Discovery Series Ornament – Pennsylvania

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament Pennsylvania is a mini-mug for a State that holds a central place in American history, shaped by early settlement, industry, and ideas that helped define the nation. Founded in 1681 by William Penn as a place of religious freedom, the colony quickly grew into an economic and political force. Cities such as Philadelphia played a key role during the American Revolution, while the state later became a powerhouse of manufacturing, railroads, and steel. Over time, Pennsylvania evolved into a landscape of rivers, farmlands, towns, and cultural traditions that reflect both its colonial roots and industrial legacy.… Read more

Starbucks Discovery Series – Temple University is a mug for the educational institution founded in 1884 by Russell Conwell as a night school for working-class citizens with a humble vision inside the original Baptist Temple.

Discovery Series Ornament – Philadelphia

While chasing the AC ornament, I made a quick drive to Philly to pick up the Discovery Series Ornament – Philadelphia as well. I have to admit, the color choice for the title on this mini mug isn’t ideal, as it blends into the dark green circle common to all ornaments in the Discovery Series. That said, it does look better in person.

Philadelphia has been at the heart of American history since before the country was born. Founded in 1682 by William Penn, the city quickly became a center of politics, commerce, and ideas.… Read more

Been There – Pennsylvania 2

Here’s a long-due release of Been There – Pennsylvania 2 mug. And just to give you some context, the mini-version (ornament) was updated to v2 a long time ago. Similar to that release, Been There v2 brings the following changes:
– “Youse!” instead of “Youze!”. Both are used as an alternative form for “you” (singular and plural) in certain regions of the USA (and some other English-speaking countries).

Been There Ornament – Pennsylvania 2

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Ornament – Pennsylvania v2 is an updated version of the previously released mini mug. It brings two changes as far as I can see – the deer now says “Youse!” instead of “Youze!”, “TURN-PIKE” has the dash in the name. It seems that most of the recent changes for Been There mugs are related to dashes, I see them everywhere. That being said, it seems like a valid reason to release the second version, do you guys agree?… Read more
