Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone isn’t just throwing punches on screen anymore — he’s throwing them straight at corporate America. And his newest target? Starbucks.

In a surprise announcement that sent the internet into full meltdown mode, Stallone revealed he is launching a new national coffee chain aimed at taking down what he calls “woke, overpriced, corporate caffeine.”

The name of his new venture?

👉 GRIT COFFEE: Coffee for People Who Still Have a Backbone.

Within minutes, hashtags like #GritCoffee and #UnwokeAmericano began trending online, with reactions ranging from patriotic excitement to full-scale outrage.

☕ “America Doesn’t Need Foam Art — It Needs Strong Coffee.”

During the announcement event — held not in Beverly Hills but outside an old steel mill in Pennsylvania — Stallone delivered a speech fans described as “half motivational, half war declaration.”

He said:

“This country used to run on grit — not soy, sprinkles, or $9 iced caramel clouds.

I’m bringing back real coffee for real people.”

The crowd cheered as Stallone raised a steaming cup labeled:

💪 “No Safe Spaces. Just Strong Coffee.”

🌎 What Makes GRIT COFFEE Different?

A leaked menu reveals offerings such as:

• The Free Speech Espresso Shot

• The No-Participation-Trophy Black Roast

• The Capitalist Cold Brew

• The Patriotic Pumpkin Spice (availability: YEAR-ROUND)

• The “Double Punch” Espresso — no milk, no nonsense

Baristas will not be called “partners” — their official title?

👉 “Coffee Commandos.”

Uniforms?

Flannels, boots, and optional bandana.

Stallone reportedly said:

“If you want latte art in the shape of a dolphin, go back to Starbucks.”

💥 Internet Reaction: Chaos, Comedy, and Culture War

The announcement instantly polarized America.

Supporters posted:

⭐ “Finally! A coffee shop where the cups don’t lecture me.”

Another joked:

😂 “If Stallone serves coffee the way he throws punches, I’ll need medical insurance.”

But critics fired back:

❌ “Oh great. Another celebrity trying to profit off outrage.”

One even wrote:

“Does the oat milk explode when you walk in?”

To which GRIT COFFEE’s official account replied:

“We don’t serve oat milk. Be strong.”

🧨 Starbucks Responds — Sort Of

While Starbucks did not comment directly on Stallone’s announcement, a spokesperson posted a subtle statement:

“We welcome creativity and diversity in the coffee space.”

That corporate politeness didn’t stop one commenter from adding:

“Translation: They’re sweating.”

🚀 Launch Plans

Stallone says the first 50 locations will open in:

🇺🇸 Texas

Florida

Tennessee

Arizona

South Dakota

When asked why those states, Stallone smiled and said:

“Because that’s where America still tastes like America.”

🎬 Final Word From Stallone

Before leaving the stage, Stallone delivered one final punchline — literally and verbally — knocking over a life-size cardboard Starbucks cup with a boxing glove and saying:

“It’s time coffee grew a spine.”

Whether GRIT COFFEE becomes the next great American brand or just another flash in the culture-war pan remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain:

☕ Sylvester Stallone didn’t just launch a coffee chain —

he launched a movement.

And America is watching.
