So last night I was on Twitter doing research (read: Tweet watching) and saw this hashtag pop up #newstarbucksdrinks. And I thought to myself “Oh YASS, I hope they are coming out with a Pumpkin Spice Ice Latte because I’m craving a PSL.” So I click on the hashtag to see what’s been released and then realized that it wasn’t at all about real drinks at all… #newstarbucksdrinks are a series of parody “race drinks”Starbucks could release in light of their recent announcement. See below what Starbucks is up to and some new items they could add to the menu
