The limited edition and 'while supplies last' giveaway began on Tuesday, September 22nd at participating nationwide Dunkin' locations, and it seems like many locations reported running out of the sweaters 'almost immediately' - this according to the New York Post.

In their press release about the collab, Dunkin' shared the following:

Inspired by L.L.Bean’s signature Birdseye Sweater and reimagined with a Dunkin' twist, the collectible cup sleeve blends together two beloved New England brands in one cozy fall accessory. Designed to resemble a miniature sweater wrapped around a Dunkin’ cup, it’s the perfect companion for crisp autumn mornings.

This dedicated fan visited three locations before getting their hands on the must-have item for lovers of all things coffee..

Though the sweater itself mimics the iconic L.L. Bean 'fisherman sweater,' the colors are the typical Dunkin' orange and pink.

Bear Cup 2.0?

You may remember last fall, another major coffee chain launched a collector's item that had people going bananas...

Remember this guy?

People are STILL, nearly one year later, talking about the viral 'Starbucks Bearista' cup, with all sorts of imitator variations being released in the months that followed, and some hysterical parodies on social media, too.
