Brooklyn Writer Selling Used Starbucks Cup on eBay

Brooklyn comedy writer Greg Dorris, who lives in Park Slope, went viral this week when he posted a pic of his Starbucks cup on Twitter.

“Guys does this say Greg or Corey,” he wrote — a comment on his barista’s handwriting, as sloppy as Starbucks tradition dictates yet delightfully versatile.

Buzzfeed re-Tweeted it. The Daily Mail picked it up and branded it the second coming of #TheDress. The rest is history.

“Wow. I never thought I would go viral but here I am!” Dorris wrote on Facebook. ”Yesterday was the most miraculous day of my entire life.”

He also announced future plans for #TheCup.

“After a lengthy (though one-sided) series of emails with Sotheby’s, I have decided to make the cup available on Ebay,” he wrote.

As of press time, a total of 13 bidders had pushed the going price up to $14.50. (Which is still a good Hamilton higher than the price of the “grande cold brew iced coffee with whole milk” that Dorris purchased at a Starbucks in Midtown Manhattan.)

As advertised on eBay:

Greg decided to post a picture of the cup on the Twitter.com and before he was even finished drinking the coffee, the post when viral. It is now a certified internet sensation on par with or greater than #TheDress.

Have at it. With your help, one Brooklyn comedy writer can reap the benefits of going viral long after the Internet forgets.
