A viral tweet about a Tokyo bar set off a mini-buying frenzy in Philadelphia yesterday, as fans of glassware and public transportation flocked to one of Philly’s best hidden shopping spots in town, the SEPTA transit store.
On Tuesday, Mike Bird, the Economist’s Asia business & finance editor, tweeted images from a Philadelphia-themed bar in Japan, including Septa-branded pint glasses. Chris Olley, a Philly-based X, formerly known as Twitter, user took notice.
“I lost my mind when I saw SEPTA pint glasses at this Philly bar in Tokyo, so I googled it, and THERE IS A WHOLE LINE AND THEY ARE ALL ON CYBER MONDAY SALE FOR $4.87 PER PINT GLASS,” Olley wrote in a tweet that went on to aquire over 160,000 views.
The pint glasses quickly flew off the shelves of the SEPTA online store. A store employee who commented on the post said there had been “over 200″ shipments. SEPTA Norristown High Speed Line Pint Glass and SEPTA Bus Pint Glass are currently available.
