The Bucks Gone Wild…
Posted on | September 10, 2006 | No Comments
I always liked the fact that Starbuck’s logo was a mermaid. 98% of the connoisseurs of Seattle based coffee chain, couldn’t tell you that, But with their recent retro-throwback coffee cups, I’m sure more people are taking notice. As a part of their 35th anniversary, the bucks have changed the logo on their coffee cups in the Oregon/Washington area.
The original mermaid logo depicts Starbucks, the twin tailed mermaid, topless. A school principal noticed the change in logo and identified the topless ta-ta’s, and recommended all her teachers to cover the logo with a hot sleeve while at school.
Random Fact: Starbuck’s was actually not named after mermaid/siren in Greek mythology, but Captain Nemo’s first mate, in “Moby Dick”.
