Starbucks getting the jump on some Black Friday-style stupidity and hype.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

This just adds to the other zillion reasons we will not get near a Starbutts.

Life is too short to consume Starbutts.

Don’t forget about the influencers as well.

I wonder if any of the same people scrambling for these also voted for a certain socialist in a certain major American city…

[CondoleezzaProtege]

These bears are definitely cuter and more worthwhile than other things Starbucks has offered up in the past! 🧸🍯☕️

[No name given]

Most likely.

[Liz]

Very cute item.

[Allegra]

That’s what people are flipping out over??

They must be putting Retard Juice in all the Starbucks drinks.

[Steven Scharf]

But not worth $30.

[mairdie]

Adorable. Almost makes me want to try a Starbucks for the first time.

They look very similar to what we had up here in the great white north for Kraft Peanut Butter jars ages ago now. There were a number of styles. Here are a couple.

[matt04]

Yes. Next question.

[Apparatchik]

Peoples is stoopid.

Yes I brought a very nice cup thermos at the local thrift store.

For 50 cents.

Wait a couple of year they well be the same price there.

Bear? What happened to the fish-tailed chick? Gone the way of the Land O'Lakes squaw Indian indigenous person?

[gundog]

Yet, some would likely kill for one of them.

[Ditto]

Some people need a life. I used to buy honey in a jar that looked like that.

[tumblindice]

Can you eat 1000 year old honey?
Yes, honey that is 1000 years old can still be edible due to its unique properties, and archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey that was still safe to eat.
You can put honey on a wound. It acts like an antiseptic.
$30 for a little glass bear. Many of these purchasers (I imagine) are millennials who just can’t seem to come up with the down for a home purchase ...
Why, when I was a young man (grumbling continues)
