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?
Everyone's being all wink wink understated and you come in here all Leroy fucking Jenkins.

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?
Context ?
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.
It next cupped hands. Unga bunga.
Pfft, cupped hands? I just hold the water in my mouth until I get thirsty

It's the next Sigg?
I bought a Sigg in 2009. I will never forget. It was the first aluminum reusable water bottle in existence AFAIK. It came from Switzerland and I didn't have much money at all but it was so important to me that I have this and I ordered it through the mail. Am a hydrohomie and I used that thing until it died 💦
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.
Thanks
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.

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.

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

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 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.

Marge is in the back with her hair down.
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.

Hey look, you were able to think of a way that metal coffee tumblers are better!
lol yeah I'm not bringing that monstrosity in my car. Stainless steel is perfectly fine.

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.
