Unicorn Frap
The Unicorn Frappuccion is seen as the number one unhealthiest drink that Starbucks has put out for sell. Given the name nicknames such as "Sugar Bomb" and "Unsurprising Surprise" it would be hard to believe that Starbucks actually has other drink with more sugar than the Unicorn Frappuccino. The two drink that should claim the "Most Sugary" title is the Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino and the Pokémon GO Frappuccino, which was another drink that was offered for a limited time in December of 2016. Each drink has about 10 extra grams of sugar than the Unicorn Frappuccino. Also the Caramel, Java Chip, Cotton Candy Creme frappuccinos all have about 66 grams of sugar in the grand size. These three drinks still have more sugar than the assumed most sugary drink( Unicorn Frappuccino). Even though the Unicorn Frappuccion isn't the unhealthiest drink that Starbucks sells it's still the equivalent to eating about 6 Krispy Kreme donuts. In fact, with the weight watchers program if you were to drink the Unicorn Frappuccion it would take up about 22 point for the day and most people are only offered 30 points per day.

Even though this drink was around for five days it managed to go viral (making about 180,000 instagram post) and sold out in the majority of Starbucks in the country before the promotion even ended. The purpose of putting this Magical Drink out for sell was to help Starbucks boost their sales for this particular quarter. In channel checks, UBS found that the average Starbucks saw more than 20 people coming in to buy the Unicorn Frappuccino each day it was available. Since Starbucks sold out pretty quickly with this colorful drink, it is okay to say that their goal to reach sales for the quarter was achieved.

Pokemon Go Frappuccino
Pokemon Go and Starbucks teamed up to make The Pokemon Go frappuccino in December of 2016. In the Pokemon Go game this frappuccino was an item called " Razz Berry" which increased the chances of catching a Pokemon. This frozen drink is a blend of raspberry syrup and frozen blackberries with a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino as it's base. Even though the sugar continent in this drink is considered to be high, it is said that this drink isn't very sweet at all but instead it's rather refreshing. This drink is not considered a "Limited Time" frappuccino because it doesn't include any off the menu ingredients.
