Starbucks debuts its 4 new, hotly anticipated summer Frappuccino flavors
Starbucks is brewing up new Frappuccinos this summer.
The coffee giant announced that it will launch four new Frappuccino flavors for the summer, coming this July.
The new blended beverages include Salted Caramel Mocha, Strawberry Matcha and Brown Sugar — all of which come topped with cold foam — as well as the Firework Frappuccino.

Timed to the Fourth of July, the Firework Frappuccino gives a 'festive twist' on the Summer-Berry Refresher.
According to an apparent employee on Reddit, the Firework Frappuccino is made with a Summer Berry and coconut milk base, pearls, puree and cold foam.
The user also noted that the holiday-inspired frap will only be available from July 1 through July 7.

While many customers seem to be excited about the new Frappuccinos, baristas online are less than happy — complaining that the new fraps go against the company's goal to 'simplify' the menu.
'So much for simplifying the menu, my fraps already take longer than any other drink to make for me,' one complained on Reddit. 'This is gonna suuuuuck so much to make quickly.'

'Yeah, I mean, didn't you hear them? were simplifying the menu by taking away the fraps with coffee and coming out with 12 step drinks with cold foam. obviously this is what makes sense,' another snarked.

When CEO Brian Niccol first took charge of the company, he noted that one of his priorities to accelerate growth would be to simplify the 'overly complex' menu so baristas can speed up service — part of his 'Back to Starbucks' initiative.

'back to 30 minute wait times enjoy,' someone quipped.
Starbucks launched its summer menu in May with returning favorites as well as new seasonal drinks and snacks.
On the seasonal menu is the brand-new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, which combines blonde espresso with horchata syrup — a mix of cinnamon, vanilla and rice flavors — shaken with ice and topped off with oat milk.

Another new treat to the menu is a food item: the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, which is designed to look like a strawberry and features strawberry cream cake with buttercream and dipped in chocolate icing.
Additionally, their new Brown Sugar Cream Cold Foam 'offers a light and silky texture with a caramel-like sweetness and pairs perfectly with a Cold Brew, Iced Chai or Iced Flat White.'

Men are using bizarre tactics to determine if a date is a gold digger: ‘He just wanted to test me'
Men are finding sneaky ways to determine if a date is a gold digger — and women are learning this the hard way. One single woman shared her recent experience with this in the r/AITA subreddit on Reddit — which has since been deleted. The 29-year-old went on a date set up by a mutual friend that she thought went well overall. At the end of the date, when the $100 check came — her date decided to test her to see if she was a golddigger, unbeknownst to her. Explaining that she had every intention to split the bill with him, you could imagine how taken aback she was when he handed her the check and asked if she could pay for it. The woman obliged, and as soon as business was taken care of, the OP explained his reaction: 'Right after I paid, he got this huge grin on his face and said, 'Congratulations, you passed the test! You're not a gold digger,'' she wrote in her post. Everyone comes with baggage from past relationships. This couple wasn't any different, as the guy explained that he dated someone in the past who expected him to pay for everything. The OP wrote how she handled this news: 'I told him that I'm not his ex and he has no right to treat me like I'm guilty until proven innocent. I also said he's not some prize that I need to pass tests for.' Kudos to her for standing up for herself. Of course, the commenters went off on this guy, many agreeing that this 'test' was a wild thing to do. '…it absolutely WAS a test- to see how far he could disrespect you. His behavior could only get worse from there,' wrote one commenter. 'While it's certainly possible that his ex was only into him for the money, he's not actually offering much else. At least, not a pleasant character,' another user wrote. And this isn't the first scenario where a guy tested the waters to see what type of woman he was dealing with. In another Reddit thread — in the same subreddit — a woman shared her bizarre experience with a date she met on a dating app who claimed to be a carpenter, to see if she only wanted to date guys for their money. 'He ended up admitting that he is not a carpenter, he just wanted to test me,' the OP wrote. The woman said her date mentioned a 'low-paying job' to see how she reacted to it. Reddit users had a field day with this story, too. ''I'd like to start this potential relationship by lying to you.' I think that's shitty as f–k and you can go f–k,' a comment read. 'This dude has baggage you probably don't need to be dealing with,' another person pointed out. 'His 'test' gave away his character flaw. He showed you that he's a snob. The job he chose to 'slum it' is pretty lucrative if you're good and especially if you build your company up. He is a jerk,' quipped someone else.

