What The Frapp? Dripping in extra whipped cream, caramel syrup drizzle, pumps of cinnamon dulce and honey, five bananas and more—this sticky, tricky Starbucks order has social media percolating.(Snip)“This order comes in every other week,” a fellow Starbucks staffer tweeted, empathizing with Josie via a picture of a Green Tea Creme Frappuccino with 29 supplementary specifications. “I raise you this,” another coffee maker carped alongside a flick of a Caffè Misto with over 30 additional demands. And customers who are waiting behind the “Edwards” of the world aren’t fond of the TikTok coffee craze either. “I was behind a woman who had an order

Seriously, other than one or two flavors in something, who can actually taste that many additions.

Just a little bit of cream in my coffee and I'm happy.
My (liberal) wife, on the other hand, has to have her latte every morning.

Black with sugar....easy-peezy. Real men and women don't drink anything that begins with a prefix like 'Frappa'.

Starbucks coffee is useful only as an additive to a whole lot of other stuff added to hide the fact that it is really bad coffee! Seriously, I am convinced that the genius of Starbucks founders was to convince consumers that burned coffee beans actually made decent coffee. As for us coffee drinkers who prefer it unadulterated, the actual 'coffee' with no additives served by Starbucks tastes like motor oil that has gone about 5000 miles past its 'change by' time. Any greasy spoon diner in America will sell you a better cup of coffee than Starbucks.

Is this why there is a shortage of coffee flavor $bucks Frappuccino ?

Give me my coffee with a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of gun powder.

I like mine Midnight Black. If the spoon doesn’t stand straight up in my brew, it isn’t strong enough.

Lost my taste for Starbucks ages ago. Stomach much happier with organic black coffee. Also don’t miss the lines and faux gentry. Now have more time and money too.

A few years ago, my two granddaughters ages 16 (they're cousins) went to Starbucks with me. They ordered a drink they found on a 'secret' menu. The girls were giggling, the barista was kind, the other customers were patient. Of course, the drink was nothing like what is in this article, just a bit different from the usual orders. I don't think they would get the same reception today if they were to order it again.

Ok I have to admit I am addicted to the Starbucks cold Frappuccino mochas in a bottle. But I buy it at the grocery store. It's like really good chocolate milk! Otherwise, I try to avoid Starbucks at all costs. ...well except when my partner has to have his Carmel Macchiato...🙄 He always ends up throwing half of it away too. Waste!! But he has to have it! Ugh! And yes, I am a real woman...I just like the mocha too much!

#7, you drink what I call "chewable coffee"!! I like mine chewable too but with some half & half to ease the bitterness.

Customers are just punking the "baristas" with complicated orders. This reminds me of MadTV's Bon Qui Qui at King Burger. MUST WATCH on Youtube. Best ever and would NEVER be allowed to air in today's world.
I drink Black Rifle Coffee, Silencer Smooth is the best, delivered to my door. It's a company owned by Vets.

Charge them $1 per ingredient in excess of 3 and this trend will end overnight. Not that anyone cares about Starbucks, but these people are annoying.

I have never ordered a Starbucks coffee. Am I missing something? I guess I don’t care.

Last I checked Starbucks coffee pourers were paid by the hour and there was a tip jar for their hard work. That's why they call it WORK. Now get back to work, the job that requires no heavy lifting.

The customer's always right...what's the complaint? Starbucks patrons know the drill. All the Karens and Edwards line up and have at it, impatience and all. At ridiculous prices, they deserve what they get.

Starbucks coffee is terrible - bitter, nasty stuff. I never drink it any way but black - and if you drink Starbucks black, it tastes terrible.

I've never been or spend any of my money in a Starhucks. There was a coffee shop in a Hastings Book Store called the Hardback Cafe when I 'tried' to order a black coffee the barista became confused I never did get my order I purchased a magazine then left. If I wanted a hot/warm milkshake I would order one. What stupidity.

Anybody who enters one of these Pajama Boy hangouts deserves whatever befalls him.

Are people this bored?
This is a problem now?
Order what you want, let others other what they want.
People just want to control each other.

Attention-seeking misfits order foolishly complicated drinks that clog the line for their fellow woketopians, who in turn stew while hoping to not get attacked by the homeless junkies that are proudly welcome to loiter and shoot up in the restrooms. Is any business more deserving than Starbucks? May this trend flourish.
