Unicorn Food’ Is Colorful, Sparkly and Everywhere -
By LIAM STACKAPRIL 19, 2017
Layers of pastels and sparkles have taken over everything edible across social media
and in real life as even Starbucks, with its “unicorn Frappuccino,” follows the trend of decorating food and drink in rainbow colors.
Ms. Waugh inadvertently helped start the trend last year after experimenting with
a natural food dye — beetroot — to “add a pop of color to my photos,” she said.
Starbucks began selling “unicorn Frappuccinos” on Wednesday, a colorful kaleidoscope of a drink, breathing new life into a food trend
that had been willed into existence by a torrent of carefully composed pictures shared on Instagram and other social media sites.
