# Championship Keepsake Bottles Snapple Brings a $2.99 Knicks Commemorative Bottle to Bodegas By Amy Duong | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/championship-keepsake-bottles References: [parade](https://parade.com/news/snapples-limited-edition-ny-knicks-bottle-is-finally-here-and-available-to-purchase)  Snapple is widening access to its Knicks Championship bottle with a bodega release that lets New York basketball fans buy the [commemorative drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-dew-commemorative-can) instead of chasing it through clue-based pop-ups. The [glass bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-24bottles) carries artwork tied to the Knicks' Finals clincher and marks the franchise's first championship since 1973. Starting Oct. 19, the bottle will sell for $2.99 at bodegas across metro New York while supplies last. The earlier summer drop was capped at 100 numbered Peach Tea bottles, so this release replaces the scavenger-hunt format with a straightforward store purchase. A matching cup for the home opener is also available at the Snapple Mini Mart with any Snapple purchase. The $2.99 price undercuts the resale-driven scarcity of the first run and turns the item into a regular checkout buy. Bodega distribution also keeps the collaboration rooted in neighborhood retail, giving Snapple a local way to scale a [sports collectible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chagee).
