No, I saw Robot Chicken and it’s a mermaid on a porn shoot.
The original thicc one with the exposed breasts was based on a 16th century Nordic woodcarving. I must have taught that Starbucks Experience new-hire class hundreds of times.
sirens where also bird like in some myths
they would tear apart the sailors with talons, hence the ref in lighthouse
I prefer Queequeg’s
Chicks who swallow seamen are so hot.
Alot of these TIL posts are simply things anyone with common sense + basic knowledge of the world already know 🤦🏽♂️
Now look at their target demographic
This does actually happen at some of our local Starbucks. It’s a hazard of our modern world. Be aware, my hearties! -OG SeaHawk
That’s the joke. Starbucks baristas say they are “trapped by the Siren” as she lures you into a job that slowly devours you.
Definitely not saying that Starbucks is trying to devour sailors, just thought it was interesting and a little bit funny!
Their old logo is also worth a look, it’s a little atrocious imo, I can see why they changed it
