The whole "secret menu" thing has blown up the last few years. That's where someone online comes up with a crazy new drink by mixing ingredients . . . like the Cotton Candy Frappuccino or Cookie Dough Frappuccino.
Now Starbucks is embracing that idea . . . by testing a new system that would let you order "secret menu" drinks online.
They're running a pilot program to see how it would work. But you probably can't be part of it. You have to be invited.
People who ARE invited will get to connect to the Starbucks mobile ordering system through Instagram and Facebook, where they can access two "secret menu" items.
One is called the "Venti Pink Drink Remixed," and the other is a "Grande Iced Matcha Tea Latte with Chai."
Once they pick one, they get a QR code baristas can scan to see the recipe. And if the system works, they might let the rest of us use it.
Their main goal is to make it easier for people to order all the crazy drinks fans come up with. And to make it easier on baristas, who might not know how to make a Skittles Frappuccino or a Hot Butterbeer Latte.
