Made by a mediocre hand tool manufacturer no less
Nope. Completely different companies. They’ve been making insulated bottles since 1913.
I’m just amazed that anyone thinks a metal coffee tumbler is superior in any way.
Here’s the ultimate way to drink coffee, after years of experience trying different things:
- large double-walled borosilicate glass mug. You can find several versions of this on amazon, get one that fits your cupholder.
- plastic lid from any other travel cup for when you need it, usually it fits pretty well
The only downside is you will occasionally drop it and it will shatter into a million tiny pieces.
That is quite expensive, maybe two girls can share one…
I don’t get it. Men go around for years carrying Yeti tumblers and no one bats an eye. Women start carrying a similar cup with a handle and everyone acts weird.
Because limited edition cups of the brand I used to buy at the Flying J truck stop for $12.99 now costs $150, and the resale value is $200. People are buying a half dozen or more to go with whatever they’re wearing. They’re Stanley mugs for heaven’s sake.
It’s absolutely stupid, and Yeti was just overpriced trendy stuff, not the equivalent of a Beanie Baby fad as a fashion accessory.
Can’t wait until these fools are stuck with piles of worthless mugs they wasted money on. You’ll find these mugs at yard sales or Goodwill in a few years. Good for Stanley makers, though. Hope they laugh all the way to the bank over this vapid trend.
Edit: TBC I think the overpriced Yeti gear is dumb, but I never thought of it as being “gendered”. Plenty of women had Yeti gear. The levels to which this Stanley thing is being taken is ridiculous, and it seems to be predominantly a female thing as a fashion accessory. It’s not dumb because women are the ones buying it up, it’s just dumb because it’s dumb. IDC who the suckers are.
I’ve seen people make jokes about those. I thought the thing was the joke at first, it’s so uncomfortable and strange looking. I guess it was a popular Christmas gift for some reason.
