Funnel Cake syrup?! Anyone know what this is supposed to be about? It smells weird. (i.redd.it)

Starting in July, all stores should be getting a mobile deep fryer, dough, and funnel cake topping.

This will be kicking off "Starbucks Summer CARnival" where baristas will entertain people in drive through while they wait for thier coffee.

Some stores will also be hiring professional clowns to help. If one of these positions interests you, you can go here: https://www.starbucks.com/careers/find-a-job/corporate

my SM is already a professional clown so that works out

Bbbbyg-siobhan 37 points 2y ago

This fucking killed me 😂😂😂😂

[deleted] 2 points 2y ago

this has me crying omfg

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 38 points 2y ago

Omg can’t wait to finally be my true self at Starbucks. Love that they are listening to us for once 🤡

meganroslv 11 points 2y ago

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not 😂

parisdiva96 10 points 2y ago

I actually bought it for a second there 🤣

charlenebean 6 points 2y ago

This absolutely killed me 😭😂

Raspberry_Just 3 points 2y ago

you scared me at first

mittenmurderino 45 points 2y ago

We just got ours Friday along with the funnel cake topping, I can't wait to find out what the hell we're supposed to make with it!

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 42 points 2y ago

I’m excited too! My SM said that we aren’t getting the s’mores Frappuccino back which I’m fine with. This is supposed to go into a strawberry funnel cake Frappuccino apparently.

TheBlueSuperNova 42 points 2y ago

THE FUCK YOU MEAN S’MORES AINT COMING BACK

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 15 points 2y ago

That’s what my SM told me yesterday :(. I think the Funnel Cake is replacing it this summer.

charlenebean 11 points 2y ago

It is. A truly devastating decision

charlenebean 8 points 2y ago

I started working here for this!!! I’m calling corporate

Caramel_Muchacho 7 points 2y ago

My youngest son will be devastated (not really); he loves the S’mores Frappuccino.

selenitesugar 11 points 2y ago

Do y'all not get the now brewing magazines??? Its for a strawberry funnel cake frap

mittenmurderino 1 points 2y ago

We lost our lead and backup at the same time and just got a new lead but they where not properly trained so they have no clue what they're doing... So we definitely don't get a magazine.. unless my coworkers just toss it out or hide it 🤷🏽‍♀️

4filth 1 points 2y ago

Go to your store ipad lol the recipe is already on there

mittenmurderino 1 points 2y ago

Our store doesn't have an iPad, we are a kiosk in a grocery store 😕 and have been without a lead for a few weeks now.

boxinghamster16 30 points 2y ago

Can we not post future stuff on here so people start asking about it already? I'm tired bro.

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 24 points 2y ago

I meant no harm by this bro and I’m sorry about that. I was just really interested receiving this in the order and my SM hadn’t told any of us what this was for so I was wondering if there might be some answers here. I’m a Tarbux employee so we tend to find things out late there. Again though, really sorry bro.

zydr8te 7 points 2y ago

I get it, but TikTok has made our jobs hard enough

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 10 points 2y ago

I totally get it. We’re the only Starbucks within 30 miles and EVERYONE comes to us with their stupid tik tok drinks and they always complain when we charge them accordingly. But again I’m sorry and I meant no harm by this.

The recipe is live in the hub if you wanna look!

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 11 points 2y ago

I wish I had partner numbers. Tarbux employee here :(

maidofpuns 6 points 2y ago

Fellow Tarbux partner! We got the recipe card last week; hopefully you'll get yours soon, too!

gracelssprophet 5 points 2y ago

Ask your lead for the weekly updates or Summer 1 PPK if you're in a licensed location! All leads should have access to Storelink and the PPKs already got physically sent to stores :)

KaleSalad201 3 points 2y ago

Where do I find it?

TheUltimateNova 17 points 2y ago

We just started testing it at ours. It’s kinda gross tbh, especially as a coffee based frap. Idk, so far 5 of our baristas that tried it dislike it

akp272301 17 points 2y ago

It’s going to be a strawberry funnel cake frappe!!

USplendid -29 points 2y ago

Frappuccino. “Frappes” are from McDonald’s.

zelico 18 points 2y ago

im pretty sure we all understand what they mean lmao no need to be nit picky

USplendid -6 points 2y ago

My Starbucks is next-door to a McDonald’s. We *constantly* get customers trying to order McCafe drinks or saying their drinks are made wrong.

