MR

Starbucks is having a happy hour promotion (3pm to 5pm) through next week for blended fraps at halfprice. I'm thinking of crossing the street over to Bob Hope Airport and getting one.
Anyone else enjoy these high calorie bastards or tried the skinny versions yet?

Could you get me a grande strawberry frap gunbot? Thanks bro

NO ...not something I would typically purchase, but @half price I may partake. You say there is a skinny version?!?!
If they make me skinny, I'll start drinking them every day!!

Isn't a Horchata more up your alley?

Nope, not a coffee drinker. Hot tea in the morning occasionally and unsweet ice tea,...sometimes green tea with honey... but most of the time I just drink lot's and lot's of water.

Oh for crying out loud. Stop it! You are not fat. Concern yourself with your health and not your size.

Hey, horchata is amazing. Cinnamon roll in liquid form

Horchata with a couple of sopes, can't go wrong.

I see by Gunny's pic they do have a soy strawberry so there might be a touch of healthy in it.

I bet they are getting a run for their money from McDonald's...their fraps are delicious!

Not my bag.

I just got the soy strawberry one. Not bad. They put a dash of vanilla bean in it to offset the taste. The 12 ounce with no whipped cream, around 250 calories (for those counting). The whipped cream takes it up to 350 calories so skip that if you're concerned.

Non fat milk in place of the soy drops 10 calories also.

LOL, so is coffee the new drink of choice at happy hour Unfortunately, I usually have my daily fix in the morning or early afternoon so I wouldn't benefit too much from this promo. I think alcohol still has it's place secured during evening hours Anyway, do you only get 50% off on the three flavors mentioned in the ad or is it any flavor? The black cherry mocha is amazing if they still offer it.

Yeah, at five p.m. a Black Russian would be more like it.

Any frap blend you want. It's from 3 to 5 so a tad earlier than a real Happy Hour.

I had a "heads up" on this deal while I was in one of these stores the other day. Maybe I'll go in and try a coffee-free frap today.

I didnt have my contacts in when i first read this, it look like it said "Half Price Fags"

Depending on where you are, half price cigarettes would probably be more popular then the half price drink down at Starbuck's.

You had me worried

So I gave in and went to get my 1/2 price frappuccino today...the barista kept saying it was 'frappy hour' I like that you can get nonfat milk now to cut the calories of the frapp in half, however it cuts the taste in half too. Even though it wasn't on the menu, I still was able to get the black cherry mocha but unfortunately it's much better in the full fat version

I love the Dark Cherry Hot Chocolates there.

Yeah, the hot dark cherry is good too. My all-time favorite flavor ever is eggnog, both hot & cold, offered during the holidays...I was so addicted to that Have you ever tried it?

I'll stick with some Maxwell House coffee and my Hazelnut creamer.

That's the cheap knock-off version

I wonder if they're offering them half price to try since they changed them from what I've heard? I don't get those, I always get a hot latte of some sort if I go to Sbux, but I've heard they changed the fraps and some people don't like the "new" ones, lol.

I love the peppermint mochas, dark cherry mochas, and white chocolate mochas, and I get them non-fat but the sugar content in those kills that "healthy" non-fat choice, lol. That's why they're a treat!