15 Things That Piss People Off
Look, we're all human and get mad at certain things every now and then. So when I saw that Reddit user chi-bacon-bits asked: "At your age, what instantly pisses you off?" I thought it would be relatable to share their opinions below: "People with ZERO spatial awareness." —Collt092 "When ONE person at work fucks up and instead of sitting that person down and fixing it with them, EVERYONE has to go through 'training' to know not to do what they already don't have a problem not doing. Bonus points for sitting in that training and looking over at the ONE person it is all for and seeing from their slack-jawed vacant eye stare that they aren't learning a damn thing." "People not listening/paying attention to you when you are speaking because they are distracted by their phone." —rorofish33 "I'm 32 and what instantly pisses me off is internet illiteracy. I'm not talking about little kids; they haven't had the chance to learn. I'm referring to people around my age and up who have used the internet for a good portion of their lives. It doesn't matter how many times they're warned, they still click links in emails, invest money into online 'businesses' without asking important questions, click suspicious ads, and accept whatever image they see as real. It never ceases to amaze me how many people fall for all of this time and time again. Then they complain about their computer not working right or being angry about something that isn't real. It's just so maddening." "Loud anything: neighbors, cars, conversations, music at restaurants, you name it, it'll piss me off." —YounomsayinMawfk "People who judge people off false assumptions about their age." "People who think being 23 means I've got unlimited energy, no stress, and 'my whole life ahead of me' so I shouldn't be tired or anxious. Like bro, I'm 23, not a Disney Channel character. Rent is due, my back hurts, and I have to Google how long to boil eggs. Let me be tired in peace." —Future-Surround "People who talk on the phone on speaker setting, or people who listen to music in public on their speaker. Rage." "Parents who let their children run amok." —BnCtrKiki "People who finish using something and just leave it. Like making a bowl of cereal and leaving the box on the side and not putting it back pisses me off. Same with milk being left out." "When the store changes its aisle placement." —merlin318 "The rising cost of living, that's just getting more and more wild each year, while the super rich worldwide spend billions on nonsense." "People staring at their phone while driving and driving like total shit." —Lizard_State2500 "People standing in the middle of the sidewalk, so you either have to walk through them or into the street to get around them. Share the effing sidewalk people!" "Everything. Now get off my lawn!" —Ok-Dot-5344 Is there something that instantly pisses you off?

Donald Trump's Latest Truth Social Conspiracy Theory Repost About Joe Biden Being Replaced By "Clone Doubles" Is Going Viral, And It's Deeply Unserious
In the last few weeks, former President Joe Biden has seemingly been on Donald Trump's mind A LOT. Earlier this week, Trump went on a mini-rant in the Oval Office, calling Biden "vicious," and most recently, he took to Truth Social to repost a strange conspiracy theory about the former president. On Saturday night, Trump took to Truth Social to repost a conspiracy theory from a pro-MAGA account about Biden supposedly being "executed in 2020" and replaced by "clone doubles." The original post reads: "There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference," followed by dozens of political hashtags. According to Rolling Stone, this same account has posted other conspiracies about the 2020 election being stolen via "cyber warfare." Related: 18 Major Global Events That American Media Is Ignoring Right Now, And Why They Actually Matter To Us Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer (who reportedly traveled with Trump during the 2024 campaign trail) reacted to Trump's conspiracy repost with a laughing emoji. Many others did NOT find the sitting president reposting unfounded conspiracy theories amusing, and weren't afraid to express it: Related: "I Am So Torn With What You Are Doing" — 11 Posts From MAGA Business Owners Who Are So Close To Getting It "Trump believes anything that attacks his perceived enemies and makes him feel better," one person wrote. "We live in the most ridiculous possible world," another person wrote. "If Biden had said something like this, his entire cabinet would have invoked the 25th within the hour, and rightfully so," Reddit user Nerevarine91 wrote, referring to the Constitution's 25th Amendment that allows the president to be removed from office if deemed "unfit to serve." "This is such a degradation of America," Reddit user Medlarmarmduke agreed. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
