Starbucks PR disaster in Argentina

Yesterday, whoever is in charge of Twitter for Starbucks Argentina forgot to drink hir morning coffee and created a PR disaster. Apparently, due to restrictions to imports in Argentina, Starbucks has started using national cups that don't look like the standard Starbucks cup. So the company apologized through Twitter. The message was something like: "We apologize to our customers because, due to problems in the supply chain, we've had to start using national cups and sleeves". As you can imagine, such a message started a firestorm in Twitter. Here are more details.

Of course, irony and non-politically correct humor is one of Argentinians favorite pastimes. If you read Spanish and want to immerse yourself in Argentine slang for a while, I recommend that you look #labandadestarbucks on Twitter. I've been laughing hard for the past half hour reading the Tweets.
