Starbuck logo parody Ariel mermaid I want to be where the coffee is shirt

Starbuck logo parody Ariel mermaid I want to be where the coffee is shirt featured a full-body shot of the Starbucks siren, but they cropped it because some people complained that it was sexual. Apparently, some people didn’t want to see a female figure spreading her legs, even if it was just essentially a fish. Around the same time the logo was cropped, a bunch of illustrated brochures explaining what the different drinks were pulled because some executive was convinced the illustrator subliminally added a penis in the foam. This was untrue and ridiculous many of us thought the main Starbucks marketing guy at the time thought way too long and hard about this stuff. The Frappuccino was originally inspired by a similar drink sold by the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It took years to get this recipe right; early versions tended to separate as the ingredients melt.
