What is BASS TRUCK REACTIVE?

From the FAQ of a mysterious organization called Bass Truck Reactive:

Q: Where did the name Bass Truck Reactive come from?

A: It's an anagram of Starbucks Creative. Or a palindrome. We forget which. Not really, we just like saying the word "palindrome." It sounds like a delicious pastry, like a "ladyfinger" or "creme-filled bismarck."

And Jim forwards this communication from Steph:

Check out this fine t-shirt designed by me and my artistic son. He did the skeleton, I did the words. It says "Qui vit bien ne regrette rien."

I have it on reliable authority that this shadowy organization bears full responsibility for every "Black Apron", "Venti" and "Grande Macchiato" blurb that a person ever reads inside a Starbucks coffee shop.

Yet when I tried to pierce the creative veil of this organization with my own highly-imaginative proposed coffee label, I was turned away.

But I'm not bitter. No.

That's the way the cookie crumbles
