Hello everyone this is...
Review
Well hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
I'm The Report Of The Week, and this is the unnamed drink series
So I know a few people are gonna mention the intro of course
And they're gonna be saying what was going on?
well, what happened did he did he finally did he forget it did he forget the most famous words and
Insert here
No, this is the unnamed drink series and the reason why I do that is because whenever I'm reviewing a drink
You know and this is I think a drink. It's
a liquid that you consume
So I think it's defined as a drink, but every time I review a drink. I like to give these little
names for the series that I do
So like when I review energy drinks. I always say "This is Energy Crisis the energy drink report,"
and when I review food I say "This is Running On Empty Food Review"
Well, I had been saying since 2014 you know when I review drinks: I'm gonna come up with a name
Just like those two a little tacky title
but I never did so it just has no name, so I just leave a Memorial pause there,
and you can make up a name if you want. I don't know I'm just wasting time
today's review is for a
Starbucks creation: the Zombie
Frappuccino and there it is
the zombie
See it
and
Well, what is this exactly?
What is the zombie Frappuccino from
from Starbucks, well it's a
Seasonal creation of theirs that's what I would honestly call it
What Starbucks does every so often for - You know under special circumstances like for certain holidays or whatever it might be?
they make these special drinks that are released only for a few days, and you know it's everyone goes crazy over them
And this is no exception. This is a limited time drink. I believe available from today
the 26th I believe until
The thirty-first,Halloween and what it is it's mostly it's, you know, a very colorful drink
Called the Zombie Frappuccino, and it's a it's a tasteful blend of
You know various ingredients it's supposed to give the impression
Like you're eating a zombie right so imagine they have it's layered right. It's a layered drink
So at the bottom here, they have some spices there that are supposed to stimulate like dirt
You know like dirt and dust and all that
But it's not real dirt
Then throughout here
For the bulk of it, they have a blend they didn't give the ingredients
But it's supposed to give the implication like rotting flesh you know
and then up here that's a strawberry
And that was a terrible joke that isn't actually what it is. It's just I was making a play on the name
What it actually is it's a it's supposed to taste like caramel and apples
It's a fall a fall theme the drink and it's colorful. You know. I like the way it looks and
We're just gonna try it so in reality. It's supposed to just be a pretty sweet drink with a
Hint of caramel and some apples as well
This is what it looks like it is indeed layered though
Has some syrup' in there
And I'm just gonna try it out and let you know what I think this is the zombie Frappuccino from Starbucks going in
Got a little brain freeze there
It's chilly
I'm going to take a little sip near the top here
I don't know if you could hear those, but if you hear any noise in the background those are reef blowers
All right
Well, I sufficiently sipped away, and you can see the proof you can see that. It doesn't look like what it used to
Because I sipped away at it therefore. There's a little bit less less liquid in the cup
So what does it taste like exactly?
They were spot-on with the flavor
Caramel and apple, and that's really all that there is to it
it's it's layered as I said, but there's one thing that I do notice and it's a little bit overwhelming
I mean caramel and apples
You know it -it goes fine. I mean we all know caramel apples. It's a fall favorite
We're all aware of that works out well
Good combination. They blend together nicely
The one thing here however in this drink, and I suppose just the caramel syrup that they use perhaps
That's the same thing that they might use for the caramel
Macchiato, you know?
And that caramel syrup is very potent and very strong
And in very strong somewhat bitter drinks like the caramel macchiato, that's absolutely necessary
It needs to kind of overpower in lace that very strong
You know the strong bitterness
in this case however the caramel can be a little bit too strong a little bit too potent
and when you're really quite frankly looking for that Apple taste because you could get
Didn't get caramel on any other drink at Starbucks. That's not a new flavor whatsoever
It's really the Apple that everyone's kind of looking for and perhaps that combination of the two
And that's what I was really looking for too - I was really looking to be immersed in that Apple flavor and then get a little
Bit of that caramel on the side for some sweetness etc
The one issue that I have noticed with this drink
is the fact that the caramel is has some little too strong a little too potent
To the point that when you're you know taking multiple sips in succession, it's it's just not you know
It's not as enjoyable as I may have initially expected it to be and that's a little bit of an issue there
But otherwise it's a very simple drink
Very sweet got the caramel there a little bit of you know Apple all throughout
I really couldn't taste any other flavor and the whipped cream. I don't know if that's supposed to have a special
Flavor or not, but I couldn't taste it, but otherwise it was a pleasant drink. It's a fall beverage
I uh, you know I thought it was pretty good,
but admittedly, I wish that that caramel syrup that they put in there was a little toned down because it's just a little too much per
sip and it got to that point. Where is s getting you know? I kind of needed a little break
and It was kind of getting a little overbearing and overwhelming you can say
But honestly it's a limited time drink a limited time offer. It's only gonna be around for a couple days
I say go for it. I say try it out. I got a venti
which is around five bucks and
You know for what it is for what it's worth. It's a novelty item a limited time product
It wasn't that bad for what it is. I might have my complaints with the caramel syrup
That's an issue, but it's a limited time thing. That's just something to have for fun. I say get it
I say go for it, try it out and see what you think but if you like the Apple especially that is there
It's all throughout just be aware of that caramel syrup that might be a little too strong at times
There four out of ten. I'm gonna rating the Zombie Frappuccino from Starbucks. I'm gonna give it an
8.5 out of 10 it's an 8.5 out of 10
And that's all that I really have for you ladies and gentlemen
one other thing that I did want to mention this evening because I probably have this uploaded in the evening
at 8 p.m. Eastern
I'm going to be having a new VORW radio show where it's it's a fun thing. It's an hour long
I share some thoughts play a little music, and it's just a fun time
But you can hear it on Tune In on Soundcloud or on your radio, and
If you're interested in listening to that it's something to do with something to kill an hour have on in the background and just enjoy
You can check in the description and in the comments
And I have a link to the live streams for that, but you could check that out at 8 p.m. And
Always interested in your feedback on that
No matter what: I hope you enjoy the evening, have a happy Halloween. We're gonna be catching you in a couple days
Probably for a new pizza review, I think Pizza Hut has something out, so I'm gonna try and crack away at that
But that's all that I have for you
I'm your host The Report Of The Week and today's review is for the zombie Frappuccino from Starbucks. Thank you, take care and
That's it goodbye
