The McDonalds Mocha Frappe

I had my first McDonalds Frappe this weekend and I have to say, I was not impressed.  I want to say "Starbucks has nothing to fear," but on the other hand, McDonalds has made a bazillion dollar a year industry out of delivering bland over-processed flavorless fat bombs to the undiscerning American public.  So maybe Starbucks SHOULD be worried.

I was curious about how this thing would be made, but most of the process took place behind a big black and silver machine that was clearly meant to look like a proper espresso bar's espresso maker.
