Best corporate April Fool’s joke I’ve seen today:

SEATTLE, April 1, 2010 – Starbucks announced today the introduction of two new beverage sizes in stores in the U. S. and Canada this Fall. Plenta™ (128 fl oz) and Micra™ (2 fl oz) cups arrive in Starbucks stores this Fall. Recognizing the potential impact the Plenta™ presents for municipal waste collection, Starbucks is also suggesting several subsequent uses for the Plenta™ cup post coffee enjoyment. Suggested usage options include popcorn receptacle, rain hat, perennial planter, lampshade or yoga block. The Micra also serves as a convenient milk dish for kittens, soft boiled egg cup or paper clip holder.

Considering the Trenta iced drink size they’re coming out with, I’d say this is a much-needed dose of self-satire.
