Starbucks launches Tie-Dye Frappuccino

The icy blended beverage is made with a tropical Crème Frappuccino with dashes of powder in yellow, red and blue (which gets its color from red beet, turmeric, and spirulina) that mix to create the tie-dye effect. The beverage is topped with whipped cream and a final dusting of colored powder.
Some Twitter users have compared the flavor to banana Laffy Taffy, a pina colada, or the candy sticks that come with a Fun Dip pack.
“It’s bright and colorful and fun and should bring a smile to your face,” the drink's creator Paloma Carrington-Bataller said in a press release. “Perfect for the heydays of summer.”
