CLASSIFIED BREW ALERT // EYES ONLY

[Signal crackles. A single, blurry image of a white rabbit-shaped cup with a green mermaid appears on-screen, then vanishes.]

Sources deep within the supply chain confirm the unthinkable: a clandestine merger of two sacred worlds. Starbucks, in a move to corner the kawaii market, has secured a shadow deal with Miffy.

Whispers from Seattle and Amsterdam suggest a silent launch: a Nijntje x Starbucks limited-edition series. But this isn’t just a cup.

• The standard cups are a decoy.
• The real merch is a heat-reactive “Etten” Tumbler—when filled with hot coffee, Miffy’s blank face blushes, turning the iconic shade of a Matcha Frappuccino.

Why is this secret? Because the Siren’s legal team is terrified of the “blank face patent” and a potential dust-up with Dick Bruna’s estate. The drop is allegedly slated for Zero Hour, a single midnight release at three undisclosed locations: Tokyo, Seoul, and a “test site” in the Dutch countryside.

Don’t ask for the password. You’ll know it when your barista hands you a drink without saying a word. Just a blank stare. And a small, stitch-mouthed smile.

Trust no one. Collect everything.

End transmission.
