I Don't Get It...

Okay, I'll admit there are a lot of products on the market that I don't quite get. While shopping for a new bride last weekend, I came upon an egg cracker that sold for $14.99. Even my 8-year-old agreed you don't need to pay $15 to crack an egg!
But here is the one that really has me scratching my head. The so-hot-it's-hard-to-find reusable Starbucks cold cup. Looks identical to your regular, disposable cup, but it's not. If you read their website, they pat themselves on the back for listening to customer comments and bringing this "green" cup back by popular demand - and in a new bigger size!

Maybe I'm the only crazy one, but doesn't it seem weird to make a "green" cup that seems to celebrate the millions of other plastic cups being thrown away every day? I do get that these cups will be reused, but somehow the design still just doesn't feel right to me. Feel free to disagree in the Comment section below. I'm fairly certain I'm in the minority here since the bridal shower I went to this past weekend had everyone oohing and aahhing over these when they were opened as part of a gift.
