I didn't know until a few minutes ago that for a few years Starbucks has changed to red cups for a period in the run up to Christmas. Apparently, the fact that it has stopped putting christmassy things on the red cups is "emblematic of Western Christian culture cleansing".

I laughed out loud when I saw that tweet.

Clearly not a fan then, granjura? wink

so agree- bitter and tasteless at the same time! And you ask for a small one, and it is the size of a swimming pool- yuk. This made it very easy to boycott due to the tax evasion indeed

how did you guess? lol

Will show off now- first had Starbucks coffee in downtown Manhattan way before it ever existed in the UK or anywhere in Europe. Huge heavy hearthenware mugs and horrible coffee- it was a real dive anyhow ;)
