Patriotic Big Yellow Cup Launches July 1
At the center of Dickey’s Independence Day celebration is the debut of a limited-edition Patriotic Big Yellow Cup, available beginning July 1 through September 30 for $3.99.
Designed as both a collectible and a functional beverage cup, the 32-ounce container features a red, white, and barbecue-themed design that highlights the spirit of American summer gatherings. The artwork includes the brand’s original Pit Master character, Mr. Dickey, symbolizing the company’s long-standing connection to family cookouts, community celebrations, and traditional American barbecue culture.
The cup serves as a seasonal tribute to the brand’s heritage while also offering guests a keepsake to mark the historic milestone of America’s 250th anniversary.
In addition to its patriotic design, Dickey’s has announced that a portion of proceeds from each cup sold will be donated to The Dickey Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting first responders across the United States. The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to community service and public safety support.
