The collectible cups, which were designed from "the creative genius" of Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla, are double wall-insulated, dishwasher safe and BPA free and can hold hot or cold beverages.

Stripes officials said it created new cups after seeing an overwhelming demand in the first release of collectible cups. This year's cups are designed in anticipation of the 2019 Fiesta de la Flor event in Corpus Christi, which runs from April 12 to 13.

The cups will also be sold as a set at Fiesta De La Flor.
