Starbucks rolls out Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino

Starbucks has taken quite a liking to Australia lately — first, it brought the signature Aussie flat white to American stores. Now, it's giving Australian customers an exclusive first taste of its new Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino.

The brand describes the drink as "ice-cold creaminess swirled with our signature strawberry puree and a crunchy layer of cookie crumble," topped with "cheesecake-inspired whipped cream, swirls of strawberry sauce and a few shakes of more cookie crumbles."

Not everyone is happy about the new offering, though — one Reddit user posted a photo of the syrup Starbucks allegedly uses in the drinks, which is unfortunately named "cheese" syrup.
