The Dip 'n Sip is a cup that comes free with any nugget, dip, and beverage purchase. This unique snacking tool allows users to enjoy their Auntie Anne's [Pretzel Nuggets or Mini Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shock-top-and-auntie-annes) by eating them from the top of the beverage cup. While the Dip n’ Sip is not reusable at Auntie Anne's locations, the company encourages customers to utilize it at home or while out and about, promoting a [hands-free approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hum-hum) to enjoying their favorite snacks. The Auntie Anne's Dip 'n Sip is available at Auntie Anne's locations across North America.
