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.

Great argument for bringing back the military draft!

Everybody knows that there is no such thing as “fairy powder”.

All these years after Dr. Spock and psychology were given free reign, how is that working out for us?

Thanks for posting this classic image.

I was boycotting Starbucks long before Trump declared his candidacy. No place for the likes of me in such a snobatorium.

Really good advertisement graphic there.

It’s from an ad for the Squatty Potty. The unicorn also farts rainbows.

What’s wrong with “grownups”? I can’t imagine any of my ancestors ordering a $6 cup of blue swirled coffee sprinkled with “fairy dust”.

So is the fairy powder representative of the people that make it or the people that drink it? Or both?

No “Fairy Powder” in that cup, maybe a little gun oil.
