Such a terrible economy, Americans are struggling.
Identical bears......S/bucks copycats.
Years ago, when GW Bush was president we had a guy in our office who would blame Bush for anything and everything. He'd always stand around in the morning with a cup of that Starbucks swill bitching about something. One morning it was the price of gasoline… I think it was like $1.90 then… and he'd go on and on. One day I had enough and I asked him how much the Starbucks cost and it turns out that little cup of burnt coffee cost him more every morning than the gas he burnt getting to work and getting home.
I had plastic sippy cups kinda like that when I was a kid.
I think they’re cute...

In all honestly, when the 'Beannie Baby' craze was in full throttle, I DID drive through Mc Donald's every lunch break to get a Happy Meal so my BFF could MAYBE get a specific 'Beanie' that her kids needed for their 'collection.' *Rolleyes*
I just went on ebay and there is a mug on there like this one for $79.99 plus $9.99 shipping. I didn’t look to see if anyone is bidding on it.
I had co-workers like that in my office. One in particular thought I was like Chevy Chase, until she asked, “Wasn’t Maher *funny* last night?!” And I got tired of playing, replied, “I don’t watch that [expletive deleted]. He’s an [another expletive deleted] with arms.”
They always assume that you must agree with them, whatever the topic, whether “global warming” the plight of the homeless, welcome refugees, whatever.
She left me alone after that exchange.
Guy passes us (I’m just a kid OK?) in a jalopy with expensive chrome wheels, jacked rear end, Dad points, says, “Bet he doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from.”
The older I got, the smarter he got. (And he was even grumpier than me ...)
Staaaahhhhp!!!! 🤣
Can I use my EBT to buy one?/s
Cabbage Patch Coffee Cup.
I'm still a bit surprised the feminazis haven't called out Starbucks over their logo. If a normal woman with legs was in the same pose as the mermaid, what would that imply?
The chick is still there, and is performing a dance on the bear’s lap if you zoom in on the photo.
You’re right. It’s worth 100 dollars. I’m gonna corner the market on them and be rich.
At least they are cute..
I mean, it is cute if you are under ten. Maybe 14 if you are female.
But I don't think people are shopping for stocking stuffers for their kids.
If they are then ok and I apologize for jumping to conclusions but some how I don't think I am.
And now I can't unsee it.
