I think that was the first porn I ever saw (I was like 12 years old). Really weird that back then, showing someone a disgusting or disturbing video was considered a good prank.

That era of Internet history was wild. Between weird sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

swap was a special beast. It was commissioned by someone at SomethingAwful, and it’s a masterpiece.

There is a consumerist TikTok craze for some expensive type of thermocup by the company Stanley.. It was also found to contaminate drinks with lead.

And these three ladies were in a skit on the US comedy TV show Saturday Night Live which was about that thermos hype.

Adding to that, Stanley Tumblers have become the latest status symbol for children as well as adults. So it’s not uncommon for a child to get bullied because their water bottle isn’t a Stanley Tumbler.

The fact that people think they need a water bottle in school is crazy weird.

Your article contains a statement from Stanley: “no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.” I don’t find anything supporting your claim that the cups were “found to contaminate drinks with lead.” Am I missing something?

You’re not wrong. They use lead to seal the vacuum. You will only be contaminated with lead if it gets damaged. Most other big popular brands moved away from lead to glass sealing years ago citing worker health and potential lead exposure if they get damaged.

As far as I know, they didn’t show to actually contaminate drinks. There’s just lead in places where it doesn’t come into contact with the drink. The lawsuit is for not disclosing this information. Or at least that’s how the article reads.

Edit: it was in California, where it’s mandatory to say whether or not the product has lead (and probably other things) in it.

There’s a company called Stanley that has been treating thermos releases like designer sneaker drops. Imagine the Hydroflask hype but limited releases causing high demand.

I haven’t actually seen any of the hype for the cup. I have only seen people complaining about the hype for the cup.

Do you consume the media on which it is popular? TikTok is the main source. I don’t have it installed nor do I watch the videos, so I have seen zero hype about it and only hear the complaints as well. However, a friend’s daughter is all about tiktok and the like, and yeah, she’s got 2-3 Stanley mugs. Dumbest thing ever. Can’t wait to see these mugs at yard sales for $5 in a few years.

Stanley is a UK brand that originally just made flasks. They started making cups in the same style as their flasks and for some reason they recently blew up online.

UK? I was fairly confident that it was entirely an American brand. Unless this is a different Stanley and not the one owned by PMI.
