blue drizzle"
All of these things are blended together to then be topped off with whipped cream along with pink and blue sugar, keep in mind that these are just to make one Unicorn frappuccino.
Imagine how long it takes to at least make a doze or more for a bunch of brainwashed costumers who think they need it when in reality The Unicorn Frappuccino is nothing more than a fad.
Now you know why I specifically said not to leave comments like, "BUT THAT'S LITERALLY THEIR JOB, THEY SIGNED UP FOR THIS!!!" or something similar to that.

Part II: Public Reaction
"That's the color that I can only describe to as tumor." that was a comment made by Steven Cobear (I don't know how his last name is spelt). Steven said this on his show during this video, he tried The Unicorn Frappuccino and of course he isn't impressed with what Starbucks has offered.
However, much to my dismay most people actually like this stupid drink! Heck There's actually a woman who dyed her hair to match the colors of The Unicorn Frappuccino because that's how much of a fan she is of it.
Even the people from Inside Edition had the audacity to buy some Unicorn Frappuccinos themselves to give it a try, which is one of the reasons why I'm writing this.

Part III: The End Of "The Unicorn Frappuccino Fad"
Luckily during the time this video was being made, the narrator states that The Unicorn Frappuccino will stop selling and being produced on Sunday. I feel sorry for the people who worked for Starbucks, seriously the CEO for Starbucks were clearly WAY IN over their heads
