According to UNAIDS there are around 33.2 Million people living with AIDS and this includes about 2.5 million children. I'm sure many of you remember this post on Product (red) a charity set up by Bono to raise money and awareness for AIDS in Africa. Well the latest company to get involved is Starbucks and I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the following:Anyhow if you purchase any of these 3 holiday drinks 5 cents will be donated to Product (Red) and today since it is World Aids Day there will be 5 cents donated for every beverage purchased.
Espresso Truffle
Gingersnap Latte
Peppermint Mocha Twist (this one sounds SO good!)
While I think it's great they are making an effort and I definitely wouldn't mind some yummy coffee I feel like if I am purchasing it to support funding for AIDS programs I might as well just donate the 4 dollars and call it a day as opposed to just 5 cents. I am sure that they will raise a lot and like I said it's awesome that they are joining forces with Product (Red) but if it's really something that matters to you then it seems a little silly! What do you guys think?

Is it any of those 3 drinks everyday? Because I could have a gingersnap latte everyday!!!! Or was it just 5 cents on Monday? I hope it's everyday because it will add up quickly.
