I’d love to see what kind of sentences you can come up with these Starbucks word magnets. How many sentences can you make? This is not easy given the small range of words you get to work with (see article image). You can do silly things like, ‘You thought of tantalizing sidewalks,’ but that hardly makes sense! These magnets were in the stores at the same time that Starbucks was promoting the movie Akeelah and the Bee, a 2006 release. As I recall, after the box office run of Akeelah and the Bee, it was available as a DVD in the store too. (I think that’s right.) I love these magnets but I don’t dare break them up and put them on my fridge. Such ingenuity. I think Starbucks could do something like this again.
Now it’s your turn. What sentences can you make? Post a sentence in the comments. Have fun!
(I owe a big thank you to Chris Silk, producer of Starbucks Drama blog, who sent me these cool word magnets.)
(I hope I got it right that these date from the Akeelah and Bee Starbucks era. It’s funny, I clearly remember Akeelah and the Bee being in the stores, and I only vaguely remember the merchandise that went with it.)

Starbucks have word magnets? That is awesome, I’d like to have it at the fridge. Although I think it needs more colors to be more “Starbucks”. Anyway, I love it!… =)
I remember the Akeelah and the Bee time….I think ’06? I got the cd there, music from the movie but I don’t remember any dvds of it there. There was alot of little “Akeelah’ stuff then, I do remember that and the emphasis on words etc…but can’t clearly remember the details..beyond the cd.
@Deniser – Maybe it was the CD in the stores that I am thinking of. I distinctly remember Akkelah and the Bee merch in the stores.
Word magnets are always fun. I think I have 3 sets on my fridge, but alas, no Starbucks version!
Not sure about this but here goes- You can experience Starbucks and appreciate it when you feel something special. I guess what I am trying to say is that the SB experience is not only the customer service but the great customers that become friends. You can have a moody partner now and again, poor service now and again but it is friends you meet that make the difference.
Thanks for the shout-out Melody! “There’s something special about …” StarbucksMelody.com!
The first thought of your day is coffee.
Appreciate notes under doors…
This is fun!
@Kitenarie – That’s really good! I love the “Appreciate notes under doors” !
@SbuxDrama – Thank you again!
Very cute magnets, Melody!
“Recognize the delicious aroma of Starbucks coffee”
You have a special feeling when Starbucks* recognize you and you experience
a cup of delicious coffee blend.
Oooh I’m gonna have fun with this! I love word games!!!
“Appreciate and experience each day.”
Oooh this is fun! I love yours Hayley. “The subtleties of a feeling and you tingle.” !
Welcome Dixie! Great sentence!
Melody! Perhaps the greatest Starbucks Card promotion on the planet!
“Once in a great while, a movie comes along that makes us want to stand up and cheer.

Great magnet! Now I kind of want one for my fridge to see what my family comes up with… Maybe not my teenage kid brother, because he’ll probably try and make something dirty out of it!! 😉
