Remember the mid-’90s? A simpler time when Boyz II Men ruled the air waves and Frappuccinos were either coffee or mocha? Starbucks is marking the drink’s 20th anniversary with six new flavors of its iconic freezy pretty-much-a-dessert coffee beverage, most of which would look right at home on the Blizzard menu over at Dairy Queen. In the spirit of sunny afternoon office time wasters, here’s a quiz wherein you identify the actual new flavors amidst some gross-sounding sweet stuff I just made up.

 

Note: Other real Frappuccino flavors include Green Tea Creme, Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Salted Caramel, and S’mores.
