Starbucks meets Hooked On Phonics - New Sleeves Suck
Okay, I don't know what the deal with is the spelling bee sleeves on the Starbucks cups.
I don't care for the colour or the silly self-improvment trivia. Bring me back the oh so naturel unbleached corrugated sleeves - you're wrecking the iconic design of the quintessential paper cup.
And on the top of self-improvement, I must defer to my mentor - Tyler Durden:
"Self improvement is masturbation. Now self destruction... "
-Tyler Durden
I want a luxury experience not hooked on phonics... I think someone totally misread what the brand represents to the consumer on this one.

I am a barista and agree that they are bad...they are slippery but the worst thing is you don't know what the word means. It drives us all nuts, what the hell does antediluvian mean...when i am kicking out 10 lattes a minute I can't look it up.
