Fights erupted in Starbucks stores in China, as well as in the new limited edition "Cat Paw Cup" that went on sale this week.
The cup is a double-walled cup with a cat-shaped inside. When you pour a drink inside, the paw of the cat becomes more visible.
The goblets were officially put on sale Tuesday for 199 yuan (about $ 30) and quickly ran out, which caused some customers to fight for the chance to buy one of the remaining goblets in The stores, CNN reports.
The mug is far from being the first limited-edition mug sold by the coffee chain. Starbucks often sells limited edition cups that are specific to the market. For example, around the holidays, he has already sold a red limited edition goblet in American stores. These cups are often found on the secondary market.
After the start of in-store fights, Starbucks announced that it would also sell the cups in its e-commerce store. A thousand cups were supposed to be available online every afternoon from Thursday to Sunday. After the first batch of 1,000 cuts sold online in one-tenth of a second, Starbucks changed course and chose to sell the remaining 3,000 cuts in one go on Friday. These cups sold in less than a second as well.
China is the second largest market of Starbucks behind the United States.
