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'

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.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
