Starbucks launches new 'birthday' drink but people are divided
Starbucks has added a limited-edition sweet drink with a funky cup as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations - and fans are rushing to get their hands on it, but one detail has caused confusion Starbucks fans have been rushing to their nearest chain to get their hands on a brand new drink that comes with a funky reusable cup and sprinkles on top. The coffee giant, which has been running since the 1970s, often changes up its food and drink menu and has launched a celebration drink to mark a major milestone. The new and colourful Birthday Frappuccino is available now for a limited period. "It's not always on the menu, but that's part of what makes it special," Starbucks insists. However, some fans have been left confused by the product and when they can get it. Despite being called a 'Birthday drink', anyone can buy the new beverage, even if it is not your birthday. However, there is a simple explanation for the moniker - the name comes as Starbucks celebrates three decades since the first Frappuccino was served in one of their chains. Starbucks first made the celebratory drink back in 2015, to mark 20 years of the Frappuccino. It was only sold for a few days, but it became very popular. People loved it so much that Starbucks brought it back in some countries for a short time in later years. Even though it's not on the menu all the time, fans still talk about it and share their own versions online. Describing the product, Starbucks said: "The drink is sweet and smooth, perfect for people who want something fun and don't like coffee. It's a great choice for both kids and adults." It is available from today until July 17. A Tall (small) version of the drink will cost you £3.95. If you opt for Grande (medium) it set you back between £4.45 and £4.75, while a Venti (large) version is priced between £5.10 and £5.25. In a TikTok post, Starbucks Honiton Road said: "It's here in the UK! We are celebrating 30 years since the first frappuccino was served. Order a grande size and receive a free reusable cup with your order." Starbucks Cleckheaton added: "Come grab your birthday Frappuccino with a free cup at our store while stocks last!". "I had it, it was soo good," commented one person. One individual went to Starbucks earlier today and shared a video on TikTok as they sampled the drink. They said: "Anyone else getting Starbucks Birthday Frappuccino purely for the reusable cup? Because I am." They added: "The cups are available until they run out I suppose! So run don't walk." "I didn't know this was a thing, thank you," commented one. "Omg I wanted the cup too," added another.
