So apparently Starbucks have ‘partnered’ with mermaids

I wonder what’s in them.

The sit in cost is £2.59.

The guts of three quid for a biscuit. There's a Greggs next door where £2.59 will buy you a weeks worth of refined carbohydrate.

Reporting from the ground here. The woke cookies are on display in my local Starbucks, with the 50p donation advertised.

I can't see them being popular because they cost 40p more than the much more appetising chocolate cookies they sit next to.

I wouldn't say dark blue icing is particularly child friendly either, I know my DS wouldn't ask for one.

Iced biscuits aren't much of a thing these days are they? The tail shape isn't great either. Tbh I think this one's a non event.

I'd be up for postering toilet doors - if someone creates one/ has a link please PM me!

An old schoolfriend of mine has a child who is now detransitioning. The whole experience has almost broken them as a family and she is extremely angry about the sort of propoganda and pressure circulated by groups such as this.

Starbucks might want to concentrate on getting themselves up to third rate before they waste time with this nonsense.

I would boycott them, but then I have been for 2 years since they utter failed in the business of being a coffee shop.

‘With every cookie (bleugh) sold’ I wonder what the is for?

So this went straight into my trash folder this morning. VERY disappointed.

They just lost themselves another customer. I'll be telling people I know too. No one I know wants to support transing kids.

Can I request Class Action Lawsuit Against Lupron as my name?

Glad I found this is I saw the ad by accident (love a bit of SAS ). When is the madness going to stop? It’s terrifying.

Just accidentally saw that ad. Followed by something else LGBT - wasn’t really watching properly but I think it was for the Renault Clio of all things . It’s all a bit hamfisted tbh. Rainbows vomited over everything.

The Starbucks one is pure gaslighting and if I ever went in there I’d love to tell them my name was Don't Lie to Children. But I never go in there because it’s rank, they don’t pay tax and now they collude in the abuse of children. So no thanks.

I can never eat the biscuits in Starbucks because they've got nuts in them, or traces of nuts. No doubt the Mermaid Biscuits will have nuts in them or traces - or will they have gone out their way to be truly inclusive and therefore nut free?

No - it’s not worth the effort. Just speak from the heart and don’t be nice. 😇

I'm pretty sure some 'kind' person is going to share this on my Facebook page. Can anyone suggest a cheerful, non hectoring couple of pithy sentences to let the world know I'm a nice person but that mermaids are utterly ghastly?

Is it worth going in and ordering the cheapest drink but giving a catchy little slogan name for them to shout our (then a few more times when you suddenly go deaf)... 😈

Considering coffee shops never get your name right anyway.

They have an advert on Channel 4 tonight at 9:10. Ugh.

“Tonight's the night. Tune into @Channel4 between 9.10pm - 9.15pm to watch the network premiere of the UK's 1st TV ad' acknowledging the importance of trans identities. @StarbucksUK are raising £100k+ for our helpline services! Thank you.

Just let people know what they are buying into. ‘mummy, I want a pretty mermaid biscuit! Pleaaaaaaassssee mumeeeeeeeee!’

I'd boycott, but their coffee is terrible and I haven't been there in years.
Let's just hope Gregg's doesn't jump on the Woke train, then I'll really be upset!

Flora is manufactured by Unilever, not Whitbread.

Apparently Whitbread also sold Costa Coffee off to Coca-Cola in 2018.

Well, Starbucks did originate in Wokey Seattle. How stupid do they have to be? Did the HoM really think getting into bed with a controversial ‘charity’ was a good idea?

Hmmm let me think - a few cookies (probably ladened with sugar and E numbers) sold to a few virtues signaling students, or a shed load of coffee, hot chocolate, cakes and sandwiches sold to mums and dads who are concerned about the homophobia and gender stereotypes that are filling their kids head from the minute their discover CBBC? Let me count that one out for them.

Plus all the bad publicity (which as Gerald Rather will tell you ‘not all publicity is good publicity’ and the inevitable scandal of the whole debate that will happen.

A blog post by Claire Graham about Mermaids and CEO Susie Green:

How does any of that align with Starbucks brand values? For example, the Mermaids definition of 'cis' is "happy with gender, fancies opposite sex". By that logic all lesbians and gay men should be trans. Sounds like gay conversion therapy to me.

Like Lush, M&S etc etc they're all about the money and the bandwagon as DH says - if it was fashionable to promote mass murder or slavery they’d be all over it.

Few choice comments on this thread:

I’ll have a half caff, double mastectomy, triple caramel maturation blocker, hold the foam.

Exciting! Can't wait to order a Double Mastectomy Mocha and Hysterectomy Americano at Starbucks.

And the ladydique latte!

Hopefully they don’t start using milk from males.

Starbucks are now complicit in the sterilisation of autistic children. Will never visit one again

Shame Starbucks couldn’t put £100k+ into supporting children with disabilities. Instead funding a charity that in years to come people will look back and think what the hell were we thinking supporting Mermaids.

Like Lush, M&S etc etc they're all about the money and the bandwagon. I now head straight for the local family cafe run by a young couple who make great Freetrade coffee and offer gluten free and dairy free options. I have no doubt they pay their taxes too as they don't have a big team to help them get out of it. I'm trying to think before I choose & buy anything now.
