Starbucks has whipped up quite a frenzy this week. Not only is the coffee chain's Red Cup Day coming soon, but there's also a new piece of merch that sent fans running to their local Starbucks: The glass bear cup known as the "Bearista."

But so many folks encountered sold-out Bearistas, with social media comments that suggested there weren't enough stocked for all the demand.

That led to a statement from Starbucks to People with an apology.

“The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations and despite shipping more Bearista cups to coffeehouses than almost any other merchandise item this holiday season, the Bearista cup and some other items sold out fast," it read. “We understand many customers were excited about the Bearista cup and apologize for the disappointment this may have caused.”

We'll see if more Bearistas are in stock soon enough.
