Starbucks Unicorn Frappucino
Whaaaaat? No!
Well I will say I'm sorta biased. I work in international development where we help small scale coffee farmers around the world. (True fact: most coffee farmers are very poor...companies like Starbucks actually do a LOT to fight global poverty by helping farmers grow good quality coffee that sells for good prices.)
But yeah. Coffee ain't going anywhere!
But have you ever wondered how the idea first came up to roast this bean and make it into a drink?

Actually, we have goats to thank for it!
According to legend (no clue of the truth here), a shepherd in Ethiopia noticed that his goats became very hyper after eating the berries of a particular bush. The shepherd tried them and noticed he had much more energy. A passing monk, who'd been having trouble falling asleep during prayers, tried brewing the berries into a drink, and thus coffee was born.

IMHO, what you said is not offensive but some people take offense when they feel guilty about something. I think I've done that myself and then have to pause and ask myself why I am feeling that way. Usually it isn't what or how the person said something, but because of my own internal feelings about it. BTW, I don't think anything that sugary is healthy either especially if consumed on a regular basis.

Well a little boy some where in America agrees with you and says exactly what he thinks of the unicorn frapp!!
If you havnen't seen this its worth watching and all of us on here should agree in the sense of sugar consumption. People are to afraid to hear the truth!!
