Does a red cup without any other decorations, including snowflakes, Reindeer or a seasonal logo mean that there is a detrimental meaning behind it???? Why does everyone have something to complain about?? Not saying you but I saw this today in the newspaper and it was why is a red cup newsworthy?? Guess I am the stupidest person on earth. Maybe if you do not believe in God there are no seasons. NOT WORTH COMMENT

"If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's Me" was written by Jimmy Buffett.
Somehow seemed a little appropriate and should elicit the same response as Starbucks cups: "Who Cares?" :-) :-) :roll: :cry:

Evidently Donald Trump and his minions don't have enough to b***h about...cups aren't "Christmasy" enough. Geez, make your own coffee! :wink:

One pastor somewhere mentioned this issue somewhere and off we go... I find the red and green traditional colors of Christmas and have no issue what-so-ever with them- in fact I find them attractive!... nobody i have talked to has issue either? The real ruckus is from those that have issue with the perceived non-issue.
I will continue to avoid Starbucks... Because I have much better use for the gobs of money they charge... and find the whole thing of ordering all the confusing ingredients ridiculous- and suspicious- i mean how many times do you order something, to come up with the fifteen custom ingredients ???? - It's all about parading around the cup as a status symbol, while wearing ugg boots, toting ugly "G" logo'd Gucci handbags....
Now show me where Trump or his minions mentioned any of this! It all has an Orwellian tinge to it- nice to see the very same i***ts who fall lock-step into it opposing the non-issue.

<sigh...> Welcome to the annual War On Christmas Pageant. This red cup "scandal" is asinine, but then no more asinine than the usual tropes that the religious right trots out every year.
If you want to see the real "war on Christmas". visit your local Wal Mart on Black Friday, where you can watch the rubes get into fistfights trying to claw thier way to this seasons cheap Chinese crap on sale for an additional 10% discount.
Enjoy your coffee, no matter what color the cup is.
Happy Holidays!

Does not matter which cup you put Starbucks in won't drink it. I can by a pound of good coffee for the price of a cup of SB coffee, and it will not brew coffee with a burnt bitter taste.

Now there is something we can agree on.

I can agree with you that the "red cup "scandal" is asinine" as a multitude of Christians would also agree, Starbucks coffee in a red plastic cup is asinine and has nothing to do with Christ or Christmas. The Lady in the Logo certainly has nothing to do with Christianity as "she was: a 16th century Norse woodcut of a twin-tailed mermaid, or Siren."

I've never even tasted SB coffee, I don't like the taste of coffee so my "coffee" is always very flavored to cover the coffee taste. Nutty caramel k cups with caramel stevia!

All in all, there is no way Starbucks could have purchased the advertising that the media is providing for free. Gotta love it!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :lol: :lol:

Personally I've always been partial to "my head hurts, my feet stink and I don't love Jesus". I guess there is a Buffet song for every one.
