No regular mug has been released for Romania, nonetheless here’s the picture of Starbucks You Are Here Christmas – Romania. In other words, Starbucks went straight ahead with Holiday Edition. While waiting for a better pics, I can only recognize Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest. It was designed and supervised by a team of 700 architects with the Anca Petrescu being the head architect. The construction has started in 1984 and even now it’s still not completed. Unfortunately there are some dark sides of it, as it was ordered by Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, who needed it at any cost.… Read more
We’ve seen Cyprus mug this summer and it’s time now for a city, Starbucks You Are Here – Limassol. If you compare these two you will see, that they are very similar in the design and color scheme – it’s all about the sea, sun and beaches. … Read more
Not a city nor a state, but rather the attraction. Been There – Universal Studios Hollywood mug gets orange box, similar to PPM, released earlier this year. It’s exceeded my expectations in terms of release date and I like the design. What do you guys think?… Read more
Check this out, guys. Not an error fix, but an adjustment, to satisfy people’s requests. Here’s Starbucks Been There Ornament – Arizona v2 as it was predicted in my previous post. As you can see below, “The Sand Hill State” is finally gone and replaced with the lizard. I wonder if it receives the positive feedback from Arizonans now.
Along with the Italy YAH, Starbucks has released You Are Here – Milan mug as well. This is the only Italian city Starbucks has the store in so far, but more are expected to come soon. Despite of the grand opening, on-site roastery and incredible interior design of the store, it is yet remains to be seen, whether Starbucks can acquire its niche on the Italian market.… Read more
Here’s Starbucks You Are Here – Italy mug. It took Starbucks 47 years to open its first store in Italy. The reason is pretty obvious – Italians take coffee seriously and prefer drinking espresso on the run. They come to coffee shop or bar, order their espresso, drink it fast, pay and leave. It takes 5 minutes and this is quite different compared to the behavior of the common Starbucks customer. To be honest with you, I find myself disappointed with the lack of free space in Starbucks stores quite often.… Read more
I somehow missed to add this mini mug to the site, and it’s a shame, because this one is special, since Starbucks Been There Ornament – Pike Place can only be bought in one store – The Pike Place Starbucks store, commonly called the Original Starbucks. That particular store has obviously found it’s place on the mug. The string is green.… Read more
Again we see “fixed” design, brought by Holiday Edition mug. Here’s Starbucks Been There Christmas – North Carolina, where “WHITE WATER FALLS” became “WHITEWATER FALLS”. The change is very subtle and I am not even sure, whether this results in replacing the design of the regular BT mug. Stay tuned, to find out if this happens.
Starbucks Been There Christmas Arizona mug reveals some interesting details. Take a look at the image below, where I compare the BT Arizona and it’s Holiday Edition. See how “The Sand Hill State” nickname was replaced with a lizard (I was not able to identify which exactly that one is). And the reason for this change is the numerous complaints from Arizona residents who refused to accept this design. Apparently it went viral and Starbucks decided to update the mug, to make everyone happy.… Read more
