Starbucks,
Starbucks,
I’ve been a fan since my days as a 16 year old barista. Since the days when I got chubby eating nothing but pumpkin scones and full fat caramel frappuccinos – with whip. I stood up for you when people said local coffee shops were better. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of other places that make a great vanilla latte, but I am a fan of consistency. I like knowing what I’m going to get….that is, until last Thursday morning.
We were driving to SoCal from the bay area and stopped off at store #09489. Somewhere along I-5. The driver needed a LITTLE pick me up. We aren’t drip or americano people, so he ordered a caramel frappuccino light – hold the whip.
This is what ended up in his cup – chunks of ice.
Here’s the thing. There’s no excuse. Starbucks has done a great job making it easy to measure out the correct amount of frappuccino mix, ice and syrup. When you don’t have enough mix, too much ice and a crappy blender. This is what you get. And I was so annoyed I took a picture.
It happens. I get it. But when you are on a 6 hour road trip with a camera and a crappy frappuccino…..you get inspired for a blog post.
Sincerely,
Bryn
