There are many reasons to love Dolly Parton. From her over-the-top country glam to her humanitarian heart of gold, the country music superstar is a national treasure. Just last year, the Tennessee State Legislature tried to erect a statue in her honor until she graciously declined. Oh, Dolly! So, when fans found out about a new Dolly Parton branded product, it went viral on social media.
In a 2021 interview, Parton told TV host Andy Cohen she wasn’t a big drinker, but that she likes the occasional martini for two reasons—they’re “fancy” and they “hit you real hard, real quick.” Now, every fan can sip a martini like Parton herself. On her official website, branded martini tumblers are available like chic, adult sippy cups.

One Twitter user wrote, “this solves the inherent problem of the martini glass, too, which is prone to spilling.” You won’t spill a drop from this martini tumbler. Another fan wrote they’ve never “run to a website faster.”
There are more promo products, too. Fans can pick out denim shoelaces and socks or get tattooed (temporarily) in honor of the icon. Great promo is the country music legend’s latest success.
Parton recently released a new album, Run, Rose, Run, in March. Before that, Parton was in the news for another humanitarian effort. In 2020, she helped fund Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine research with a $1 million donation. Parton was a major funder and helped speed along vaccine development. Time Magazine named her as one of the 100 most influential people of 2021 because of this.
So, there are many reasons why people are buying Parton’s promotional products. The main reason? For the legend herself.
About the tumbler, one Twitter user jokingly wrote, “First, single-handily inventing the COVID vaccine and now this? What can’t this woman do?”
