On Wednesday, Starbucks launched a limited-edition Tie-Dye Frappuccino.
It tastes like banana candy and will only be available for five days — or until supplies run out.
The Tie-Dye Frappuccino will be the newest addition to Starbucks’ ever-growing (and shrinking) family of Instagammable, limited-edition frappuccinos. Retired members include the Unicorn, Zombie, and Witch’s Brew Frappuccinos.
However, these colorful cups of blended sugar don’t always look the way they do in Starbucks’ advertisements. Sometimes, they don’t even come close.
Launched in April 2017, the color-changing Unicorn Frappuccino promised to be a vibrant, first-of-its-kind drink bursting with intense pink and blue.

The Zombie Frappuccino was advertised as a spooky green drink with brain-like pink whipped cream on top. It was released in October 2017, just in time for Halloween.
