Happy birthday, Starbucks Frappuccinos! To celebrate 20 years of its frozen concoctions, Starbucks has introduced a Birthday Cake Frappuccino. But you’ll need to move fast — it’s a limited edition being sold through March 30.

It’s experimental. It’s adventurous. It fires people up and engages their imagination,” the company website said.
