Starbucks Code Decoded: Dragonfruit Inclusions Now Officially Required
In a shocking turn of caffeinated events, Starbucks has officially legitimized 'inclusions'—not a made-up insult, but actual scoops of dragonfruit, strawberries, or blackberries costumed as fruit refreshers. Baristas everywhere now speak fluent upside-down, promising caramel macchiatos start with caramel instead of vanilla like some sort of beverage rebellion. On May 27, 2024, experts from the Starbucks barista underground confirmed 'skinny' orders magically swap your caramel mocha syrup with sugar-free and milk with nonfat, essentially magic for calorie-conscious caffeine addicts. Bonus trivia: 'Lte' on your cup doesn’t mean ‘lightly tired employee’ but 'light,' so you get less ice or less whipped cream. Prepare for doppio, half-caf, red-eye, and black-eye orders to confuse anyone over 30. And if you want your frappuccino to imitate an Italian gelato date, try the affogato style with espresso shot on top, because apparently caffeine chaos loves a little sophistication.

Starbucks just confirmed ‘upside-down’ isn’t them questioning reality but reversing syrup order so your caramel macchiato starts with caramel. Also, 'inclusions' are now fruit, not your lost dignity in line. Welcome to coffee code, humanity.
Ordering a ‘red-eye’ is basically telling Starbucks ‘I’m here to survive, not enjoy.’ Meanwhile, ‘skinny’ magically turns your caramel mocha into the dental hygienist’s wet dream.
Experts now advise ordering espresso 'long-shot' if you want a miracle weaker than your will to live before coffee—now with less water, because apparently hydration is optional.
