Not long ago, Starbucks announced a joint cooperation with Disney on the public platform, and the event will be launched on January 15, which quickly attracted the attention of many fans.

Judging from the promotional posters posted by people familiar with the matter, the second joint signature of Starbucks and Disney will feature the classic character Mickey Mini as the protagonist to launch themed mugs and dolls with Mickey Mouse elements. In addition to these common surroundings, in the pictures posted by the Starbucks clerk, some netizens noticed that the authorities had prepared some unexpected objects, such as the Lishi seal, imperial guard and wooden cups printed with the brand logo.

When many people see Lishengfeng, Imperial Guard and Cup Shou, they confess that when these approachable objects are mixed with Starbucks, Disney and so on, even if they see the real thing, they still can't believe it. Some people say that the joint event is approaching the New year, and it is not difficult to understand that the official launch of Li Shifeng and Imperial Shou, which is in line with the festive atmosphere, but the cup is really unexpected.

Friends in Fujian, Guangdong and other places may not be unfamiliar with this matter. In some temples and ancestral halls, believers of inquiring gods and ancestors can often be seen throwing two crescent-shaped pieces of wood held in their hands to the ground, which seems strange to people who don't know the truth. but in fact, the believers are carrying out a divination ritual called "cup-throwing" by the locals.

It is reported that there are usually three kinds of results after the cup is thrown to the ground, one yin and one yang (also known as saints), two positive sides (also known as laughter) and two yin sides (also known as yin). If believers want the things they ask for to go smoothly, they need to throw the holy word in front of the gods and ancestors three times in a row and get their consent. Therefore, compared with the traditional way of asking to sign a hexagram, this way of divination can be said to be simple and easy to use, and it is widely welcomed by many young people.

However, when a cup full of metaphysics appeared around Starbucks and Disney, many netizens said that the combination was too magical. "rarely use ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign to describe a thing." no, no, no. " , "this is too much to do as the Romans do", "Mickey Mouse cup is not coffee, but wine, drink high to come up with this combination", "how on earth are these three connected", "super minority faith joint name".

In addition to surprise, the pair of Starbucks logo cups also made some netizens joke that they might pick up a cup of divination before drinking coffee to see whether it is suitable for American style or latte today. And users in Fujian, Guangdong and other places have been unable to bear the excitement after seeing this kind object, saying bluntly that as long as the new product is launched, it must be included in the bag.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Starbucks has "embraced the mysterious oriental power". Before that, the brand has launched wooden fish furnishings, which has attracted competition from a large number of metaphysics enthusiasts. In this joint name, the official design of minority cups into the periphery has really brought no small impact to many users, but at the same time, many people think that this is a novel and unique attempt. Maybe it will make more people know about the simple and interesting way of divination.
