Starbucks is launching new color changing cups later this month — the coffee giant's first foray into reusable cups following the coronavirus pandemic.

The Confetti Cold Cup has started showing up on social media over the last week. Starbucks told Business Insider that the Confetti Cold Cup, which changes colors when a cold drink is poured inside, and other summer-inspired merchandise will be available later this month.
