Scribbles About Food: Cotton Candy Frappuccino+ My Thoughts on the Mini Frap

Okay now I've actually tried all the fraps and... this is definitely one of my favorite... I'll let you know in my final Scribbles About Food which one of these wins it for me... Idk if I've even decided yet... but this is a top contender for sure.

So this I think has always been a thing on the secret starbucks menu... but now its one of their LTD flavors and it tastes awesome. I believe all it is is a Vanilla Bean with Raspberry Syrup... it tastes like a cotton candy and it is awesome.

I think even though it tastes quite a bit like cotton candy, the raspberry is quite present. Like its noticeable that there is raspberry in this frap. Its really good. I happen to like Raspberry a lot and I feel like the flavor is nice and summery and it still has a cotton candy vibe to it... I'm pretty impressed.

This isn't something that you can just down a grande of... you need to sip it and keep it for a while. Its wayyy too sweet to just have all at once, you'll probably get sick... but I think that I prefer to drink something more slowly in the summer because it does get really hot out and you'll have this for the entire time you're out doing whatever you are doing. If your outside by a pool, at the beach, going for a walk, sitting outside of starbucks, or even just in a hot car... you have a drink to accompany you and cool you down through all of that.

I got this and I also tried this in one of the new Mini Frap sizes... and I've got to be honest here... I thought the mini size was a rip off. Its a little bigger than I expected... but its still tiny and it isn't that much cheaper than the Tall... so If you just want a taste of it... you might as well just get a tall. Its only a little bigger and only a little more expensive. I'll insert an insta of my mini frap next to my friend's Tall Frap. At the bottom. Or here... or somewhere... if I get to it... lol.




Is this better than Cool Ranch Doritos. I think its on par. I don't know if the sophistication is really the same as the complex flavors of Cool Ranch Doritos... actually it is. Because it has the cotton cand flavor... but also the distinctive vanilla bean and raspberry. So yeah. It is as sophisticated as Cool Ranch Doritos and probably better. I know I said I liked this more than the others and I rated them mostly better than Cool Ranch Doritos... but right now I'm really hungry and Cool Ranch Doritos sound more appealing to me than this frap... so that is affecting my vote a little.

Stay Classy!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
