How about a Burj size Starbucks?
Burj size Starbucks?
A recent Starbucks parody on the Pan-Arabia Enquirer went viral on social media. The publication claims that “Burj” cup size coffee will be offered to coffee drinkers in the Gulf.
The article cites that the super sized cup could contain six litres of fresh brewed coffee, and the justification for such a move is based on increasing demand.
“After a great deal of research into the drinking habits of our many loyal customers, we’re proud to add the new Burj size cup to our line-up across a region which demands things to be bigger and better.” (Quoted from the original article)
Despite the apparent absurdity of the “Burj” size coffee, many actually find the idea appealing.
