Get over it. It’s just a bear-shaped Starbucks cup.

I wonder how many people have gone insane over Starbucks’ Bearista cups. The madness went to Figment popcorn bucket levels. Did anyone have any luck?

I hadn't heard about this so I had to go look it up. For crying out loud, it looks almost exactly like the bears that honey comes in, only with a different hat. (And I guess it's glass, not plastic.) People really got in a beatdown over a honey bear? Sad.

I don't get it. These obsessions over cheap pieces of plastic or whatever they make this "specialty" stuff from is just beyond what I can understand.

I think it is adorable and would absolutley pick one up if I saw it on the shelves. However, I am not standing in line for one, getting into a fist fight over one, or spending hundreds of dollars to buy one on ebay.

$30 retail? For something my clumsy self is probably going to drop? Nope.

What's Starbucks?

Half the time I buy honey it comes in a little bear thingie.

There have been things I thought were cute and would like to have, but a bear cup is not one and no way will I stand in line or throw fists for one (or anything else really).

Nothing new, really. People have been acting like this for a while now, except social media enhances the awareness of it. Remember Cabbage Patch Kids? Or any "hot" Christmas toy, really.

Starbucks knows what they're doing when they do stuff like this. The whole "Oh golly gee, we didn't know how popular they'd be so we only made enough to give two or three to each store even though we've been making viral videos hyping them up for a month." is nonsense. They do it on purpose to create false scarcity just to get themselves in the headlines. So now when they make more, even more people rush to the store to buy one. Eventually, it will also result in a flooding of the market with a million different teddy bear tumbler knockoffs and then suddenly nobody will want one anymore. A couple of years ago it was the Stanley Valentine's cup at Target/Starbucks. Now Stanleys and Stanley knockoffs are everywhere and nobody gives a hoot.

And those knockoffs are another reason why I never buy Disney branded stuff outside of a Disney park, owned hotel, store or cruise…
