Starbucks started its holiday cup tradition in 1997--so “this year's design is another way Starbucks is inviting customers to create their own stories with a red cup that mimics a blank canvas.†It’s also worth noting previous Starbucks red cups lacked any outright Christian symbolism.
Jeffrey Fields, Starbucks vice president of design and content, said in the release that in the past the holiday cups have told stories. This year, Starbucks “wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories," Fields wrote. He said that the coffee chain “has become a place of sanctuary during the holidays,†so it’s “embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it.â€

The coffee at places like Seven/Eleven and Dunkin Donuts tastes a lot better and is a lot less expensive.
But do they have a Christmas cup? No. They you are a hypocrite.
There, fixed it.
Someone posted a YouTube video- when they ask your name and write it on your cup- she said her name was "Mary Christmas"
In-and-Out Burgers have scripture references on their containers every day of the year.
I avoid Starbucks like the plague.
Starbuck’s sounds like galactic money.
When I need spiritual guidance I go to Starbucks, and when I need some coffee I go to church. Or is it the other way around?
In and Out burger is not even near as large as Starbucks. I have never been to one even though I have heard they are a great place to eat but they are in a very small area of the country.
I don’t understand why people are willing to shell out five bucks for a cup of burnt coffee from a bunch of brain dead commies.
Coffee at McDonals’a is pretty good and it’s consistent quality between locations. Not to mention way cheap compared to these fancy java joints I’ve never been...
They are in the business of destroying Christian Worldview in the ignorant masses.
Create your OWN REALITY-—which promotes the postmodernism of ignorance of all Traditions and removal of all the Wisdom of the Ages so the Fichte-type Malthusian Marxists/Satanists (and Fertility Goddess worshippers) can recreate a “utopia” (Brave New World) where Up is Down and Slavery is Freedom and Sodomy is a Virtue.
Removal of all history-—so they can reinvent boys and girls—and the family and Good and Evil.
It is to erase Reason and elevate EMOTIONS to the irrational —the Kumbayi earth worship where babies can be killed and sacrificed and boys can be safely sodomized for their “Man/Boy “Love” homosexual muslim/Samurai pagan cultures, where Vice is Virtue. and Slavery is Freedom.
Yeah and in the SciFi redeaux, SHE was on Battlestar Calactica
McSpaz. Facepalm.
I’ve been getting coffee for nearly 30 years. I don’t think I ever took the time to look at the paper cup it comes in. Should I?
if you are a conservative that spends one dime at this place, you need to wake up. you can get coffee ANYWHERE. there absolutely no excuse for conservatives to ever purchase anything Starbucks ever.
Yep.
Nothing like looking over at the mini table next to you watching pajama boy furiously typing away on his Mac, responding to a Free Republic topic.
Did not know about the CEO.
The bitter, overpriced tasting coffee, yes. I don’t get the lure to this place for that reason alone.
The constant barrage of leftist pansy-speech in every aspect of life has become unbearable.
Here are just a few that come to mind:
“welcomes all of our stories”
“an important narrative”
“a place of sanctuary”
“a place of comfort”
“we must have that conversation”
“People of color”
“justice involved youths”
“troubled inner-city youth”

“marginalized”
“social justice”
“shared responsibility”
“address the root causes of .....”
“economic (or fiscal) responsibility”
“revenue enhancements”
“Global Community”
“challenged” (as in mentally challenged, visually challenged, ethically challenged)
“undocumented workers”
“foreign-born” population”
“Americans in waiting”
“residentially challenged”
“disadvantaged”
“disenfranchised”
“food insecure households”
“under-served communities”
“suboptimal outcome” (failed)
“deferred success” (flunked)
“negative gain” (lost)
“the greater good
“part of something larger
“access” (I want some of what you’ve got)
“empowerment”
“cultural proficiency”
“under-represented”
“gender reassignment”
Ditto here.
It attracts the hip crowd with its trendy atmosphere, music, not to mention Wifi access, comfy furniture-—always appealing to students despite their high prices.
The New York Slimes in every store has also been a big turn off to me.
At least what was in the Red Solo Cup Toby Keith referred to was a pleasure to drink!
