Does anyone else find this "Let's Merry" slogan idiotic? I mean first of all, it's not even grammatically correct! let's merry what? santa's ****? hahaha. I want to be the one who gets paid thousands of dollars to come up with slogans, and at lease mine would sound better than "Let's merry". Oh and I totally love the sayings on the cups hahahaha, my personal favorite is "When we're together snowmen come alive" I'm sure they do!
"Let's Merry" drives me ape ****!

I didn't even bother to read the cups. But the slogan on the sleeve totally irks me like no other. Let's Merry makes NO SENSE. NONE AT ALL.
According to Dictionary.com Merry means :
1.
full of cheerfulness or gaiety; joyous in disposition or spirit: a merry little man.
2.
laughingly happy; mirthful; festively joyous; hilarious: a merry time at the party.
3.
Archaic. causing happiness; pleasant; delightful.So,
1. Lets full of cheerfulness.
2. Lets laughingly happy.
3. Lets archaic.None of these still make sense.

I HATE IT SO MUCH! It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Every time I see it, I can help but laugh and be furious at the same time.

"Let's merry" is ridiculous, and so are the slogans on the cups. How do they even come up with stuff that cheesy? And the little people on the cups and stuff creep me out. I don't think I can handle another Christmas at Starbucks.

I haven't read the cups, but, not going to lie, I've been having a nerdy little chuckle at the expense of Starbucks since the Veranda/Blonde Roast information sheet went up.
Maybe it's not quite as annoying as "Let's Merry", and most people would probably have to read the whole thing to get to it, and then still might not catch it, but my eyes went straight for the 'Barista Quote' from 'Store Manager, Seattle' of "...lives up to it's description..." and I had a little laugh.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by let's merry. It reminds me of Engrish. "Let's merry for winter happiness! Do you enjoy snowfall? It is the warmth of holidays."

I am so glad that everyone else thinks that this slogan is ****! Seriously, Howie could have at least been smart enough to make it "let's get merry", or "let's be merry", but seriously let's merry?? All that damn sumatra must have rotted his brain hahahahahaha

I assumed it was supposed to be a play on "let's marry." Especially since the lines on all of the cups deal with themes of togetherness.

DTQueen - thought the same thing. I still think it's retarded though. What does marrying have to do with the holiday season? I don't understand what Starbucks has to do with relationships and love?

Even lets marry doesn't make sense.
Starbucks is just full of Grammatical Error Robots now. :/Posted 1 year ago # -
Starbucks is trying too hard.

And i thought last years Engrish "Each snowflake is to be special tale of happy storytime, just for you" crap was bad. . .

MERRY IS NOT A VERB!!!!!

Yes, "Let's Merry" is stupid. I honestly don't care what's written on the cups and sleeves. I spend my time brewing coffee and restocking cups/lids and teas, not reading the cups. Although I did do a double-take when I first noticed the Guy Fawkes looking figure drawn on the cups.

As others have said, it is straight up Engrish. I kind of love it, though. The artwork on the cups remind me of some depression-era Works Progress Administration art, though.

I worked today for the first time since the Tuesday "soft launch." I grabbed a sleeve to hand to a customer, glanced at the new design, and had to take a second look to make sure that I wasn't going insane. When I closed the window (**** drive thru), a coworker (a school teacher) and I tried our best to find a way for it to make since.
IT DOESN'T.
WHERE THE **** IS THE VERB?!
Oh, and customers have noticed... http://julesandjames.blogspot.com/2011/11/jules-pics-let-merry.html
