Collectable Cups Are A Nostalgia Bomb Here In Texas

Collectors cups have been a promotional tool used by restaurants since the 1970s, according to Eater.com. As a person who was a child in the 80s/90s, I hit the sweet spot for collector's cups.

I remember fondly drinking out of my Welch's jam cups (my favorite had purple dinosaurs on it), and I still own a Garfield mug that is treated with much reverence in my kitchen cabinet.

Chances are good you have a memory of a beloved collector's cup- and now you can make new memories with one of our favorite Texas brands.
