Dunkin’ Donuts unveils holiday-themed cup amid Starbucks drama
Because it is November, Dunkin’ Donuts also unveiled their holiday-themed coffee cups, which include the word “Joy”, surrounded by evergreen branches.
If you’ve been in or near a Starbucks in the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed the coffee company has switched to their red “holiday” cups.
“Do you realise that Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups?”
Sarah Palin, her daughter Bristol, and the social media universe wants the world to know: It’s just a cup. We’re… not calling it that.
This year, Starbucks has chose to do a plain red cup. Here’s a few of their best work.
Trump, who is trying to attract evangelical support, threatened to retaliate by ending the lease of a Godless Starbucks in one of his buildings because he was so offended.
The Starbucks’ cups issue quickly rose that the company had released a statement in their website saying that the design is a hint for the “customers who have been doodling designs on cups for years”, according to The NY Times. He said the country would say “merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” if he is elected.
“So when I went in and asked for my coffee and they asked for my name and told I told them my name is “Merry Christmas”. Jeffrey Fields, Starbucks vice president of design and content, says the company is embracing simplicity.
Since 1997, we have served our holiday beverages in a unique red cup, each year and each design telling a different story. He said that the Starbucks cup controversy is going to be beneficial for the company. Another wrote, “For those upset w/ Starbucks: Dunkin’ Donuts still has Christmas cups. That I can tell you”. But they don’t have “Merry Christmas, ‘ they have ‘Joy.’ But I think they should put ‘Merry Christmas” on.
By making the decision to be holiday-neutral, Starbucks has actually made a strategic business decision to appeal to their diverse clientele.
