**AITA for Thinking the New Miffy X Starbucks Collab Is Peak Late-Stage Capitalism?**

AITA for thinking the new Miffy x Starbucks collab is peak late-stage capitalism?

Okay, so Starbucks just dropped a collab with Miffy (yes, the egg-shaped Dutch rabbit that looks like it’s permanently mid-panic attack). And the internet is LOSING its collective mind over a $45 ceramic cup that’s basically a white mug with a tiny rabbit face and zero functionality.

Like, are we all just gaslighting ourselves into thinking this is cute? The mug has a literal hole in its head for your thumb, which is both ergonomic and vaguely terrifying (TL;DR: you’re holding a rabbit brain). People are already scalping these for $200 on eBay, and I’m supposed to be impressed?

Meanwhile, Miffy’s creator, Dick Bruna, is rolling in his grave because his entire ethos was “simple, minimal, and affordable.” Now you can’t even buy a sad little bunny-shaped cold brew without taking out a loan.

AITA for thinking this is just a cash grab for people who say “cottagecore” unironically and have never read a single Miffy book? Or is it genuinely iconic?

Verdict from the comments: You’re NTA, but you will be barred from the “Soft Girl Aesthetic” subreddit for life. Enjoy your $45, corporate-sanctioned serotonin deficiency. 🐰☕️
