At this time of year, merchants will lively launch a series of holiday marketing products. If you are a fan of Starbucks or a severe patient with social networking disorder, you won't miss the Starbucks Christmas Red Cup. The red paper cup, launched every year before Christmas, has been in the hands of people for 18 years since 1997.

Starbucks' annual Christmas red cup design

This year's minimalist Red Cup, designed by Jeffrey Fields, has caused controversy. Because there is nothing on the cup but the brand Logo, some Christians believe that it is shameless anti-Christian business that there is no religious pattern on the birth festival and call for a boycott on social networks.

However, more netizens have opened the mode of mockery to this religious sensitivity: "Please, it's just a cup, is it necessary to be so glassy?" "if a coffee cup can offend your religion, then your God must be fake."

Even the US presidential candidate, Trump, who has always had a big mouth, stepped in: "maybe we should boycott Starbucks. I don't know." But to be honest, I don't care at all. "

But maybe the minimalist paper cup itself has a hidden agenda, according to designer Fields. This year's minimalist Red Cup is designed to allow customers to DIY themselves and convey the holiday mood in a more open way. Starbucks' official Instagram account keeps reposting creative photos posted online, as in previous years. This year's controversial topic has made this interactive marketing even hotter. Look at these inspirational works. This paper cup is about to be spoiled.

Do you want Christian elements? How about a scapegoat of God?

The witty human replaced Starbucks LOGO with the crucifixion Jesus

Then add a cross and an imp.

Mocking face: such a paper cup must be more offensive to mankind than war and poverty.

My religion is only wine.

Have something happier than coffee.

Trump: revive Starbucks!

Look! The old man is yelling at a coffee cup

Relax, it's Christmas! Have a latte!

Blue, black, white and gold

So let's put all the colors on, so it won't offend anyone, right? (but are you sure Christians will be happy to see LGBT's rainbow sign?)
