Come on, Starbucks – just call them “smoothies!”

Starbucks, why must you take every opportunity to fan the flames of our guilt? It’s hard enough to buy a $3 coffee when half the world makes less than that every day. But to add insult to injury, you make us order it with words – tall, grande, venti – that punctuate the burden of our privilege.

Now you’re selling smoothies. But they’re not smoothies — they’re Vivannos. Forget it. The buck stops here. I’m never going to buy a Vivanno. I’ll buy a smoothie though should you choose to rename them.

Join this campaign. Let’s send Starbucks a message that they can make money without forcing us to speak their language.
