| Starbucks Mobile Pour Tweet from the official @Starbucks Twitter account |
The text of the tweet from the official @starbucks Twitter account was "Introducing Starbucks Mobile Pour. Coffee delivered to you, on the go. Faster than you can say abra-arabica. http://sbux.co/gr07vd"
So clever - I love the "abra-arabica" touch.

I love this 2011 Starbucks April Fool's Joke. It claims to be inspired by a post on the MyStarbucksIdea blog - "Maybe free delivery??? :) There are plenty of times, especially in the middle of winter when it would rock to have Starbucks come to me!!!!!"
PAST STARBUCKS APRIL FOOL'S JOKES:
2010 was of course the year of "Plenta" and Micra" sizes - and the hilarious photos. The 128 oz. Plenta, from the Italian for "plenty," which was guaranteed to quench your thirst, and then the 2 oz. Micra, for the sip of coffee.
2009: After a little searching, I found the 2009 Starbucks April Fool joke, which was a product that promised to dispense coffee from your USB port. There's even a news article about it, which had a photo.

There was also a fake Twitter account, @SBUXPlugPour, but it isn't active now.
2008: As of right now, I can't find anything that confirms a Starbucks April Fool's prank in 2008. If anyone does know that the company did something in 2008, please let me know.
2007: Information on 2007 seems sketchy, but it looks like Starbucks and then-popular Twittervision partnered to created a giant logo behind the tweets that popped up on the global map.
