Hidden Starbucks advertising from Apple
During the presentation of the first iPhone in 2007, Steve Jobs called Starbucks to demonstrate the capabilities of the new smartphone.
Jobs used Google Maps to find a coffee shop near him and dial its phone number on his iPhone. Having reached the phone, the Apple CEO, in an absolutely serious voice, ordered four thousand lattes to go, then apologized, explained to the operator that he was joking and had the wrong number, and then hung up to loud laughter from the audience.
It turned out to be a very funny hidden advertisement for one of the most famous coffee companies in the world.

Company's mission
Today, Starbucks coffee shops can be found in 67 countries, and the total number of outlets already exceeds 22 thousand. The total number of network personnel is 140 thousand people.
Starbucks sells organic coffee, espresso-based drinks, a variety of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, coffee beans, tea, and accessories for preparing and serving coffee.
But company CEO Howard Schultz isn't talking about coffee.
Starbucks coffee shops do not sell coffee. They sell a third place between home and work, where a person would feel comfortable. Howard Schultz
This is one of the company's missions - to provide a comfortable place to relax. The most surprising thing is that the atmosphere of a coffee shop and its menu may differ depending on the country or even the city in which it is located:
- American Starbucks may not have a caramel Frappuccino on its menu.
- In Hong Kong you can buy freshly squeezed guava juice in branded bottles
- Caramel syrup is missing from Canadian menus
- In Vienna, visitors take off their shoes and climb up onto the sofas
- In Germany there are pancakes on the menu
- Dubai Starbucks is a real lounge-cafe where you can completely relax in chic leather chairs
- In New York you can find yourself in a cafe with a completely businesslike atmosphere, where everyone is working on their laptop.
- In Japan, Starbucks coffee shops can be found directly in bookstores
Despite the common attributes - Wi-Fi, green aprons, a table with spices, each Starbucks is a small, cozy world of good coffee lovers in its own way.
Today we will talk about unusual menu items that can only be tried in certain countries of the world. Go!

Red Bean Green Tea Frappuccino
Translation: Green Tea Red Bean Frappuccino Where sold: China and some Asian countries
Tea with beans sounds strange, of course. In Asian countries, adzuki (that's what beans are called in Chinese) is a common sweet. The beans are boiled with sugar, and sometimes sweet puree is made from it.
At Starbucks, sweetened red beans are placed on top of a Frappuccino whipped cream.
Tea based drinks
If you prefer tea, then Starbucks will find something to please you too. For example, quite recently, Rooibos Red Apple Tea Latte appeared for the first time in Russia, whose chilled version combines subtle shades of the original herbal tea and the juicy taste of apple syrup.
Rooibos Red Apple Tea Latte
For Frappuccino fans, Starbucks offers the Green Tea Frappuccino, already loved by many guests. The unique combination of matcha tea, vanilla syrup, ice, milk and whipped cream is a great alternative to coffee. Bright refreshing Green Tea Frappuccino will charge you with the summer mood!
Green Tea Frappuccino
Hojicha Frappuccino with Earl Gray Jellio
Translation: Japanese Green Tea Frappuccino and Earl Gray Jelly Where sold: Japan and some Asian countries
An interesting mixture of Asian and European drink culture.
The base is Japanese green tea (hojicha), which is roasted over charcoal. During the unique roasting process, its leaves change color from green to dark red. This roasting reduces the percentage of caffeine in tea.
Hojicha is infused into a specially prepared Earl Gray jelly, which is a combination of black tea flavored with bergamot peel and flower oil.
Teavana Shaken lemonades
Teavana Shaken Lemonade with iced tea and fruit syrups becomes a favorite refreshing drink for many Starbucks guests every year. So, in the summer heat, the tonic Ice Tea Lemonade, which can be prepared with black and green tea, will easily quench your thirst after long walks. And Mango Black Tea Lemonade, one of the most popular flavors of the season, continues to delight lovers of exotic fruits. New this summer is Raspberry-Apple Lemonade based on green tea, which is presented only in Russia. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the bright fruity taste of this soft pink drink!

Tiramisu Frappuccino
Translation: Tiramisu Frappuccino Where sold: Japan
This drink can now be found not only in the Land of the Rising Sun. This is a seasonal offer in some countries around the world. A standard Frappuccino is topped with cream cheese mousse and topped with cocoa powder.
The white version of the drink uses a caramel Frappuccino as a base and also adds cheese mousse. The top is sprinkled with cookies and chocolate chips.
Algarrobina Frappuccino
Translation: Algarrobina Frappuccino Where sold: Peru
Algarrobina is a sweet syrup obtained from the black carob tree. The syrup contains an amazing variety of vitamins and is often used in cocktails as a natural sweetener.
The drink is based on mocha coffee and chocolate chips, and topped with whipped cream and an unusual syrup.
White Peach Frappuccino
Translation: White Peach Frappuccino Where sold: Japan
The most unexpected thing is that, despite the name, there is no peach in this drink at all. Frappuccinos contain mango pulp, which is mixed with white mocha syrup, after which cream is added.
Surprisingly, the resulting mix tastes similar to white peach.
Yoghurt Frappuccino
Translation: Yogurt Frappuccino Where sold: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria
This seasonal drink first appeared on the Starbucks menu last summer. It is based on classic yogurt. The drink was available in three flavors: honey, strawberry and banana. Next summer you can expect new flavor fillings.
