The line debuted with three flavors \u2014 Salted Dark Chocolate, Toasted White Chocolate, and Caramelized Vanilla Honey. The review below is for the first two.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>The good news is that they taste like bottled Starbucks Frappuccino, which is perfectly fine because I happen to like the line as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>However, the flavors are so nondescript among other ready-to-drink Starbucks beverages that I could secretly pour the Toasted White Chocolate one into a bottle of Starbucks Mocha White Chocolate Frappuccino or a can of Starbucks Vanilla Doubleshot Energy and the Salted Dark Chocolate one in a bottle of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino or a can of Starbucks Mocha Vanilla Doubleshot Energy, then hand it to you, and you wouldn\u2019t know any better after taking a sip.<\/p>\n<p>I notice a slight saltiness with the dark chocolate one, but I can\u2019t tell there\u2019s cold brew in either flavor. But we have no idea how much a \u201csplash of cold brew\u201d is. It doesn\u2019t sound like much, though.<\/p>\n<p>Even though these are creamy, sweet, and delicious bottled coffee beverages, I find these Starbucks Frappuccinos with Cold Brew to be dumb. What? I\u2019m dumb? No, you\u2019re dumb, Starbucks Frappuccinos with Cold Brew.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201csplash of cold brew\u201d in a beverage that already contains coffee sounds like adding a splash of tap water to seltzer. There\u2019s a difference between the two, but it doesn\u2019t seem to make a difference. If it had only cold brew, then that would be significant.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>If I didn\u2019t know PepsiCo makes these and that the PepsiCo Beverage Facts website exists, I might\u2019ve had a hard time finding out how much caffeine these have, which is 95 milligrams in each one. The glass bottles don\u2019t mention anywhere this critical information that caffeine-needy minds want to know.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular bottled Starbucks Frappuccino beverage drinker, you\u2019ll enjoy these. But if you\u2019re expecting something different from what you\u2019ve been already drinking, these may disappoint you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.63 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 13.7 fl. oz. bottles<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Target<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10 (Salted Dark Chocolate)<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10 (Toasted White Chocolate)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 bottle) <strong>Salted Dark Chocolate<\/strong> &#8211; 260 calories, 5 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 270 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 43 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein. <strong>Toasted White Chocolate<\/strong> &#8211; 290 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 230 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 44 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Starbucks Frappuccino with Cold Brew?
