About this Quote
This quote is a funny jab at Starbucks for their choice to begin putting spiritual quotes on their cups. Conan O'Brien is poking fun at the concept that Starbucks is charging a lot of cash for their coffee, and that the first religious quote they are placing on the cups is "Jesus! This cup is costly!"
