Been There – Philippines 2 – Summer Edition 2023

Posted on

What you’re seeing is the mug that popped up last summer and caused some confusion. At first glance, Been There – Philippines 2 – Summer Edition 2023 looked like the Christmas mug, outlined with black only. However, after a quick search, I found out that the somewhat official name of the new four Philippines mugs (see the last photo in this post) is “Summer Been There Series”. The cover is not different from the regular version and has no additional writing, however, the actual box is black.… Read more

You Are Here – Ho Chi Minh City 2

Posted on

Absolutely out of nowhere, You Are Here Ho Chi Minh City 2 was revealed to the world. I am tired of sounding like a broken record, but Starbucks managed to surprise me again! And the reason no one was expecting this, is that Starbucks already released Been There version of the mug for this city more than three years ago!
You Are Here Ho Chi Minh v2 is a complete copy of the first version in terms of the design elements, however, the color palette is completely different.… Read more

Been There – South Carolina 2

Posted on

Unexpectedly, Starbucks made a decision to issue an updated version of the previously released mug. The design of Been There South Carolina v2 shows some rearrangement of the elements and removal of “the rice state” nickname. The latter doesn’t seem to be widely used, so I guess the change makes sense. The Palmetto State, on the other hand, is widely known as the reference to the state tree, the Palmetto. Speaking of which, the v1 had two of these trees in the design, one red and one yellow.… Read more

You Are Here – Oktoberfest 2

Posted on

Just in time for Oktoberfest 2023, Starbucks is releasing the new version of the previously seen mug. You Are Here Oktoberfest v2 is drastically different from the 2019 version, be that the color scheme or the elements of the design.

The Oktoberfest, known as the largest beer festival in the world, is a lively and vibrant celebration that takes place in Munich, Germany. Every year, millions of people from around the globe gather to indulge in the spirit of Bavarian culture, traditional music, mouthwatering cuisine, and of course, copious amounts of beer.… Read more

Been There – Alabama 2

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Alabama v2 is an updated version of the mug that was released five years ago. I am not surprised that designers removed “the cotton state” nickname from the mug, as it was raising the question of what it has to do with Alabama. Other rather obvious changes include:
– the appearance of a friendly-looking bear and a giant butterfly
– the planes are gone. As a reminder, these were related to the Tuskegee Airmen, which were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces.… Read more

You Are Here – Vienna 2

Posted on

The brand new Starbucks You Are Here Vienna v2 mug brings a brighter design and more vivid colors when compared to the previously released Vienna v1 mug. The front of the mug is now occupied by the gloriette in the Schönbrunn Palace garden, which is considered the largest and probably best-known gloriette in the world. It was the last building constructed in the garden in 1775 to serve as both a focal point and a lookout point for the garden.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Nevada 2

Posted on

I am excited to see the release of Been There Ornament – Nevada v2 that is following the update of the bigger mug that was released last year. The most obvious change is the color scheme, which was changed from red-orange to blue. The bird on the front of the ornament is also different, however, I can’t tell what bird that is.
I wonder if that will be the new norm for the new versions of the existing ornaments and mugs?… Read more

Been There – Pennsylvania 2

Posted on

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).
– “TURN-PIKE” now has the dash in the name and refers to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (a.k.a Penna Turnpike or PA Turnpike).… Read more

Been There – Orlando 2

Posted on

Been There – Orlando v2 is another revised version of the existing mug. I’d rather Starbucks issue mugs for the new locations, be it cities or parks, but I’ll take v2 as well!
As you can see from the comparison collage below, even though the change is somewhat obvious, being on the front of the mug, it’s not as big, when compared with this recent release, as an example. Specifically, the “Theme Park Capital of the World” nickname is gone now.… Read more
