First it was those meaningless red cups, and now this?!
Starbucks’ latest front in the war on Christmas, if we are to believe the droves of knee-jerk “activists” on Twitter, come in the deceptively evil form of a sugar cookie.
Baked deep into these delicious doughy delights is the coffee giant’s message: death to Christmas.
How about we take this to the next level?

Except there’s one relevant detail these folk (and there are many, many similar posts decrying foul play across social media) may want to keep in mind: The cookies in question were part of the 2010 holiday menu at Starbucks, and haven’t been sold since.

I hope these people are trolling and not seriously crying about cookies. America is full of adult babies with sh|tty diapers. I dunno if social media is to blame or people were always this stupid flying under the radar with no platform to air said stupidity.

A scarf. Some people are stupid. These are probably the same people crying about Reese’s Christmas trees. Yes they say they don’t look like trees… It was a huge outrage lol. Ridiculous!

You can’t do anything in this “new modern world” without somehow offending someone and then getting Ridiculed then being crucified for it
