Starbucks released its new unicorn smoothie on the 20th of this month, and bright and lovely colors set off a craze everywhere. The popularity of Starbucks baristas makes them miserable. Braden Burson, a 19-year-old barista who works at Starbucks, recently released a film complaining that it is difficult to make, that the pace of production has lagged far behind the large number of orders and made him collapse.

The new unicorn smoothie is a combination of pink and blue, sour and sweet with whipped cream and Starbucks special fairy powder. Braden Burson says making a unicorn smoothie makes his hands sticky and his clothes and hair sticky with leftover drinks.

Braden Burson didn't expect his film to get so much response, nor did he try to get people to boycott the drink. He said it was a good drink, but it was crushing for him when a large number of customers poured in and endless orders were made.

Starbucks said on Thursday that the unicorn smoothie was more popular than anyone expected and that they would do better by learning about Braden Burson, but Braden Burson said no one had approached him yet.
