Waxman Staff Writer Apr 22, 2015 9:26 PM UTC Grumpy web users in need of a caffeine fix love to post photos of Starbucks cups that have their names misspelled. The goofs happen to [celebrities](http://www.m-magazine.com/posts/ashley-argota-s-name-gets-spelled-wrong-at-starbucks-56661), and nearly 10 million people have watched parodies of the errors on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPbrlNsMTg4). Now, with this new [“What’s My Starbucks Name?”](http://www.whatsmystarbucksname.com/) generator, fans of the meme can enter a name and a photo of a coffee cup with a totally different name will appear. _Bob’s Burgers_ writer [Justin Hook](https://twitter.com/justinhook/status/590556090099699714) created the app using cup photos from the “Starbucks Name Fail” and “Starbucks Spelling” Tumblrs. ### Go Inside Starbucks' Wild New 'Willy Wonka Factory of Coffee'  On Dec. 5, founder Howard Schultz debuted part of his new strategy for Starbucks: his first flagship “Roastery,” a 15,000 square foot space that is both a coffee roasting facility, and a consumer retail outlet. The place is to coffee what FAO Schwartz is to toys or Dover Street Market is to fashion—retail theatre.
