Starbucks released color-changing cups. They're already selling out
From glittery unicorn Frappuccinos to matcha pink drinks, there's no question that Starbucks likes to colorize your favorite caffeinated beverage.
Now, to become more eco-friendly, the coffee chain is introducing colorful reusable tumblers that can brighten up any cold beverage.
This week, Starbucks quietly released a five-pack of reusable cups that change color when you fill them with an iced drink. The ombré colored cups are available at Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada, and they've reportedly already sold out in some locations.
The cups hold 24 ounces of liquid and a set will run you $16.95, according to Newsweek.
I called 4 Starbucks for the new color cold cups and THEY ARE ALL SOLD OUT. ALL OF THEM.

The five color options and how they transform with cold liquid:
Rose: light pink to coral red
Citron: yellow to emerald green
Sky: light blue to cobalt blue
Apricot: light orange to tangerine
Arctic: teal to raspberry pink

The Seattle-based chain is also celebrating summer by bringing back three old favorites – the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and the Frosted Doughnut Cake Pop (vanilla cake dipped in a chocolaty coating shaped into a mini doughnut topped with sprinkles).
