IIRC Starbucks put out some kind of window dressing advertisment in

Not even close! http://www.snopes.com/rumors/cool.htm

Yes, that's the one. Starbucks got a load of **** for those ads here in
the NY area when they appeared.

What do you mean, "yes, that's the one"? You described a depiction of
"towers of coffee crumbling". The actual ad merely showed two cups of
coffee sitting placidly in a field of grass! (And the ads were displayed
for a month or two, not "a day or two".)
