The Starbucks Dreamer Day Hoax originated in August 2017 as a coordinated campaign by 4chan's /pol/ board, titled 'Operation Dreamer Day.' Users created convincing fake promotional flyers claiming that Starbucks would provide free beverages to undocumented immigrants on a specific date. The hoax was designed to spark political controversy and trick people into showing up for a non-existent event. While Starbucks quickly debunked the ads via social media, the professional-looking graphics became a legendary example of internet trolling. Today, the template is used to mock corporate virtue signaling, internet misinformation, and the chaotic nature of viral rumors.
