I remember reading about this. Basically a bunch of people got offended over the fact that SBux made the holiday cups just a solid red one year and threw a fit because they thought God really cares about snowmen and Christmas trees on cups that end up in the trash anyway. So they boycotted it, or, even better, they went to the store, paid for a drink, and then threw it away.

Hi, 206xxxx here. What do you mean 'Red Cup Theory'?

evidently there’s some fandom around the red cups and how they are satanic or say something on the bottom of the cup

Here is what's up. Back in the winter of 2015 or 2016 (I forget because the years blend together now) Starbucks made a $1 which harkened from the style of the 1960's Christmas ornaments. In the past Starbucks had made holiday cups with snowmen or other Winter themes. Super conservative Evangelicals took this ombre red cup as an 'erasing Christ from Christmas' and boycott Starbucks for maybe a month.
Years later people ravenously show up on Red Cup Day to get a free reusable cup with their order. Ironic isn't it?

Unpopular opinion... I really enjoyed the solid red cups...

I liked them too. They were simple and clean.

And no there is nothing written on the cups or satanic in nature about the cup designs. Just good holiday fun.
