Starbucks Versus Dunkin: Coffee Cup Controversy, USA Today

Did Dunkin’ Donuts just start a war with its seasonal coffee cup design? The coffee chain unveiled its seasonal coffee cup design on Tuesday amid controversy over Starbucks' unadorned red coffee cup. The Dunkin’ Donuts cup has a green and red holiday design and says "Joy" in red letters. While the cup doesn't explicitly say "Merry Christmas," on social media many questioned whether the "Christmasy" design was a jab at Starbucks' plain red cup. Starbucks maintains that their unadorned seasonal cup allows customers to put their unique drawings and message on it, but some say it’s one more way that companies are stripping the Christmas message from the holiday season.

How to Get an Instant Man Bun, Groupon

One of the hottest trends in men’s fashion, the man bun has been popularized by fixed-gear bicyclists, introspective Hollywood actors alike, and by 7x7 editors. But although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense, those who sport it might find themselves outcasts in sports bars, motorcycle gangs, and the annual government-mandated machismo test. This attachable—and, equally important, detachable—man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro.
