The holidays are just around the corner. Christmas lights are being hung, presents are being wrapped, and people are making stupid videos about their anger towards a red cup.
Starbucks released their new edition of their commonly known holiday cups. Instead of including any decorations like previous years, their cups for 2015 are now just solid red. People are up in arms over this saying that they are ruining holiday traditions. Starbucks changed the cups to this very minimalistic design in order to not offend anyone that may celebrate differently than the typical Christmas celebration. The purpose is not to offend anyone however it is doing the exact opposite. People are showing their rage in many different ways. Some are posting rants all over social media and others are telling the baristas their name is "Merry Christmas" in order to put the holiday back on the cup. Honestly, this is all extremely stupid. It's a cup!! There are way bigger issues going on in our society that we should express this anger towards. A coffee cup is not one of these issues. I can't even really recall the cups prior to the year 2015. I do hold some value in the Starbucks red cups because it's part of what I consider to remind me of the holiday season. I just don't see the point in getting upset over the change of it. They are still red and serve the main purpose. As time goes on things are going to change, this is just one of those times.
