Apparently, geographical errors are a trend for promotional products in 2016. And, if there's one thing that end-users can't stand it's finding their states' icons misrepresented. Starbucks learned that lesson the hard way, according to The Oregonian.
While Starbucks' holiday cups were met with resounding approval (for the most part), the company's Oregon-themed travel mug did not go over so well. The new drinkware item featured notable landmarks, like Crater Lake and the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. And, of course, Starbucks wanted to pay homage to the beautiful rapids at Klamath Falls with a waterfall image. There was only one problem: There's no actual waterfalls at Klamath Falls.
