The company says in 1993 baristas in California began experimenting to develop an iced beverage but it wasn't until 1995 when Starbucks began offering the Frappuccino in stores nationwide and Canada.
Starbucks says the company today serves the blended beverage in 66 countries in a variety of drink combinations and credits the Frappuccino with drawing in non-coffee drinkers.
The Birthday Cake Frappuccino will only be available through March 30.
