There's a promotion going on at Starbucks! If you buy one Venti-sized Mocha Cookie Crumble or Soy Strawberries & Cream Frappaccino, you get a second one for free. The promotion only lasts within a 4 hour window though, from 3pm to 7pm so do take note. This post is coming in late, as the deal is only valid today and tomorrow...and as you know, today's almost done. So you only have tomorrow to enjoy this treat!
I went to the Starbucks branch at Parkway Parade slightly after 6pm. The queue wasn't too long when I got there. There were about 5 people, I think. But once you make payment, you have to wait for a significant period of time to actually get your drink. It's like buying a bubble tea from Koi, only the waiting time is slightly longer, and it's messier too, as they don't have numbers telling you when it's your turn to collect it. What the customers did was form a queue, which was quite good, I think.
Waited for my coffee for about 20 minutes? It's a long time, but I guess it's a sacrifice you make, since you're getting one cup of coffee for free. Each cup is quite pricey though, at $8.40, I think. Moreover, because you can only order the Venti size, this deal isn't good for those on a diet, like myself. The new flavours itself were only so-so. The Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap tasted like any other chocolate-flavoured frap; nothing special. The other flavour offered, Soy Strawberry & Cream Frappuccino tasted too artificial for my liking. Not good.
Overall, it's not really worth it? You should get bubble tea instead.
But I guess the thing about this two-for-one promotions is that...it's not something you can enjoy on your own. Go grab a friend, any friend, and use this as a pretense to meet up. Sometimes, we get shy to just ask a former friend out to catch up. This is where deals like this come in. It's an excuse; albeit a lousy one. Any reason to catch up with a friend is a good one though, so why the hell not.
