The pumpkin spice one was around last year, but the other two, I think, are new. But they all look delicious. (Spotted by Carla at Food 4 Less.)

Cheaper than chugging a bottle of maple syrup. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Frappula Frappuccino

Starbucks Frappula Frappuccino

Vampires suck blood from necks. Starbucks’ new vampire-themed Frappula Frappuccino allows you to suck blood-looking raspberry syrup with a straw.

The Frappula Frappuccino is made with white chocolate sauce, milk, and ice blended together then layered between mocha sauce and whipped cream. Raspberry syrup is drizzled around the rim and that layer is topped with more whipped cream.

Stores in the U.S. will offer the blended beverage between October 28-31 and Canadian locations will offer it from October 28-November 1.

This is the second year in a row Starbucks has offered a Halloween-themed Frappuccino. Last year, the chain offered the green tea Franken Frappuccino.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Hubba Bubba Hot Cocoa Bubble Gum

Never got to try Hershey’s Chocolate Bubble Yum Gum from a few years ago, so I’m eager to find out how strange chocolate-flavored gum can be. (Spotted by Rene at Family Dollar.)
