Thanks @starbucks for the beary well packaged mystery bear cup!

There's another box inside. mrthomasenglish opens his Starbucks parcel to find shredded paper, more wrapping and an increasingly elaborate route to a single mystery cup.

Starbucks sent him the promotional package, but his running commentary is less about the gift than the effort required to reach it. "Hopefully it's a coffee, 'cause I'm exhausted!" he says as the unpacking continues.

The Short drew an estimated 365,000 views in its first day, nearly six times his usual Shorts opening. In the comments, viewers keep returning to the disproportion between the boxes, the filling and the little cup at the center. His giggling through the mock frustration gets its own attention, too.

Eventually, a gold box yields a gift card and another mystery box. He's hoping for Reiny, the reindeer design. Instead, the foil wrapper reveals Joy, a polar bear cup with a snowglobe lid, accompanied by a collector card.

Mystery openings have been sharing space with his America-and-England sketches: recent uploads include a jumbo Grinch capsule and Pokémon Happy Meals. The bear-cup hunt also has a follow-up, "Opening Starbucks Bear Mystery Cups!", which is drawing a faster-than-usual opening audience of its own.