So at my store, it’s a bit of a trigger word.

zelico 7 points 2y ago

but WE are on REDDIT theres no mcdonalds across the street from a subreddit

drinkliquidclocks 0 points 2y ago

The word Frappe isn't even exclusive to McDonald's... All frappucinos are frappes, but not all frappes are frappucinos 😉

smoolbeean 14 points 2y ago

so we are getting this but not brown sugar and oatmilk

nouveaberry 12 points 2y ago

RIP milk choco sauce 😭

Kaori15 12 points 2y ago

It’s the strawberry funnel cake frappuccino im so excited for it

InsertAliasHere7589 7 points 2y ago

I'd be careful posting about things that aren't being advertised to the public yet.. I've heard of people losing their jobs over this, and, at the least, it doesn't make our jobs easy. People are going to see this and start asking for it wayy too early.

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 8 points 2y ago

No I totally understand and I won’t be posting anymore. This syrup was just so weird and caught me off guard. No one at my store knew what it was and our SM didn’t tell us anything so I decided to see if anyone knew on here. My bad for that but I’m so grateful for all the feedback. Posted to the barista specific page because obviously there can be non baristas lurking but was just hoping to hear from some baristas who do know about this. Wish Tarbux people could at least access the hub to learn about what’s new instead of having to wait for our SM. Again though, incredibly grateful for all the feedback and I’ll be a lot more careful next time.
Thank you! 🙂

InsertAliasHere7589 3 points 2y ago

I get that. I mean the only reason I know about it is because I overheard a meeting my SM had with our district while I was doing tips🙄 gotta love the communication!

USSTrashBarge 6 points 2y ago

Oh no, it has begun. It's for a Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino and before you ask, yes, it's a layered frap. May god have mercy on our souls

AvoFromCado 6 points 2y ago

Wait is this US?

tazman1243 8 points 2y ago

Yes or atleast it will be available in the us

croissantboyy 4 points 2y ago

dear god

ExactPlatypus2117 3 points 2y ago

I was hunting through the Store Resources on the iPad in a slow moment to double check something when I stumbled upon the Summer I drink recipe: Strawberry Funnel Cake Frap/Creme... Of course I completely forgot what I was looking for when I saw this terrifying concoction.

CiTFiD 3 points 2y ago

Careful. Doing this got me kicked out of a Starbucks group

dadnevercamehome 3 points 2y ago

somebody didn't read the now brewing!

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 2 points 2y ago

I have no idea what that is😂. Haven’t seen my SM since last Sunday and being Tarbux, very little is communicated 🙃

juiceyluicy 3 points 2y ago

It’s a new layered Frappuccino. I think the new now brewing should mention it

kid-muscles 2 points 2y ago

I saw that doing the weekly count! I’m nervous but excited!!

PluralPaul 2 points 2y ago

So glad I'll get to experiment by making drinks taste fried and greasy

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 3 points 2y ago

We were making some test drinks today and it has a weird buttery taste. I didn’t like it. Not too bad with strawberry purée but we tried dark caramel and even by itself and it was not good :(

PluralPaul 2 points 2y ago

I'm definitely surprised they decided funnel cake should be a syrup instead of putting something similar in the hole morning buns left

XxTRUEPINOYxX 2 points 2y ago

Was doing the Wednesday count and I saw it on the IPad I was like wtf

csaine 2 points 2y ago

For the new frappuccino

QueenOfTypos337 1 points 2y ago

i have been talking about this with my other partners for like a week now! were super excited to try it after seeing it in the now brewing thing its whatever its called

ScalieDraggy 1 points 2y ago

Tastes like vanilla, only weaker.

Jeffuk88 1 points 2y ago

Strawberry funnel cake frap

drinkliquidclocks 1 points 2y ago

Does anyone know if it will be creme of coffee based? I'd guess creme but you never know

Various-Feedback6595 [OP] 2 points 2y ago

I believe it’s both. We tried it coffee and cream based today. Cream was so much better than coffee. Idk strawberry and coffee do not go that well together :/

Mikaylapancakes 1 points 2y ago

It’s a strawberry funnel cake Frappuccino. Coffee and creamer base. Whip on top and bottom, strawberry purée and the funnel cake pieces

_candlestick 1 points 2y ago

WHATTTT

Justthehusband0 1 points 2y ago

New frap

sjt36 1 points 2y ago
