Niccol said. “What we’re seeing is people, you know, they want to have a special experience, and regardless of what your income level is. In some cases, you know, a $9 experience does feel like you’re splurging. And then, what that means is we have to make it worthwhile, right?”

You can reuse it like once but then it will get gummy

Ya. Buying Starbucks to use their paper cups at home makes no sense. You can buy hundreds of paper cups marketed for coffee for like $20

Not as dumb as people who spend money at starbucks.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They still did spend money at Starbucks, making it a dumb plan

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Their plan was pretty obviously satirical, considering the solution was just to look like you shop there while making your coffee at home.

It still involves shopping there at least once. Forget it.
