People Are Really Mad Over Starbucks Cups Again Right Before The Holidays
Some have even accused the coffee chain of “political brainwashing.”
It's Nov. 1! That means Halloween is over, Christmas is coming, and it's finally the most wonderful time of the year: the time when people get super pissed off about Starbucks holiday cups.

On Tuesday, Starbucks announced a new limited-edition cup featuring a "mosaic of more than a hundred people drawn in one continuous stroke." As you may have noticed, it's green, unlike the traditional "red cups" the coffee company serves every year around the holidays.
And there's a very simple reason why: These aren't the holiday cups. Instead, they are meant to "celebrate community."
"During a divisive time in our country, Starbucks wanted to create a symbol of unity as a reminder of our shared values, and the need to be good to each other,” Starbucks CEO and Chairman Howard Schultz said in a press release.
