While waiting in line for coffee one morning, I began to wonder, what exactly is the deal with the Starbucks logo? Because to me it looks like a slutty mermaid spreading her legs. Granted, her barnacle encrusted jam pot is obscured by a giant green band with the word coffee on it, but it does bring a welcome hint of maritime tinged eroticism to the beverage. No more having to wish your fuck buddy had the fish part on top and the lady part on bottom like a Magritte, because this one’s a split-tail.
What this has to do with selling coffee, I’ll never know, so I decided to do some snooping. I came across an article at DeadPr0grammer’s Cafe, which details the coffee mascot’s evolution from scaly siren with saggy tits and hairy stomach to the sanitized version we all know and love today.
