So it has been brought to my attention that there is apparently a different version of STCF in the UK. You guys apparently also have fruity frappuccinos like mango passion. The question is how would I make these here (I'm in the US) with the supplies we have? I kind of want to try some of these out. We have passion tea and orange mango juice (for the smoothies). Is it just these 2 blended with ice? Any milk or cream base?
Any UK baristas on this?

We have 2 fruity fraps, mango passion and raspberry blackcurrant. They are made with a premade mix up to the second line, and then passion tea or zen tea respectively to the third line. Ice, blend. The juice mix already has a thickener in so no bases needed. These things are amazing because they take no time at all to make.
Unlike the **** mocha cookie crumble fraps we have as a summer promo which have a million steps to make and take about 25 minutes each.
Pump coffee, add milk, pour in blender pitcher, add mocha, add vanilla syrup, add frap chips, add ice, add coffee base, blend. Pour in cup, add whip, add **** brown dust that adds nothing but time to the damn thing. Lid. Serve. Look to queue of drinks and see that 6 more of the same thing have built up in the time it took you to make that one.

I'm not sure what your strawberries and creme is like, ours is made as follows: Milk to first line, ice, creme base. Blend, pump strawberry sauce into pitcher and give a swirling action, when you pour it into the cup you should have a marbled red and white effect. Quite nice actually and quick to make.

Do not get me started on the mocha cookie crumble fraps.
Frappuccino Happy Hour. 50 orders every half hour. All with multiple fraps. Half of which are **** cookie crumble. And not a single customer who knows the difference between the mocha and the chocolate.
Oh, and the one customer who ordered 9 MCCFs, I kinda hope you choked on that garbage.

Yea the UK STCF looks pretty good. Ours, like stagworks said, is just all blended together. It looks like pepto bismol. And god I hate mocha cookie crumble fraps. takes like 10 seconds to say (even without customizations) and 5x as long to make -.-
Also, totally jealous of all the stuff you guys have in the UK.

Oh god, frap happy hour was the WORST, I **** HATE MCCF, such a pain in the balls to make. I've just started putting everything into the cup (base and all) and blending it just to save time. I had about 20 fraps in a row last night, was going to kill someone!

Haha, every time a customer stumbles over the name of the MCCF I just tell them "don't worry, I can't say it either". It's like it was designed to be as much of a pain in the **** to make as possible, right down to the stupid dry inclusion container things that bounce closed again if you open them too fast, and then you have to one-scoop-two-scoop-three-scoop-four-scoop the chips in. I just pour the chips into a paper cup and each frap gets a more or less random amount poured in...
We don't have classic syrup here in the UK so I'm guessing our strawberry sauce is more sweet than the American stuff or something.

I think the strawberry sauce might be the same and the US version is just sweeter.
Since we're on US/UK differences... I've had Americans asking for "half sweet" hot chocolates recently. Is there a syrup in the American version of hot chocolate, or do they just want fewer pumps of mocha?

1/2 sweet is just 1/2 the pumps of the mocha sauce. I'm surprised that more people don't ask for 1/2 sweet over there given how sweet the mocha is
