It's not even September yet and Starbucks is already getting us in the Halloween spirit [1] with a brand-new tumbler straight out of our witchiest dreams. The coffee chain has slowly started releasing matte black reusable cups [2] that are positively covered in spikes, save for a smooth circle-shaped portion where the signature Starbucks logo is featured — seriously, even the lids have spikes on them! Is it just us or does this cup look like something the Sanderson sisters would deviously sip Witch's Brew [3] from?
If this all-black 24-ounce drinking vessel is giving you a sense of déjà vu, it's because Starbucks has sold reusable coffee cups with similar studded designs in the past. Remember that overly glitzy iridescent cold cup [4] that hit shelves last September and its rose gold counterpart [5] that debuted in May? Both tumblers had the same spiky texture as this new black version, which is rumoured to be widely released in late August [6]. Ahead, check out a few photos from Starbucks customers who've been lucky enough to snatch one early, and get ready to wait in what's sure to be a lengthy line once your local Starbucks stocks up on 'em!
