The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Been There Ornament – Ohio

Posted on

The latest addition to BTO family – Starbucks Been There Ornament Ohio. From the front:
– Cuyahoga River was so polluted in 60s that it “caught fire” once (1969)
– The Ohio Burgee – Ohio’s swallowtail flag is the only non-rectangular U.S. state flag. It was adopted in 1902
– The football helmet – am pretty sure this is related to the Ohio League which was an informal association of American football clubs active between 1902 and 1919. It is the direct predecessor to the modern National Football League (NFL).… Read more

You Are Here – Qatar

Posted on

New country mug – Starbucks You Are Here Qatar shows waves, sand and futuristic skyscrapers on the front. I am sure this is the skyline of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Did you know this country has the highest per capita income in the world? This is obviously due to the discovery of oil since before that, the economy of Qatar was focused on fishing and pearl hunting (the latter crashed by 1930, after the introduction of the Japanese cultured pearl onto the world market)

– apples – this is because apple is the leading fruit crop in the state
– beer – that’s for Milwaukee, the “Brew City” and the home of the four greats (Pabst, Miller, Schlitz, and Blatz)… Read more

You Are Here – Cambodia

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here Cambodia is another country mug from Asia. The front of the mug is mostly occupied by Ta Prohm – ancient temple located in Angkor. It was built between 12th and 13th centuries and it is also worth mentioning that the original name of this temple is Rajavihara – “monastery of the king”. It was included in UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992 and is now in pretty much the same condition in which it was found.… Read more

Been There – South Dakota 2

Posted on

I sincerely though we’re done with US Error mugs. Boy, was I wrong! Here comes Starbucks Been There South Dakota v2! The element which has been adjusted is word “pronghorn” instead of “prong horn deer”. And it is actually a valid fix, since pronghorn, the animal from the mug, is not a deer, and it’s closest living relatives are the giraffes and okapi.
Here’s side by side comparison of two mugs together:
