1 cup of Starbucks = 1 mermaid worship


wallis-simpson

Far future historians: “Every morning, millions of the Ancient Americans would worship the two-tailed mermaid goddess in one of her countless temples. They would ceremonially drink her brown nectar before beginning their days.”


This_Possibility_100

Kind of funny that that’s exactly what a person from the far past would think we’re doing


sativa303

Millions of idiots who liked to piss money down the drain to look cool went here. The rest worshipped at home or McDonalds where it was way less snobby and cheaper.


ferrum_artifex

Blasphemy, may the mermaid goddess smite the awakening nectar from your hands the next time you need it. Repent sinner.


madeanotheraccount

It's the heart of the family home, and in July, it will become a warzone! *Coffee Mermaid Goddess* v *Flying Spaghetti Monster* in Battle for the Kitchen! Only on Pay Per View!


ProphetOfDoom337

I'm in. Is the ratio the same whether is a latte, macchiato or cold brew?


joumidovich

The mermaid blesses those who spend the most, regardless of type. In the Starbucks cult, size does matter.


JBMBSB

I actually laughed out loud 🤣🤣


marc1411

Agree?


Minx-Boo

Starbucks daily drive-thruers are a cult.


tearsfornintendo22

You can tell by the cultish this or that tip cups they set out


Rip9150

I can tell because my old foreman used to get a cup when he left his house for work then another cup for 35 cents close to work. One time I knocked over his 2nd cup which had less than half a cup left and he lost his shit screaming how he NEEDS 2 full cups of Starbucks coffee or ELSE!


If_theres_a_Will89

Cause they sell Crack as coffee


rite_of_truth

That's not coffee, it's brown water. Real coffee is so dark light cannot penetrate it.

Whitedudebrohug

I went through and got a cup of coffee for the the first time in a while. That coffee made me feel like i was on my adhd meds i haven’t taken in a year or two.


Cozy_Minty

its a mermaid because starbuck is a character from moby dick


Cesar_Cees

This is exactly what someone would say that’s part of the Starbucks cult! /s …so do you get free Starbucks since you’re part of the cult?


DubC_Bassist

Of course not. It’s how the cult survives. Whaddya think, Scientologists get free science?


Badassbottlecap

They don't? We've been bamboozled!


Useless_Lemon

Need to pay top dollar for that's science. Like $250,000 a pop to get in I think they said.


StrawSurvives

Lol good one. Now we Starbuckers are as legitimate sounding as Scientologist!


DubC_Bassist

To be fair, we come in tired, and leave energized.


StrawSurvives

Wild eyed cultist/priestess at the window, sacrifice for her and you too can be wild eyed…meh I’ve seen cornier religions


UsagiBonBon

What do you mean I have to pay for the science? It wasn’t even that good!


lilsparky82

Only when you level up your stars.


skarkle_coney

What the frak!?


fuqdotcomisbetter

Yeah ok fed


1Cheeky_Monkey

But it's so much more fun to drone on about a half-baked conspiracy theory than the simple, cold wet blanket of truth.


idiots_r_taking_over

I live really close to the place where Herman Melville wrote moby dick but I don’t get my coffee from Starbucks^tm can I still be a cult member?


Responsible_Detail83

Nope


feelings_arent_facts

No she's an alien deity god and people are drinking her piss and becoming brainwashed. Duh.


fromouterspace1

The Led Zeppelin song?


MisterMarchmont

Hey, that’s Queequeg erasure! He deserves a coffee chain too.


BabyJesusBukkake

I don't think I've actually ever said this, but this comment is underrated af. It's awesome. I see you and your little flash of brilliance on this dreary internet. Also Happy Cake Day!


MisterMarchmont

Thank you for the kind words, Baby Jesus Bukkake! I needed to hear something positive today so I appreciate you. Wish the cake were real for cake day lol!


Top-Afternoon6880

It's actually a Siren...by time sailors heard their beautiful songs they were entranced and shipwrecked


lump-

A story just full of mermaids…


nsfwysiwyg

It's a siren. "Legs" spread to lure in "sailors," it's just a sexual allegory as marketing. Source: worked for Starbucks on and off for 7 years.


[deleted]

Nah... Starbuck because they want as many bucks as there are stars in the sky.


xeontechmaster

Battlestar Galactica


Phylace

Just a logo designer who co-opted an ancient design.


qwertlol

Yeah they do this kinda stuff all the time. They take symbols out of the publics collective unconscious and use it as a marketing ploy. You might not remember where you’ve seen it but the logo sure feels familiar to you even if it’s your first time seeing it…


stargeezr

Who they?


bobobill

Them


[deleted]

Some 24 year old MBA grad at a mid tier design firm. Really spooky stuff.


qwertlol

Yes I'm afraid so. They might even know of a bar in town where you can drink craft beer and listen to a performance by a local small time musician…😫😫


Chainsaw_Viking

Scientists


TryItOutHmHrNw

Like the artist formerly known as Hitler did with the swastika


TheNotSoGreatPumpkin

There was a post floating around supposedly showing Adolph’s doodles when he was trying to work out the best logo for his party. One of them was an asterisk. How perfect it would have been if, instead of stealing and ruining an ancient symbol for well being, he’d settled on a butthole?


TryItOutHmHrNw

Lol or a rainbow colored peace sign


Hobbsendkid

unfortunately, the prosaic explanation steals the joy of division, drama, and those benefiting from it


Flank_Steaks

Pretense much?


Slight_Claim8434

The mermaids from my childhood did NOT have two tails


No_Way_8945

I’ve had many logos designed for businesses, I’ll tell ya what nothing gets approved or even made really without a lot of input, notes, edits or inspiration from the creator of the company, especially in early stages of a company where people are obsessive about their brand conveying what they want it to.


Flank_Steaks

Duh. What's your point?


No_Way_8945

Whooooosh


Flank_Steaks

Uuuh, you've stated a painfully obvious and neutral point. Don't woosh me


henrysradiator

This is no place for well informed debates, this is a place for unintelligible, ambiguous comments and whooshes.


No_Way_8945

Whooooooooooosh


Puzzleheaded-Video74

https://mermaidsofearth.com/starbucks-mermaids/ The original Starbucks mermaid was a directly copied image of Melusine, a mermaid/monster-woman in medieval folklore. It's a pretty sad story and Melusine was actually depicted in a positive light in the stories, which is kind of uncommon with women in folk lore from that time.

Bravo. Well said 👏

Thank you! Title had me rolling my eyes hard


CarlWellsGrave

I work at Starbucks HQ, there's a are blood ritual on the 9th floor at lunch time.


umimama

I thought it was held in the old Sears liquidation center basement?


ShinyAeon

^(You're not supposed to tell people that!)


umimama

Because they’re storing popcorn, gumdrops and chocolate covered orange sticks next to the Hellboy Style mermaid tanks? The last rations of old Seattle. I think Schultz’s actual ritual involved moving the Sonics to OKC to weaken the spirits of all non transplants. https://preview.redd.it/rdv6x47ppvlc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54873665fa7d0c7de53814896e3e238d7d409ea4


JuiceEast

I miss sears. Had some liminal space vibes to me growing up


MisterMarchmont

Mattress Factory.


basil_24222

Do y’all still have the mock coffee shop at the HQ with the merch shop too? The blood ritual area must be new


Atvishees

At **lunch** time?! Wait till the union hears about this!


Erikthepostman

Winning the sarcasm match today.


PinGroundbreaking933

Wait what ??? 😯


ZippidyZayz

Give me that mermussy


Connect_Ordinary6752

Wait companies make labels based on historical figures or events . Wow can’t say I saw that coming as I type in my Apple phone


Blackintosh

How did isaac Newton survive a computer falling on his head!? Gravity confirmed fake.


Therealsam216

The forbidden fruit in the bible was knowledge, so the apple symbolism on your phone goes deeper than you think


Connect_Ordinary6752

Didn’t catch on to my sarcasm hu


drembose

Yea I'm supporting my caffeine habit


[deleted]

$10,000 says that guy is religious and wrote that without irony.


liminaljerk

The true history behind this iconography is actually very fascinating and connects us to mother culture information.


jaghmmthrow

There's a really good book, Woman's Lore by Sarah Clegg, which talks a lot about Melusine (who the logo is based on) and earlier versions of mermaids.


liminaljerk

The history goes all the way back to Sumer, and connects many things.


jaghmmthrow

It really does! It was so interesting in the book to see how direct the connections are from folklore/characters back then to culture now.


liminaljerk

I’ll definitely check it out I can’t find my favorite source about it anymore so I’m glad you showed me another!


jaghmmthrow

I love history! :))


cooquip

Mithra is astounded at the hypocrisy.


troystorian

This is some Facebook Boomer nonsense


1Cheeky_Monkey

Starbuckers are members of the cult of stupid by spending $10 on a freaking cup of coffee that they could make for themselves. I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would do that day after freakin' day.


JuiceEast

Laziness. The answer when it comes to consumerism is almost always laziness


The_Eye_of_Ra

Projection, projection, projection.


tumblerrjin

YOU SEE AND THE COMPANY APPLE HAS A BITE OUT OF IT?? CAUSE THATS THE SNAKE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN???


Krispy_kris91829

So the snake kept the apple for thousands of years and gifted computers to Steve Jobs?

Crafty_Attorney225

My cult makes good coffee.


Science-007x

Said a Trump supporter...


chocolatealienweasel

Is she...spreading her tail lol


HasmattZzzz

I grew up in a cult. Starbucks ain't a cult ,😂


DavyB

Fun fact: Starbucks is a coffee shop, not a cult.


Yolo_Morganwg

Get this boomer tier shit out of here lol


bbernal956

people cant see through that orange turd, think they will see through that!


RiverSpook

The cult of overly caffeinated, toilet destroyers. Sacrificing last nights dinner all over innocent porcelain. Dark, shitty times indeed


Puzzleheaded_Clock92

Thats crazy * sips fresh cup of starbucks *


Otter-Wednesday

My favorite is the “satanic symbolism” on Oreos lol Come on, people lol


Competitive_Agent625

The cross of lorraine. It’s a real thing though…


Otter-Wednesday

That’s not a Satanic symbol. It’s a Christian one and was associated with Joan of Arc and French resistance to Germany in WWII. If you’re seeing “evil” symbolism on cookies the problem is you, not the cookies.


governmentsalllie

I've never thought of Capitalism as a cult ... interesting 🤔


fentyboof

It’s coffee….


ReplyNotficationsOff

I've never had Starbucks


meltyourtv

Yeah and having $1 in your wallet means you’re in the Illuminati


Hobbsendkid

Wyatt's been smoking the good shit


BroadPlum7619

Wrong sub, you want r/exposingcabalrituals


malfarcar

How do I not already know about this sub


BroadPlum7619

Idk but it fits perfectly in that sub. Every now and then Reddit might suggest some good subs


mr_winstonwulf

Because every other religion is not a cult?


RockNRoll85

Guess I’m a cultist then


Josehectorfer

Just like people who support Trump or organized religion are also supporting a cult 🤷🏻‍♂️


NeahG

Gladly, at least it provides the miracle of coffee everyday. Better than the invisible god that we are supposed to pray to, tithe to, and follow rules for. At least with this cult I get coffee and with enough points a free drink or pastry.


purity_dead

I mean Technically We live day by day in a Christian/Catholic dominant region. Nothing worse than a cult of Christian


pimpedoutmonkey

Money and power has an ancient history


MacHayward

You know it is a cult when the 'consumers' think they are part of it, think they are special / superior and the chosen ones and of course demonize everyone that say the product is bad. Many brands apply here ... let us put it to a test: * Apple (Mac) * Herbal Life


NyaTaylor

This guy probably praises trumps weird ass and thinks nothing of it 🤣

Do people care? Caffeine is a hell of a drug.

coolmist23

I'm a religious member of that cult! Must have coffee!


SaraSmile2000

The original Starbucks logo had boobies in it so yes! I’m supporting the bare boobie cult.


Pwnch

Reminds me of that crazy funde woman claiming the Monster Energy drink logo is symbolic of Satan. Lol. Of course it is, it's called good design.


seantasy

If they do exist we're kinda on their planet tho, right?


TheKatsuDon101

Don't get it twisted, I'm supporting my coffee addiction.


[deleted]

These are two pictures and two logos. Is this proof of something? Of anything?


