Customer slamming Starbucks this year on social media over the polar bears cookies that they sold every year since 2009.
This year according to the whiners its a darker red.
Here is some of the comment
Quote:
Holy * , Starbucks went pretty * dark this holiday season. Oh wait, that's supposed to be a scarf?
Quote:
Starbucks is getting dark this Christmas. Polar bears look like they got Catelyn Stark'd.
Quote:
i'm going to starbucks tomorrow and buying one of those dead polar bears
Quote:
#Starbucks you had one job to make nice Christmas biscuits - slashed polar bear throats are not festive!
Quote:
These polar bear cookies at Starbucks look like they've all had their throats slit.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Starbucks employees themselves were told to get on social media and start complaining about the polar bear cookies in order to sell them.
It may be cynical but unfortunately that's how modern guerilla marketing works.
These people looked at these cookies and immediately thought blood, death and murder? It seems like anything festive is picked apart at the most minute scale. Clearly a scarf on the polar bears. These are the type of people who cannot be happy unless they are upset. Its' clear most of the fruitcakes will not be on the dinner table this season but on a mission to bury anything festive by going on and on with crazy talk. Ignore em. Let them go on Jerry Springer and voice their thoughts. Incredible.
I saw an article about this this morning and stared at the picture for a couple minutes before realizing what's "wrong". (The headline didn't say, just said that there was outrage over the cookies so naturally I looked to find what was so offensive.) And even then I was like "oh the scarf kind of looks like blood, like its neck was cut open, hmm." But I didn't care. I'm not "outraged." I would still buy the cookie, because even though it's a scarf that looks like blood, it's neither an actual scarf nor actual blood and it's all going to my stomach anyway. Some people need to get lives.
