I am not a regular at Starbucks. In fact, I live in one of the few places in the World that does not have Starbucks…yet.
I was surprised to hear that they ever sold plastic children’s cups that were made in China. From the description, they sound like the kind of thing that McDonald’s gives away with a Happy Meal. Giving things away would devalue the brand, so Starbucks was selling them for about $6.
Now they are recalling them because they can easily break and then the small parts present a choking hazard. If you bought one of the 250,000 cups, you might want to think a little more carefully about how to spend the $6 the second time. See if you can find a half pound of Fair Trade Organic Coffee from a local roaster who will sell it to you in a paper bag.
