The hunt for Starbucks' new Snoopy Glass Cold Cup begins Tuesday in California (and across the nation), where fans are already wondering how long the item will stay in stock.
The limited-edition cup has generated significant online buzz ahead of launch, with shoppers discussing early-morning Starbucks runs, reseller concerns and how difficult the item could be to find once stores open.
Starbucks has imposed a two-per-customer purchase limit on the $39.95 Snoopy Glass Cold Cup, an item inspired by "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." The collectible cup is shaped and painted to resemble the popular "Peanuts" character and beagle Snoopy. He's wearing a scarf, and the lid is shaped to look like a beanie.
"The return of Pumpkin Spice Latte and
'It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' are both enduring signs that fall has arrived," said Dana Pellicano, senior vice president, global product experience at Starbucks, in a Sept. 3 news release.
While Starbucks has not said the cup will sell out, social media discussions leading up to the launch were filled with concerns about availability, inventory and how quickly stores could run out.
