This holiday season, Starbucks is once again in the hot seat. After their controversial red cups, now it’s a cookie that’s causing outrage. Yes, a cookie.
Upon first glance, I see a cheerful polar bear adorned with a scarf, but others have drawn a darker interpretation. Some individuals are expressing their outrage on social media, claiming the cookie resembles a polar bear with its throat cut.
“Is Starbucks really sending a message with their holiday cookie? A polar bear with a slit throat? That’s quite the festive spirit,” commented @MarkJensen. Another user, @LisaK, quipped, “Starbucks cookies are adorable, but why does this one look like a crime scene?!”
The controversy stems from the design, which some believe depicts a polar bear in distress rather than a cute holiday treat. After all, nothing screams “season’s greetings” like a cookie that resembles a brutally harmed animal, right? Especially when this cookie hasn’t been available since December 2010. Cue the record scratch.
Starbucks clarified that they previously offered cheerful polar bear cookies, stating, “In December of 2010, we had smiling polar bears in cozy scarves. We strive to provide festive and delicious holiday treats, including snowman cookies and gingerbread people in sweaters this year.”
It seems the internet is not just reacting to a cookie, but also to something from five years ago. In a world where information is at our fingertips, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Instead of raising our voices over a cookie, we should be focusing on pressing issues like healthcare, climate change, and social inequality.
As we approach 2016, let’s use our time wisely. Our children deserve a society that prioritizes significant matters over a stale pastry that has resurfaced online.
