【I Am a Plaything】

Do you remember when we all downloaded Pokémon Go?I Am a Plaything It was July.

We'd even go on walks just to catch Pokémon!

But then, we had to download a new podcast episode or take a selfie but our devices were out of space. And in the heat of the moment, we deleted Pokémon Go. We assumed we'd re-download it later, but as we told ourselves that, it became clear we'd already moved on.

Should you find yourself 14 years old and in a mall, the Pokémon Go Frappuccino is a "Vanilla Bean Frappuccino® blended beverage and raspberry syrup blended with freeze dried whole blackberries and topped with whipped cream.”

It's available for a limited time, so Pokémon Goto Starbucks.

(Remember, too, when Hillary Clinton told us to "Pokémon Go to the polls," and we were like, "Haha! How fun! But we'll see, I might be busy November 8th," because the impossible still seemed impossible?)

Our biggest question is what took Starbucks so long? Was there a wait for nostalgia to set in, or did it take five months to get the flavor juuuuust right?
