ANA (All Nippon Airlines), Japan’s largest airline, has teamed up with Starbucks to release a limited edition stainless steel coffee tumbler.
With it’s clean white color and charming little whale/rainbow combo, you can’t help but scream, “IT’S SO CUTE!!!” One of our reporters was so enthralled with the cuteness of this limited edition tumbler, that she stopped an unsuspecting bystander and demanded to know where she procured such an adorable item.
Be warned, the cuteness comes at a high price. 4,000 yen (US $50) to be exact.
But hey, ANA and Starbucks have thrown in a free on-the-go coffee kit filled with three Starbucks Via instant coffee packets. That cute little pocket pack has got to be worth the steep price tag.
We know what you’re thinking: Where do I get my hands on one of those? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this rainbow whale tumbler is only available for purchase on Japanese domestic flights on ANA.
Those of you outside of Japan, do not despair, we have the next best thing: a 20 second video of the tumbler and all it’s rainbow-y whale-y goodness WITH rotating action.
