For some reason it made me cringe.


That reason must be jealousy.


I find 12 year olds dressing like 40 year old soccer moms hilarious.

Clearly you’re not on top of the style trend for teens. Probably not on top of the trend for your age group as well.

The one basic trend for some teens are Uggs crocs Lululemon and an oversized cup with a massive handle. There are many other trends that you are probably unaware of yourself.

We have regular stainless water bottles from Costco. They keep ice forever too. And cost a fraction of the Stanley. And no cups in the teen's room.

Look, I get the teen "coolness" factor. And it's fine as we've all been there. And I certainly don't begrudge it as a Christmas gift or whatever. I just kind of feel like . . . just say that then. Because you don't need a "Stanley" to keep water cold or hot.

Weren't Stanley cups 2022?

My 17 year old wanted one for Christmas last year (December 2022).

Strong feelings for something so innocuous. Also, you are wrong. When I taught at a private school one of our inservice days featured a presentation about how important it is for kids to be hydrated and how it affects learning. It’s really disruptive to have kids getting up and asking to get water. Do yes, kids should be carrying around water bottles. I attached a link about the link between cognitive performance and hydration.

How hydration affects cognitive performance and why it’s good to carry a water bottle.

Agree. There are equally good comparable water bottles out there. But your kid wants what some of the other kids have. Just say it. No big deal.

This woman’s car crashed, caught on fire, and the only thing that survived was her Stanley Cup, and even still had an ice in it!

It was great publicity for Stanley, and they even bought the woman a new car. My take away from that is that the cups are incredibly durable and keep ice cold for hours.

So then any Stanley would do? or does it have to be the latest craze pink one?

Except they aren’t even drinking from
Them. They are simply an accessory to carry around and look cool. Just like when kids ask to go
To the drinking fountain in the middle of class…it isn’t to drink water.

I would have if we would have been allowed to. I don't know why you'd be so militant about it.


+1. I sometimes wonder if I would have been a better athlete in high school had I been allowed to hydrate and eat a freaking snack midafternoon. I remember being at sports practices starving and thirsty and dreaming of drinking water.

But she didn't survive? Maybe Stanley needs to get in the car business.

Why does a dead woman need a new car?
