Oh come on. There’s gotta some sort of controversy over Starbucks new Spring cup design. Where are all the Easter peeps complaints or is it all saved for Christmas bitchin’? – PB/TK
Starbucks honors Twitter trolls with new cups. No, it’s actually celebrating spring – BY BRIAN MURPHY March 10, 2017
Starbucks, which generates similar levels of controversy and publicity with its annual cup design changes during the holiday season, is going pastel for spring.
The ubiquitous coffee company unveiled its seasonal cup designs for spring, a first for Starbucks, which has designed summer, fall and winter cups in the past. The new cups will be available on March 16. Spring begins March 22.
The soft spring green (Tall), blue (Grande) and yellow (Venti) were chosen based on Pantone’s spring 2017 trend report, according to Bustle.com.
The cups have a blank space for doodling, though some note the resemblance to Twitter’s egg avatar, which is associated with trolls on the social media platform. (And by some, we mean everyone, as Mashable points out.)
