Congratulations,Glorious Starbucks. You played yourself.
You thought the unicorn frappuccino was going to be a good idea, and it was. We're sure it made you a ton of money.
But now that people have been alerted to the idea that you can be creative with your drink order, complicated recipes are popping up everywhere in an attempt to be the next big frappuccino trend, like the dragon frappuccino we've seen going around the last few weeks.
Well, now there's the mermaid frappuccino. Maybe people really are trying to take our list of mythical creature frappuccinos and giving it a go.

The mermaid frappuccino was first created by Jocelyn, a barista in Michigan, after her location ran out of the ingredients for the unicorn frappuccino.
Jocelyn describes the recipe for the beverage in her Instagram post. Her mermaid frappuccino consists of a vanilla bean base blended with freeze-dried blueberries and drizzled with "a toasted coconut matcha sauce."

Websites dedicated to compiling Starbucks secret menu items have also caught onto the frappuccino, listing very specific recipe instructions for both the drink itself and the drizzle. According to Starbucks Secret Menu's website, the drizzle calls for "eight pumps of white mocha sauce, three pumps toasted coconut syrup, three heaping scoops of matcha."
If that sounds like mad work, that's because it is. Putting all of those things together just for one frappuccino sounds like a big waste of time. But as long as people keep coming up with these novelty frappuccinos, baristas everywhere will be forced to continue to make them.
Next time you get your frappuccino, make sure to pour some out for all those poor baristas out there. Or tip them.
