Starbucks Corporation SBUX unveiled a new Halloween-themed drink this week, called the "Franken Frappuccino."
According to a Starbucks employee on Reddit, the drink is an "officially sponsored secret menu drink," made up of a Green Tea Frappuccino mixed with white mocha, java chips and peppermint syrup.
Naturally, social media reacted.
Some users on Twitter were excited:
