Starbucks issued an apology after its limited-edition Bearista cup sold out almost immediately, causing disappointment and backlash from customers unable to get one.
Bearista Cup Details
The 20-ounce glass cup is shaped like a teddy bear wearing a green Starbucks-branded beanie, clutching a small Starbucks cup, with a green-and-white straw sticking out of the bear’s cap.
“Who’s getting a bearista cup on 11/6 lmk,”
a November 4 Instagram post from Starbucks asked, showing the translucent, bear-shaped cup.
Fan Reactions and Viral Attention
- Bachelor alum Raven Gates commented, “If I don’t get one of these I’ll cry.”
- Influencer Elyse Myers expressed enthusiasm: “Oh my god I LOVE THIS.”
The excitement was palpable, but the supply was extremely limited.
Limited Supply and Backlash
The Bearista cups became available starting on November 6, but very few customers managed to purchase one. Many voiced frustration on social media.
“Petition for a re-release of the bear cup,”
commented one fan, while another wrote,
“I think I have a better chance at winning the lottery, then I do obtaining this cute bear cup.”
Several users noted their local Starbucks store received just one or two cups in total, highlighting the scarcity.
