Starbucks Corp. is removing some less popular drinks from its US lineup, part of a broader plan to simplify the menu and serve customers faster.

The beverages getting the axe starting March 4 include several Frappuccinos, the royal English breakfast latte, and the white hot chocolate, according to a statement from the chain. The drinks didn’t sell much, were hard to make or were too similar to other offerings.
