In Search Of. . . Starbucks Secret Menu Wednesday: Swamp Monster
At some point, I'll probably just rename this Starbucks Secret Menu in a day ending in "Y."
You see my social life happens on Wednesday night and since I normally have a thing against buying Starbucks twice in one day, I try to wait until later when I know we'll be going out.
Sometimes we don't go to Starbucks though. Like last night, we all went to Culver's where I ate my weight in food and ice cream. So I usually buy Starbucks the next day.

Ok, back on track. I deviated from the Starbucks Secret Menu list that I have and dedication to someone who has become my new favorite form of entertainment.
GRAV3YARDGIRL
Her name is Bunny, but she goes by Grav3yardgirl on facebook, Youtube, and Tumblr. (She also has a Twitter and an Instagram, but I don't have those.)
I love watching her Vlog Channel on Youtube. She always makes me laugh one way or another. A lot of her videos are about make up and fashion, but she also does "Does This Thing Really Work?" where she tests different as seen on TV items. Those are always interesting. Sometimes she let's us follow her around.
Either way, she's pretty funny, and I love the fact that she literally wears what she wants.
One of the things that I think is great about Grav3yard Girl, or Bunny, is that she considers her viewers as part of her "Swamp Family."
So as I was wandering around the strange world of the internet, I happened upon the "Swam Monster" a frappe inspired by her website and obsession with alligators.
Here's how you get your own swamp monster. This one is a grande just you know, although there aren't any pumps of anything to consider, so size doesn't matter.
My caramel drizzle looked like an alligator.
So After getting my green Frappuccino I took my pictures and then had to do a little sippy, sippy a la Bunny.
Before I tell you my verdict, let me tell you a little story. As I was getting my discomfiting green drink, the barista told me it was the Christmas tree frappe. She wasn't sure why, maybe because the caramel drizzle looked like tinsel and the drink was green.
I will tell you why.
It taste like a tree.
Or rather, it tastes how alfalfa smells, because I don't generally go around eating alfalfa.
But yeah, not good at all. I rued the day I got the grande, and threw it away half drank, valuable lesson learned though. For my next green tea frappe it's going to be a tall. Or maybe even a mini if they still have them. I'm I'm sorry if you like green tea Frappuccino, but I don't. Maybe if you got one and called it a Grinch because it was nauseating it might work.
Green tea should stay green tea, and a Frappuccino should stay a Frappuccino.
Narry the 'twain shall meet.
NARRY! I tell you.
But thankfully, Bunny isn't the one who came up with this thing... a swamp family member did. It does not fall under my recommended flavors. I'll just have to find a tye-dye or lavender drink since those are two of her favorite things and name it the grav3yardgirl.
Anyway, now, that you're done reading my blog, you should go check out Grav3yardGirl and give an alligator it's wangs.
