$45 for a cup?!

That is quite expensive, maybe two girls can share one…

You know what’s cheaper than that? Being one guy with a jar.

And a my little pony figure.

Any other use is dangerous

Do you mean the cum jar?

Oh, have Gen Z rediscovered the thermos flask?

Yes, but they’re calling it a “Stanley cup”

In Canada it’s legal to cross check anyone who calls a thermos a stanley cup.

You didn’t have to preface “cross check” with “In Canada”.

Is that because it’s made by Stanley instead of Thermos?

There is a water jug & mug manufacturer named Stanley. Apparently these “Stanley” brand cups went viral on TikTok, and TikTok users proceeded to buy them all up in a craze. The meme shows homer sitting next to the championship trophy of the National Hockey League, which is called the Stanley cup (no relation whatsoever to the Stanley name brand).

so it’s the next hydroflask?

It’s the next Nalgene Canteen. Get off my lawn.

Love the thoroughness of this. The only detail I could add is that the pink version pictured is a Starbucks exclusive version. And if an expensive cup wasn’t enough, there is a market for add-ons to the cup like phone holders and shoulder straps.

TikTok is probably the most effective marketing platform in decades. Probably this generation’s equivalent of G.I. Joe and Transformer ~~commercials~~ cartoons.

Stanley cup craze. No, not the hockey Stanley Cup.

I will never understand why many consumers are so fucking stupid… 🤦

While everyone was busy buying up all the toilet paper I realized I don’t actually need it nearly as much as I had been using it, if I just shower afterwards, and ended up saving a ton of money.

Spending money on dumb shit is fun for them, and combined with… FOMO I guess… suddenly the marketing campaign is a real trend.

And judging from a few people I know IRL, they don’t even necessarily know that marketing/advertising is involved.

Can’t trust that bored-sounding narrator in that dikdok. Never trust anyone whose entire adverb repertoire is ‘literally’.

I’d actually pay $45 to have the Stanley Cup.

the huge hockey trophy?

Whenever there’s a stupidity expensive version of a functional thing, Coleman makes a version that’s as good or better for half the price: https://www.coleman.com/coolers-drinkware/drinkware/.

I really like the project farm video on this, fairly good information on the quality of these.

That’s a great video! Looks like I need to upgrade my whatever-brand water bottle to a Stanley!

I have a travel mug from Stanley that I love

https://www.stanley1913.com/products/classic-travel-mug-french-press-16-oz

It fits the water bottle holder on my bike. It secures well. I can use the French press part for coffee or loose leaf tea. It’s pretty bomb proof.

It’s weird to me to hear Stanley is big suddenly.

Is this a trend or something? My grandma got a two pack for $5 and i thought it was just some generic grandma cup. The thing sucks, it isn’t anywhere near worth that much money. It’s shitty for traveling (too big and unwieldy) and it doesn’t even seal as well as an actual thermos or bottle.

I prefer the crappy plastic bottle i got from work years ago, i could strap that thing to my belt if i went anywhere. Or wore belts.

Fuck plastic bottles especially older ones. Yeah, w all have a fuck ton of microplastics in our blood but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about it

I’d prefer a metal one, but this thing was free and it’s better than the grandma cup

Does using a plastic bottle for your water carry any sort of effect? I’m sure all the things stack up but I find it hard to believe that using a plastic water bottle instead of metal one really matters.

Published this week: 100x more microplastics from water bottles as thought before source https://www.sciencealert.com/bottled-water-is-packed-full-of-up-to-100x-more-microplastic-than-expected

It does if you do it for years. I use glass and metal whenever I can.

Depends on the type of plastic but they all release shit from natural wear.

There’s no way your grandma bought two Stanley brand cups for $5. I’ve been using a Stanley pint glass for years, and if I put ice water in at at night, there will still be ice in it in the morning. It’s vacuum insulated.

$45 for a 30 or 40 oz cup with a straw is too much because there are cheaper brands that do the same thing for half the price.

You will have to pull my 40 oz insulated cup out of my cold dead hands. Waking up in the middle of the night in the summer thirsty and being able to sip on water that’s still ice cold from 8 hours ago is so nice!

I recommend Zojirushi thermoses.

Zojirushi anything. High quality stuff, that.
