The Walking Dead Take Over Starbucks With New, Limited Edition Zombie Frappuccino

Written by

Move over, unicorns. There’s a new Frappuccino in town, and it’s a whole lot of scary.

In its latest limited edition release, Starbucks has said farewell to rainbows and sweetness and hello to the walking dead. The Zombie Frappuccino is here and it’s available in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico through October 31st.

According to a comment on Starbucks’ Twitter feed, this zombified concoction is a “green caramel apple Frappuccino with a cascade of pink mocha drizzle, topped with pink vanilla whip.” Yeah. No. I love Starbucks. I do. Some may even say that I am an addict. It’s possible. Generally speaking, if it is Starbucks, I’ll drink it: lattes, mochas, cappuccinos. Bring on the pumpkin spice! But green caramel apple with whipped brains? No to the nos.

That’s not stopping the rest of North America, though. While it doesn’t much resemble the grey-faced zombies roaming the world in AMC’s hit “The Walking Dead,” it still managed to gain their attention.

Look, Starbucks, I may have been slightly traumatized from your last foray into the world of limited edition drinks. In all honesty, I am still trying to detox from the massive sugar overload brought on by your Unicorn Frapp. So as I said, it’s going to be a no from me. A thousand nos. But fear not, there are others happy to oblige. Here is what the people of Twitter are saying about it.

The good:

Not to worry, Danielle. Starbucks has you covered.

For all the baristas out there? Here’s hoping this one isn’t nearly as complicated as the Unicorn Frapp. No one can forget the stress and agony that one caused. It would appear that there are some who are still experiencing some post traumatic stress.

Love it or hate it, the Zombie Frappuccino will only be around for 5 days, so if you’ve got a hankering for brains, you better move faster than the undead.
