A container and shrink label system, comprising:
- a conically-shaped container having a top edge and a bottom edge, and a continuous side wall disposed between the top edge and the bottom edge;
- a first label locking feature formed into the side wall circumferentially around the container in proximity to the top edge of the container;
- a second label locking feature formed into the side wall circumferentially around the container and spaced apart from the first label locking feature,
- a rotatable shrink label having an upper border and a lower border and positioned around the side wall such that the label upper border is in contact with and conforms to the first label locking feature, and the label lower border is in contact with and conforms to the second label locking feature;
- a removable game piece coupled to the container that comprises a game piece indicia;
- and
- a cup indicia located on the cup, the cup indicia comprising a QR code, which causes a QR scanning device to execute a function that causes the QR scanning device to display instructions to input the game piece indicia which is used by the function to determine whether the game piece is a winning game piece to thereby complete a promotional event.
