Could have gone worse. they could have stacked the rolls up into two towers and then put a little alcohol on top and lit it on fire.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to honor all the men and women hard at work erecting the new WTC?

I’ll split them with you. Do you like Anchovies, because I’m not partial to them at all.

What’s really unpatriotic is that they don’t have all their pizzas as flags, all year round.

Meh. Most outward displays of patriotism I see are cynical marketing ploys. I’m used to it.

As hard as I look at that, I still find it really hard to see 9/11 in that imagery (and I’m really good at looking at something and twisting it into something in my head).
If you look at that ad and it as an allegory for a plane flying toward the twin towers, you clearly have more imagination than I do.

It’s definitely a stretch, but apparently starbucks did in fact end up pulling the ad in 2002
The 2002 associated press headline sums it up pretty well: Starbucks Pulls Posters Showing Side-by-Side Drinks.

There’s even a Snopes page on it:
I realize my previous reply was kind of snarky, and I found the whole “controversy” to be rather overblown – like it was someone desperately looking for something to complain about.
That said, it’s really not my place to judge someone else based on their emotional triggers. Just because I found the whole thing to be a silly non-troversy doesn’t mean that it doesn’t cause distress for others.
