Get Facial Steam Massages From Your Overpriced Cup of Joe

I can’t find the words to properly express how strange of an invention this is. It is a device that attaches to the top of a Starbucks cup and will give facial steam massages … with the steam from the coffee. Seriously, what the hell. Take away steam massage [WMMNA]
