Why did you have to remind me.
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.
I thought Stanley Cup is a hockey thing?
And there are clearly 3 girls and 4 cups in the picture, you silly billy.
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.
I know what 2 girls 1 cup is but I don’t understand what else is being referenced in this image.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Also jump scares… So much jump scares.
