SEATTLE (AP) — A Starbucks barista has taken to social media hoping to make orders for the coffee chain's much buzzed about Unicorn Frappuccino disappear.
Starbucks' entry into the unicorn food craze was released Wednesday and its popularity was too much for 19-year-old Colorado barista Braden Burson. He posted a video (now-deleted) on Twitter after his shift complaining that it was difficult to keep up with orders for the drink and he's "never been so stressed out" in his life.
The Unicorn Frappuccino is a sweet and sour pink and blue cream swirl topped with what Starbucks calls "fairy powder." Burson says in the video that a day of making the treat left him with sticky hands and residue from the drink stuck to his clothes and in his hair.

A person complaining about their job warrants an AP article?
Poor baby. I’m not I would trust this weak,, unstable idiot with even pouring a cup of coffee.
It sounds like the recipe for a diabetic coma. No thanks.
Well I guess if you paid attention in school and learned to read and write and do math you might find a better paying less stressful job than catering to the people who frequent Starbucks.
Wash your hands, snowflake, and berate fellow millennials for not leaving tips.
Maybe this guy would be better suited and happier to clean out the unicorn stables.
The garbage new offering would hang around on the menu for six months, and make everyone on the line miserable.
Then, it would disappear.
But a Corporate-level yuppie would have gotten a promotion, and could afford a new condo...
A unicorn pooping Skittles, the left has found nirvana.

The unicorn food craze? That’s a craze I have missed so far.
“Fairy Powder”?
Paging Elton John!!
Somehow this “unicorn food craze” has passed me by so far.
Let me guess: fairy poop?
They look like they’d be kind of a pain to make. Word is they don’t taste good either.
LOL!
“a day of making the treat left him with sticky hands and residue from the drink stuck to his clothes and in his hair.”
Ha! I worked a summer in college scooping cold and hot asphalt out of dump trucks fixing potholes in 90+ degree weather. Then I worked 3 years in a newspaper press room as an apprentice pressman. When I was done I had ink in my hair, ground into my knees, elbows, and hands. When I smiled you could see it in my teeth. Try getting that stuff out. I don’t think I ever complained. My mom did cause she said I ruined her washer when I washed my work clothes in it. I did complain some during my 22 years in the Army, but they told me it was mandatory back then.
Anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry knows that there are times when the business gets slammed with lots of orders. It’s just the nature of the business.
The kid has two choices: quit or shut up. Posting a negative review of your company/products/customers is often a good way to get fired or have your work hours cut.
“fairy powder”......
