Stephen Colbert tackled the recent controversy surrounding Starbucks’ plain red cup that has left a few customers feeling bitter this holiday season on Wednesday’s The Late Show.
“By creating cups that specifically message the Joy of the Christmas Season – in sharp constrast to Starbucks” “blank canvas’ – Dunkin’ Donuts has specifically welcomed Faith Driven Consumers, and all Americans who love Christmas”.
The Los Angeles Times quoted Joshua Feuerstein in an email he sent to Washington Post, in which he said that the cup was a larger war against Christianity in America by not including traditional festive designs. “Maybe we should boycott Starbucks”, Trump said/The Hill.
But what they meant was: “CHRISTMAS IS RUINED IF CORPORATIONS DON’T TRY TO USE IT TO SELL ME SH*T!!!!!!” “I don’t know. Seriously, I don’t care”, Trump said at a campaign rally.
“I think Donald Trump should lighten up”, de Blasio said.
“Even if you had zero approval and the design was finished, it would still take at least a month or two months to get it printed and distributed”, Dave Tupper, creative director of the design agency Huge, told NBC News.
During his own possible presidency, Trump promised, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying “Merry Christmas” again”. Now, the famous cups resembled any ordinary red cup, only that it bears the green logo of Starbucks – nothing more, nothing less.
“We’re embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it. It’s a more open way to usher in the holiday”, Jeffrey Fields, Starbucks vice president of design and content, said in a statement.

A company rep adds: “Since 1997, we have served our holiday beverages in a unique red cup, each year and each design telling a different story”.
