While visiting in Seattle last week, my friend Tina had a plastic Starbucks cup on her coffee table. Nothing unusual about that, until I picked it up and realized that is cup was much more than meets the eye. The cup was hard double walled plastic, had a screw on lid and a hard plastic straw.
First thought...I need one of those, right now!!
Tina said she would pick one up for me at the Starbucks in her office building the next morning. Yay!!! But, it didn't happen. She was busy at work and forgot to pick up my precious cup.
That night, Tina and I hit up a few local Starbucks to see if we would buy the cup. Nope, no one had them. When I asked the employee if they had any she replied, "No way...those went like crazy this season. Try online." Yikes...who knew this damn cup would be so hard to find?
Next stop...ask her husband Nick to pick one up for me the next day at work. Of course, it didn't happen. I even sent him a reminder text during the day. It is hard for me to believe that someone might have something a little more important going on during their work day than going to Starbucks to buy me a plastic cup :))
Now I am back in LA, without the precious plastic Starbucks cup. Sad :(
I looked on Amazon and eBay and was amazed to find out that people are selling these cups for up to $80 each. WOW...I had no idea.
Bottom line...I NEED this cup. Please help me...anyone. :))
