Chances are you've seen the new Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks on your Instagram feed or while watching Snapchat. The limited-edition Frappuccino flavor hit stores on April 19 and is sticking around through April 23.

As you sip away at your unicorn frap, not only does it change color but also flavor, making it truly ~*magical*~.
According to Starbucks, it starts off "sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour." We tried the drink for ourselves at SHEfinds and found it to taste more like a sour candy.

The reactions to the Unicorn Frappuccino have been mixed across social media, with one Facebook user sparking a conversation about the ingredients.

Abby Huot pointed out that a Venti-sized Unicorn Frappucino has the same amount of sugar 76 grams, as three Snickers bars. "Or if you prefer, sitting down and eating 18 sugar cubes in one sitting. That should hurt your teeth to think about," she wrote.
Hout makes an excellent point. This is not to knock anyone who ordered the drink and enjoyed it! But sometimes we consume foods or beverages without really thinking about what exactly is in them. Check out the nutrition facts of the Unicorn Frappuccino if you're thinking about ordering one.
