1995

Starbucks introduced the “Frappuccino” in 550 stores. This name came about when Starbucks acquired The Coffee Connection in Boston. They sold a slushy drink made from a soft-serve machine and named it a “frappuccino.” Starbucks applied the name to their new drink. When it first came out it only had two flavors, coffee and mocha, and didn’t even have whipped cream on top.

Total stores: 677
