The internet has lost its mind over the limited-edition Unicorn Frappuccino – and apparently so have Starbucks baristas.
The sugary frozen drink that changes flavor and color with a stir of the straw debuted on Wednesday and is only available until Sunday.
A young man who is a Starbucks barista in Colorado described the “insane” scene at his location.
“I have never been so stressed out in my entire life,” Braden Burson said in a video that’s going viral on Twitter. “My hands are completely sticky.”
He says people were coming in left and right on Wednesday.
“If you love us as baristas, don’t order it,” he said. “For the love of God and everything that is good, don’t get the Unicorn Frappuccino!”
Starbucks says in a statement it’s reaching out to Burson “to talk about his experience and how to make it better.”
But his rant is clearly resonating with some fellow baristas.
And regular customers say their local Starbucks has been overwhelmed by Unicorn Frappuccino seekers.
A large Unicorn Frappuccino contains a whopping 76 grams of sugar. A can of Coca Cola has 39 grams.
A sweat tart? No wonder people are saying they’re nasty. 8~)

Good news....Dreyer’s made Starbucks coffee ice cream (now discontinued).
Dreyer’s now sells the coffee ice cream under the Edy’s label.
Look for Edy’s Grand and Edy’s Slow Churn........makes the coffee ice cream with Oreo chunks and a fudge swirl.
Thanks:)
It doesn't change its sex too? Whas' up wit' dat?
Unicorns have no sex..................that’s why there ain’t any..........
Hey Snowflake, You might try washing them once in a while. That's what that sink behind the counter is for. And while you are thinking about your sticky hands, the toilet paper in the bathroom is supposed to be used instead of your left hand. We know Starbucks loves Muslim traditions but some of your customers don't appreciate the brown fingerprints on the paper cups.
Lol...the old Cloward-Piven gambit, eh? Overload the system.
Not much of a starbucks fan. Used to get my coffee in Iraq from Green Beans...they called it the MOAC...Mother Of All Coffees, was an extra large coffee with 2 shots of espresso. Just enough to get me going until I could start my brew at work :-)
Does Starbucks know how to market and sell their junk food or what? Now if they can just get their CEO to shut up about political issues, which hurts sales.
I don’t understand the Starbucks draw. Overpriced coffee. More calories than a Roman banquet and people who act like neurotic toads......................
So, it's just like spending the night at his boyfriend's.
