If you like the strawberry chocolate flavor combination, then this new Strawberry Chocolate Frappuccino from Starbucks should be right up your alley. It consists of a milk base along with strawberry sauce and chocolate chips, and then comes topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I feel like it's a good mix of being fresh and fruity but indulgent-feeling at the same time, so if you sometimes struggle picking between those two flavor profiles then this might be a good compromise option that meets in the middle.

The key negative with this frappuccino is (as usual) the price. Even though I find these drinks to be a fun treat, even when I like a flavor I would never purchase it more than once, and that's really a reflection of how much they cost. 745 yen is a full meal at a lot of places, with much more nourishment than a frap is going to provide me with. Overall, I still think it's a really yummy drink, and I liked that mix of fruity-fresh yet indulgent...but the cost is a lot for what it is. I don't think it has enough of a "wow" factor to charge that much for it.
