Starbucks new customizable frappacinos

The Taste of the 3 salty mixes are enough to keep you away from the new frap even if it was given away for free. I hope they bring back the classic frap texture and flavor. Many Truthful Comments about the aftertaste, the texture of the products, the general loathing of it were deleted from YouTube also. The ruse of how you like it, is just that. We had the product as we liked it and it was customizable before they took out the yummy flavors and made you pay for something MORE to make it taste anything like the classic. It appears they are only marketing using the facebook, twitter route. It appears that only acceptable comments are kept. On the Ideas site since you are directed to continue your discussion on Facebook *aw look at the pretty pictures and friends that will help you sell it LOL), twitter... it seems like just a ruse? to get more advertising for the product. I think only pleasing comments are kept therer also, not sure. The Classic didn't really need such forceful marketing & frilly gimmicks to sell it as it was beloved by many. The only way they could get a following would be to omit the three or four ingredients, the 3 gum salt base & possible via roast flavor additives. If you go for real espresso coffee shots & skip those you may get something worth drinking but not anything like the classic. I dare anyone to go test the three base offering flavors and the coffee roast flavor. Salt & Bitter... not really refreshing and you will probably want to spit it out or look like you just swigged a lemon. They want you to put extra cocoa to make it taste "sweet" as before. There cocoa comes with sugar. So why not use real sugar in the first place and get rid of the stevia, get rid of the nasty via if that is used at some stores also. Not everyone likes those two flavors. So omit the price for those (2) of your NON CHOOSING heh.

They need to freeze their milk, soy, however you like it & Omit the 3 new coffee, coffee lite, creme and Roast flavor... add 3 REAL espresso shots & maybe it will taste like a frap and not some ice water powder salt lick.
