View this post on Instagram #Starbucks Crystal Ball Frappuccino A post shared by Rina… Continue reading Crystal Ball Frappuccino
I know I said no more Starbucks drinks… but it’s Halloween! The whole idea of zombies is the idea that rampant, mindless consumerism destroys culture and society. So of course Starbucks had to make a Zombie Frappuccino for its promotional Halloween drink. Last year, they created the Frappula Frappuccino, see review here . And this… Continue reading Zombie Frappuccino
