TikToker Hilariously Throws Barista Off By Ordering Her Starbucks 'Light Skin, Like Chris Brown'

TikToker Hilariously Throws Barista Off By Ordering Her Starbucks 'Light Skin, Like Chris Brown'

Make us preferred on Google

For those of us who enjoy a good cup of coffee, most of us have our preferences when it comes to the beverage.

Whether it's hot or cold, super sweet or bitter, or over the top with whipped milk, we're bound to have a favorite combination.


Presumably, when we are ordering a coffee, there are common terms most of us use, like "dark roast" or "light milk" or "two scoops of sugar." But according to a recent TikTok, that hilariously might not be the case.

Quite the contrary, when Byronique of @the1stbarbie on TikTok places a coffee order, her focus is on the color shade of the drink, and her ordering methods might be surprising to some listeners.

You can watch the video here:

Gets em each and every time🤣🤣🤣 #starbucks #starbucksdrinks #starbuckssecretdrinkmenu #confused

While ordering her coffee, Byronique requested:

"Hi, can I have a tall iced coffee with oak milk? And can you make it light-skinned, please?"

The drive-thru employee was clearly confused:

"With what, I'm sorry?"

Byronique clarified:

"Light-skinned. You know, like light-skin, Chris Brown, light-skin drink."

Some found this exchange to be completely hilarious.

Some current and former coffee shop employees confirmed they'd heard orders like this, too.

This is certainly a creative way of placing a coffee order, and no one can deny that we can visualize exactly what the customer wants their drink to look like, which allows us to plan accordingly with the milk and sugar.

But what's particularly funny is how memorable an order like this is. Based on the employees who chimed in in the TikTok video comment section, they remember orders like this, whether it was placed by a regular, an every-once-in-a-while customer, or even a one-time order.

More than likely, the employee who could be heard during this video will remember this exchange, or at the very least, it gave her a story to share with her coworkers throughout the rest of that day.

AOC Uses Midterm Election To Perfectly Explain Where 'Millennial Cringe' Comes From To Gen Z

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.

Ted Cruz Roasted After Making Hilariously Bleak Realization Following Texas Midterm Elections

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after he realized he is the only statewide elected Republican left in his state after Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a Senate seat for the first time in decades.

In Texas, the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total. Gina Hinojosa also stunned the country after beating Greg Abbott to become the first Latina to be elected to serve as governor of the state.
