Why complain about how much money they give away to Africa?

Most companies doesn't give ANYTHING ! ! !

The idea behind Product(RED) is to tackle a difficult problem by getting commerce involved in the fight. Governments sure aren't getting it done. Public companies like Starbuck's need to be attentive to the bottom line. They are answering to shareholders. Five cents is something.

If you ranked (RED) against countries that contribute money for fighting preventable disease in Africa, they would be 13th and the anount they contribute grows every year because companies like Starbuck's get onboard.

Sure. Because we all know how credible Starbucks is.

starbucks is not the only company joining up with (red) many other companies are as well. Not only did starbucks do the exclusice drinks they also made a gift card that is (red) and for every drink no matter wich drink it is 5 cents goes towards it. I think it is a great thing they starbucks is doing.

Heres a thought before complaining about it being "only 5 cents" think about how many of these beverages they sell a day. Lets say approx 200 per day per store minimum. That is 10$ per store per day. Not much? think again. Multiply that by 16,226 stores. Thats is $1622.60 per day now multiply that by 36 days that makes the minimum amount donated to charity $58,413.60 which will defiantly make a HUGE difference
