Other
Bucks
Tens
of thousands of visitors can tell the difference
between Starbucks® and other bucks. Now, you can, too!

This
is a Buck Deer. Buck means "male" when used this
way. We use it the same way. Haida Bucks are young Haida Gwaii males.
If you find one of these in your coffee cup, do NOT attempt to drink
him. Ask for a refill - quick! |

This
is a Buck Knife. It's named after the Buck Knife Company.
Maybe they should sue Starbucks® for trademark infringement.
Definitely do NOT drink this, but you can use it to stir your coffee
in a pinch. |

This
is Buck Owens, a famous country singer. Like Starbucks®
coffee, most people either loved him, or hated him. Not many people
in between the two extremes. We don't know whether he liked coffee
or not, but if he did, he probably brewed it at home. With Maxwell
House® or Chock Full O' Nuts®. |

This
is the actor who plays Buck Rogers on TV. Several women have
told us they'd like to share a cup of coffee with him, but would
prefer a more private setting than Starbucks®. Sorry ladies,
we don't know him, so we can't pass along any emails or marriage
proposals. |

This
is Pearl S. Buck, the noted author. As far as we can tell,
she preferred tea over coffee. In her day, there were no Starbucks®
stores, so she probably just brewed Lipton's® at home. Then
again, having written about the orient, she may have used loose
tea in a teapot. |

|
This
is Buck Henry, the noted writer, filmmaker and actor. Many
remember him as the original host of Saturday Night Live. We have
no clue as to whether he drinks coffee or not. |
Thanks
to all who sent email suggesting other Bucks for the page.
Hundreds wrote to remind us that Starbuck is a lead character in Battlestar
Gallactica.
One must wonder what Starbucks will do about that, now that the show
is being revived.
