Jimmy Kimmel Introduces the ‘F–k-It-Ccino’: ‘Designed to Suit Our Troubled Time’ (Video)

The late night host riffs on Starbucks’ new Unicorn Frappuccino

Everybody’s got an opinion about the new Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino, including Jimmy Kimmel, who offered up a concoction of his own on his show Thursday night.

“Who says America doesn’t invent anything anymore?” he asked his audience.

After diving into the details of the Unicorn Frap — a color-changing drink that apparently tastes like pure sour sugar and looks like Lisa Frank vomit — Kimmel said that Starbucks was going to introduce another drink “designed specifically to suit our troubled time.”

It’s called the F–k-It-Ccino and it’s made with everything that can get you through the current political climate. According to the spoof ad, it’s “made with Starbucks premium coffee, pancake batter, chocolate frosting, french fries, vodka, and Lexapro — everything you need to forget about life for six minutes.”

The ad features a woman briefly enjoying the drink before sinking back into despair, along with a barista who maybe has had too much of the fantasy drink.

From the smile on the barista’s face, it’s clear the F–k-It-Ccino is either not as difficult to make as the Unicorn Frap or he doesn’t have to touch it. After initial reactions hit the internet from customers, baristas got in on the action, telling people not to get the drink.

Braden Burson, a barista in Colorado, said in a video rant that “I have unicorn crap all in my hair and on my nose. I have never been so stressed out in my entire life.”

The Frappuccino is only available until April 23.
