So, you know how Starbucks dropped that adorable limited-edition “Bearista” cup last Thursday...it’s a glass cup shaped like a little bear holding a Starbucks drink, and it has this cute green beanie lid.
People went nuts for this thing. It sold out almost immediately, and now resellers online are asking insane prices!
Like anywhere from around $170 all the way up to over $1,000… for a cup that originally cost about 30 bucks.
And get this... there were even claims that some Starbucks employees snagged them before customers could, which only made the frenzy worse.
And of course, because the hype is real, dupe culture kicked in.
Now there are look-alike bear cups popping up on Amazon and Walmart for like 20 bucks. They look super similar.
Starbucks said they sent out a huge amount of these cups... more than almost any other holiday item but even with that massive stock, they still couldn’t keep up.
It's giving Stanley Cup energy meets Trader Joe's mini totes chaos like when everyone suddenly had to have LaBubus.
