When Starbucks unveiled its limited edition Unicorn Frappuccino last week, the coffee company accurately guessed that people would come out in droves for the made-for-the-‘gram drink. As customers drove up Starbucks’ sales, the folks over at Tijuana-based La Elotería had a genius idea: make the salty, buttery, and creamy snack live up to its unicorn potential.

On Tuesday – the day before the unicornlote went on sale – the elotería teased customers with a photo of a pink-and-blue creation that looked more like dessert using the caption, “Don’t miss out and discover it’s flavor.” It’s unfortunately no longer available – La Elotería only offered it for one day, where it went crazy viral – but we now know that the flavor didn’t change. It was still drenched in mayonnaise, cheese, and crema, so it’s likely pretty easy to recreate.
