Starbucks Splash Sticks Make Splash
I still have yet to see one, even though they went national last month, but Starbucks has rolled out a line of free, reusable, anti-splash swizzle sticks–”quietly,” most note–called Starbucks Splash Sticks. From the Boston Herald:
“I could have used one of those this morning getting into the car,” said Stephanie Vollebregt, 24, an au pair in Melrose. “Luckily it dripped down my hand, not onto my pants, but who hasn’t had that happen? This means less laundry for me, I guess.”
Fellow Melrose au pair Kristen Hedberg twirled a stick while lauding the invention and design. “It’s green. It’s pretty. And I can use it to stir my drink, too,” she said.
“It’s a coffee accessory,” Vollebregt chimed in. “You accessorize your house, yourself, your car. Why not your coffee?”
Congrats to Starbucks, which has obviously cornered the highly coveted au pair market.
While a YumSugar poll puts them firmly in the loved-by-customers category, others note they’ll cause litter. And professor frenchy, captioning a splash stick snap on Flickr, notes “the coffee still escaped from under the lid and the little ‘breathing holes’ on top.”
