I also agree with what most of you posted above. If you want the drink, product, etc. then get it. But when a company says they'll donate to a charity, it's usually something this small. 5 cents per drink means nothing to them really. If they'll guarantee maybe a million dollars whatever the # of drinks sold is, then it's worthwhile.

I thought I had left a comment. Anyway I just love drinking green tea, sometimes with honey. I understand there are lots of antioxidents in this tea also.

What a joke. I think it is a great thing to donate, but really .05 cents off of an item that is almost pure profit is kind of offensive. Thats just a tax right off for them anyway. Just donate directly.

Yeah my sister and I both got the texts and were VERY disappointed. They aren't off to a very good start! We thought they would do more BOGO deals or buy one get one 50% off. Donating $.5 cents/drink is NOTHING, what is that 1% of every drink? Whoopdedo.

I love hot chocolate at night time and lattes in the morning.

Yes, buying items to support charities is bogus. You are better off directly donating. Just go donate a dollar and skip the drink.

Was anyone else disappointed by this? Only $.05 of my $5.00 drink goes to charity- and no discount at all!
