Those things are like water guns filled with hot coffee. The slightest bump in the road and the hot coffee shoots out the hole. One day I'll design a better cup and be a millionaire. Or better yet sue them for a million dollars for spilling hot coffee all over myself.

It's because consumers bitch when the coffee isn't filled right to the brim. You can thank your fellow man for your misfortune in your car.

That's only part of the problem, because even after I take 2-3 sips it still spills out.

Faulty cup holder?

I don't drink coffee, what makes the Starbucks design different from anyone else?

Dunkin Donuts added a flap to the lid that covers the hole....I am sure Starbucks is working on following suit.

i have a spillproof cup. the lid snaps on tight, and the only way you can get anything out of it is through two holes that are covered by a lever-action second-lid. if you don't push the lever nothing can come out

Yes, and add some "Type-R" stickers to it too. This should solve all problems with your spilled coffee.

ask them to rip off a piece of the stickers they use to close up the bags of grounded beans. then put the sticker over the little hole. it'll keep the coffee in, and just simply lift up the sticker, take a sip, and then reapply the sticker back down.

Because these days you're not allowed to like anything without it somehow being a reflection of your sexual preference or it being some sort of compensation over an inadequacy.

Gotcha. Then I better sell my C-class real quick and buy a civic instead, promptly adding some "Type-R" stickers. Then I'll be the c00l.

Saying that would be the same as saying so are the 350Z roadster, S2000, and a few other similar droptop coupes.

People used to say Subaru's were for lesbians only....then the WRX came to america.
