"Considering the coffee house is such a huge part of pop culture at this point, these Starbucks creations should be no surprise. Founded in 1971 in Seattle, the worldwide java franchise is currently a multi-billion dollar company with 16,000 locations -- that's two to six new locations a day. With a cult-like following, the company has tons of fan-made products dedicated to enhancing the coffee-guzzling experience, such as Caramel Macchiato-inspired cupcakes or infographics tracking its success.
Though Starbucks has thus far enjoyed crazy amounts of success, such success does not come without a price. Many see the coffee house as a pretentious spot based on pumping out mid-quality java disguised as a warm, fuzzy piece of pop culture. This distaste for the corporate giant has resulted in numerous blogs and Twitter accounts mocking Starbucks and its fans.
Whether you love it or hate it, however, Starbucks is taking over the world, one Grande Pike Place at a time."
