I was so uncomfortable with the ad that I tried to have it pulled from the Starbucks I visit. I was successful in doing this, but in order to increase my chance of success, I interviewed several people about their opinions on the ad so that I could make a strong case to the managment. Many of the women I interviewed told me that the ad made them

was this at a corporate starbucks? because there is no way they could just pull a nationwide promotion from their store just from a few people speaking out about it.

i'm personally indifferent to the whole skinny promotion. it was kind of weird at first, and slightly offensive. but it does make our job a lot easier. i've hardly heard any complaints from customers, most of them find it "fun" to call their drinks by the new name. weirdos, i know. :P

I'm not sure about coorporate...probably. All I know is that the signs were pulled down from the store I visit. But it is still called a skinny latte. How hard is it to write NF in the milk box and SF in the syrup box on a cup?

oooh, i see. it was probably because of the phase change. "skinny lattes" were part of the winter promotion. now we're onto the whole pike place roast shiz so there are signs up everywhere for that.

it isn't so difficult but it's nice to just see the SKVL in the drink box instead of reading down 5 other boxes to get the whole drink order.

that is FUCKING awesome! I'm so glad you did that!

Yes it was pretty awesome. I got to tear up a sign. It was an amazing experience and taught me that I can really use my voice in life and from this experience I never eat or drink diet anything. (I'm anorexic.) That;s definitely an improvment for me. Keep making videos. I love them.
