Speaking with three plus years of corporate slavery coffee knowledge and practical experience behind me, I can tell you that the answer is latte.
Frappuccinos, while ordered by many cell-phone beemer bitches, is far more frequently ordered by teenagers, sorority girls, white trash, and people who don't even like coffee.
A latte, however -- especially a nonfat or sugar-free latte -- is even known as "the soccer mom" in some circles, because of its tendency to be ordered by affluent, social-climbing citizens, often of the female persuasion. It also is a very easily-customized drink (that is, it's easy to make it sound impressive while barking it to a harried barista) that can reek of sophistication and coffee couture.
Frappuccinos try to give that air of sophistication, but really they are slimy slushies, and barely coffee at all.
So, to be concise:
Frappuccino = teenagers, white trash Latte = soccer moms, yuppies
I totally agree, even though I have no real coffee knowledge. Frappuccinos are much more the high-schooler/sorority girl drink of choice. Iced coffee/frappuccinos are all over the place here, in the sorority capital of the world.
