Debate of Coffee Coosies/Sleeves

So I am really not sure who invented the coffee sleeve or whenever the fuck it was invented to begin with. And although it avoids using two cups (those are the real pussies) I still find the fucking things ridiculous and wasteful (a complete blog on waste will come shortly and all dedicated to Nick).

Before I get a million an one comments about it being hot, let me explain...

For those of us who keep it simple and order normal temperature beverages...yes, they do come out hot and for that, I understand the sleeve. However, the extra hot and even the extra extra hot people can kiss my ass. Anyone who actually chooses to drink scalding hot, burnt milk can most definitely burn their hands too. Seriously, extra hot is the stupidest thing ever. Why the hell would you want a scalding hot beverage burning the top ten layers of your tongue only to have the new top ten layers burnt off the next morning when you do it all over again? It's burnt. fucking. milk. Nasty. It smells like dirty socks and fucking moldy cheese....not something I'd like to sip or guzzle through a straw. With that being said, we can disregard the excuse of extra hot for use of sleeves....it's called TEPID people, enjoy/taste your goddamn drinks like normal people.

Speaking of tepid (below temperature) any of you who put sleeves on their tepid drinks need to go and sit by themselves for a while. Actually, I take that back. Go sit with the straw drinkers and the decaf bitches and may god save your souls. That is just fucking ridiculous....

So anyway, it's like 1,000 degrees out now and we have been overloaded with frappuccinos. Frappuccinos are cold drinks...blended in a blender and topped with whipped cream. Frappuccinos ARE NOT fucking drinks meant for sleeves. But believe it or not, a nice amount of people put sleeves on their icy drinks. Last time I checked an icy beverage did not burn your hand. Did the law of physics change or do these people just try and look stupid.

What was that? OH DUH! They keep the condensation off you pretty little manicured hands. Well then, excuse me. You use all the sleeves you want to avoid getting your hands wet and when we die of global warming you tell mother earth how sleeves changed your life.

PLUS...fucking 7/11 or plaid pantry doesn't offer sleeves for their slurpees...are you going to go ask the night shift man if he can please get you a sleeve as to avoid a moist hand? No. I didn't think so. And soft drinks have the little droplets on the outside of their drinks too!...how fucking stupid would taco bell look if they offered a coosy for your beverage?

Right. Well that's what sleeves on frappuccinos look like. Stupid, unnecessary and wasteful.

Good post ... I had no idea people ordered their coffee or milk at scalding temps. What's the point?

Those sleeves drive me batty anyway. Why don't people just bring their own cups and get a discount for doing so? Starbucks used to have that years ago ...

Sleeves are for shirts not drinks!!

I don't think we have to worry about these same frappy people walking into a 7-11 any time soon for a slurpee, it would be below them to walk into someplace like that, just like Macy's shoppers snub their noses at a Walmart, a Frappy person with a sleeve would snub a 7-11.

I use a sleeve with my iced drinks because otherwise my hand gets painfully cold.
