Starbucks is back in the hot seat this week over polar bear cookies that some say look like they have bloodied throats. It’s obviously a red scarf, but the folks who are freaking out are the same twerps that see Satan’s face in a plate of mashed potatoes…or think the Snap, Crackle and Pop cereal is talking to them. Some people just look for controversy and enjoy stirring the masses. Of course social media doesn’t help, as it only fans the flames of people posting how offended they are over seeing a polar bear cookie with it’s throat slashed! Are you kidding me?! Does anyone honestly think that an extremely successful global company would create and sell a cookie so graphic? It would make sense if these cookies were sold at some Gothic Coffee Cafe, or some creepy baker who makes cookies late at night, and sleeps upside down like a bat in their basement during the day. Oh, and it’s worth mentioning that Starbucks apparently doesn’t even sell these cookies anymore…,so someone has recycled this old photo. Maybe someone with an axe to grind with the java giant?

The other holiday treat that came under fire recently was the Reese’s Christmas Tree. I saw comment after comment on Facebook and even actual news sites, of people complaining that the “tree” doesn’t even resemble a tree! WHO CARES, as long as it tastes like a Reese’s peanut butter cup! Some said it looked more like something you might scoop out of a cat litter box. I think it would be funny as hell if they came out with the Reese’s Cat Dropping treat! Maybe even dip the chocolate candies into some larger sugar graduals so it looks like it came straight out of a cat litter pan!
