Grip-Integrated Cup Sleeves

The Dunkin'-Inspired PopThirst Sleeve Helps to Hold Cups

— August 18, 2020 — Lifestyle
Dunkin' and PopSockets teamed up to create Dunkin'-inspired PopThirst sleeves with PopTops, so that coffee lovers can enjoy a favorite beverage with even more ease. The sleeves offer the added benefit of style, comfort and temperature control, so that sipping on summer beverages is all the move enjoyable.

These new sleeves are a limited-edition release as part of the PopSockets' 'Poptivism' charitable program, meaning that 50% of the sales from the products goes towards supporting the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation—and its mission to help kids in underserved communities.

Appealing to coffee lovers and donut lovers alike, there are a pair of uniquely patterned non-slip sleeves to choose from, including one with a strawberry frosted donut PopTop and another with an iced coffee-themed PopTop.