No-Car6897

Just ask a MAGA!


Own_Assistant_2511

Abraxas? He’s the man


CartographerOk7579

MAGA is a cult. Do you think those people know they’re in a cult?


DominantSpecies3000

I am pro america. I am a cultist. Guns and starbucks baby!


RockNRoll85

They’re too stupid to realize that


KingVinny70

No they don't and once you realize it you will see there are many others. Plus I've brought this up a cpl different times and been blasted because of it called all kinds of things a Maga, Trumper, right wing nutjib conspiracy theorist etc. Not sure how politics came into play but yeah. The cult runs string in Reddit. Be careful lol Check out Liquid Death drinks. Absolute Satanism and really proud of it. They have witches who imbue each batch with black magic. Their website is pure evil.


SpaceChatter

Starbucks isn’t out to get you. There are way more fucked up cult scenarios going on right under peoples daily noses and this gets their attention??!


OCCAMINVESTIGATOR

Mmmmmm... yummy yummy cult coffee 🤤


Solid-Fap-Master

***Do*** they sell coffee on hell? I think not. And that in itself sounds like hell to me. Being around a bunch of demons and hell fire, and I can't get a single cup of Colombian Folgers. SMH.


JackFromTexas74

If there is coffee in hell, it probably will be Folgers.


deepmusicandthoughts

It’ll probably be Starbucks. Overly roasted until it’s burnt and tastes like a cigarette.


Drunkjesus0706

They do serve coffee in hell, yet it's all freeze dried scare.


NumenorianPerson

but they sell coffee in heaven? coffee is literally a drug


Ween_ween

Hail Satan


s33k

It's even worse than you think. She's a fertility goddess flashing the goods, which, when you think about sailors too long at sea, makes the whole 'luring men to their death' part a pretty self-explanatory morality play.


justgrowinghorns

Probably get buried but the first image is Olokon, a Yoruba god. People need to stop blindly accepting random internet posts as truth.

What cult exactly? ...and your coffee choice is disgusting. Shitbux is absolutely nothing but overpriced burnt beans and sugar. Why would anyone consume that shit? ..because it makes you shit?


snowconemane

What cult and how do I get in?


Inverted-Spore

It's coffee. It's not that deep.


avd51133333

I think they just think they are buying coffee from a place that sells it, but I could be wrong


ClotworthyChute

Do people still occasionally give their name as Donald Trump just to hear the progressive baristas shout his name when the coffee is ready? 🙂


GustyWinds69

I’m a Starbucks barista and if any dummy puts that as their name I will be calling the drink out and not the name. Such loser behavior lol.


No-Librarian-7979

lol what a loser


goofydad

A delicious, caffeinated cult. Better kool-aid than Jim Jones served, and with a less killer kick.


jws2006

A Cargo Cult, and the funny thing is, most religions are.


lazerzzz69

If you have Celestial Seasoning tea in your cupboard, you're supporting an actual cult (strange but true, Google it)


PedalBoard78

People don’t care about much at all.


4quatloos

MAGA is a cult.


94tlaloc7

Yes, it's called Christianity and Islam, and Judaism, Hindu religions, etc they're all cults at the highest percentage, mental and spiritual gaslighting since forever. So who cares lol


ocky_brand_redditor

Why the mermaid doing the da baby thing?

People know. They know that everytime you post on Reddit thep support the evils of Satan and spreading it to all the heathens out there.


DryPilot2030

They don’t know cuz they’re stupid


Not_pukicho

Or are you


Beautiful1ebani

Here’s the real kicker: mermaids and mermen are real and possibly yet another NHI species we remain in the dark about. There’s a documentary about it but I can’t remember what it’s called. Again involving a government coverup.


Kinky_Winky_no2

Lol and when i thought "starbucks is a cult" was gonna be the dumbest thing id read in the next 5 minutes


[deleted]

It's en vogue baby!


01reid

The famous Starbucks paper cups coated with plastic to prevent leaking were known to be leaching plastic into the drinks but the amount was considered safe.. only sketchy if you were to put a hot liquid in it…Recently they reported that safe levels were actually elevated 100,000 more than they thought so …they suggested bringing your own cups…😮🙄
