Starbucks Bear Cup craze of 2025
For a recent video project, I chose to do a news story on a current trend that seems to have taken over the internet – the viral Starbucks glass Bear cup that launched on Nov. 6, 2025. In the video, I spoke about the retail price of the viral cup versus what the item is now selling for online. Starbucks barista Kayla D., who witnessed the trend, gave me her thoughts on the whole ordeal. According to Kayla, baristas at Starbucks are still being asked whether or not they’ll be getting another shipment (she informed me that the bear cups will not be restocked at this time). Linked below is my YouTube video on the topic.
