Teddy Bear Trouble: Starbucks' Latest Holiday Cup Sparks Chaos

Starbucks' new holiday cup is causing quite a stir. The Glass Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup, shaped like a teddy bear wearing a green beanie, is priced at $29. 95. It's become so popular that people are fighting over it. In Houston, a brawl even broke out over the cup. Customers are upset because they can't find it in stores. Starbucks has apologized, saying they didn't expect such high demand. They promised more merchandise is coming, but didn't say when or how many cups will be restocked. People are really frustrated. Some have spent hours waiting in line, only to find out the cup is sold out. Others have gone to multiple stores, but still can't find it. Some stores only have one or two cups, which isn't enough for the demand. People are even buying them on resale sites for crazy prices, like $300. That's not fair to fans who just want a cute cup. But it's not all bad. Starbucks still has other holiday drinks available. Like Peppermint Mocha and Iced Sugar Cookie Latte. So, if you can't get the Bearista cup, you can still enjoy some festive flavors. But the question remains: why did Starbucks make such a limited supply of a product they knew would be popular? It's a lesson in supply and demand.
