Here Are The Starbucks Frappuccino Flavors That Didn't Make The Cut
Starbucks just came out with six new Frappucino flavors, including cotton candy, red velvet, and cupcake! While those flavors might not sound terribly diverse, Starbucks did take some other, less cakey flavors into consideration. Here are the Starbucks Frappuccino flavors that, unfortunately, didn't make it onto their menu.
METAL
Starbucks knows that nothing offsets the heat better than the cooling properties of metal. Apparently they modeled the flavor off of a cat food tin...and the focus groups loved it! Mercury poisoning was really hot this year. So we're suprised this flavor didn't make it.
HUMMUS
It's always been a crowd pleaser, so why didn't it make the cut? Obviously Starbucks doesn't know how to party.
Wet Hair
Sound refreshing? YES. And on an aesthetic level...stunning. But there was so much argument over whether to use dog hair or human hair hair that they never really nailed down the flavor. Too bad. It would have gone great with their blueberry scones.
death of a distant relative
Whether your great uncle Hal passed away seven years ago, or even last week, Death of A Distant Relative would have triggered some pretty vague memories. And insulin. (See nutritional menu.)
ted talk
Technically, it was just a bacon milkshake, but because it said TED all over it, you could have tricked people into thinking that you knew why bats are such a vital part of our ecosystem. What a waste, and one that you could have pretended to care about.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Original Ice Blended Mocha
They could have really cashed in on this one. The only reason it didnt' pass is that the CEO is allergic to chocolate.
