Help me Understand Stanley Cups

People like to be a part of something larger than themselves: absent meaningful civic or religious life in this country, that presents as buying the same things that other people buy.

Perspectives like this are why I read DCUM...

It's also why Starbucks stock is in the gutter (before new CEO announcement). Starbucks cups and the green straw are not status symbols anymore, Stanley cups are.

Wall Street backed social media marketing campaign (i.e. psyop). People are sheep. EVERYTHING this viral is a psyop.

It's a stainless thermal cup. Made in China like all of them, probably at the same factory. You can buy it if you like to waste money. Same as a Yeti cup. Or you can buy the same thing for about $15 without the name. I have a nice 40 ounce cup with a handle I fill up in the morning to keep in my car and it stays cold until I drink it all down.

I don’t see the big fuss about them either way, I have a Stanley, it works well, I use it a lot, I just have the one so I’m not collecting a huge shelf of all the different colors, that’s about it.

+1. I have one because I wanted a larger water bottle with a straw and handle.

Honestly the people who rant about people who like trends like Stanley, bogg bags, Birkenstock, Lululemon, seem very sad angry. They seem to think that disparaging others choice on inane topics somehow will make themselves feel better about their own choices.

Sorry but secure and happy people don’t spend the time to disparage others water bottle choices. They just don’t.

Question - do you take your Stanley outside? The thought of the straw being exposed to the elements (including flies/bugs) and then drinking out of it is so gross to me but maybe I'm missing something? I use Yeti's with flip tops so the part my mouth touches isn't left out in the open or ones with screw top lids, which offer the same protection. I do have a Yeti with a straw that I use at my desk (I work at home) but I would never take it out of the house.

You can help for that issue, and good drugs.

Stanley has been a brand since 1913 so I'm sure you have seen their products at some point.

I think Stanley’s used to be for people who worked outside. Construction workers would take their day’s coffee to the job site in a Stanley. Funny how it went from blue collar utility to teen girl “fashion” accessory.

People are now treating these cups like their pets, with accessories and everything.

People are stupid op.

These cups are poisoning them too. You can't make the stupidity up!

Yongkang, China is where most of them are manufactured.

OK Elle Woods.

The Stanley mug isn’t any stupider than every other water bottle trend in the past. It isn’t necessary to haul half a gallon of water around with you everywhere. Men don’t do it, and they aren’t all dropping dead of dehydration.

Nothing even comes close to a Hydroflask. I don't understand why anyone would even buy anything else.

Is it the fast that you have to carry them by the handle in front of your body and display to the world that you own a Stanley Cup? My DH got me a Stanley recently, and I was thrilled at first, but a few weeks after using it, I think I'll be switching back to my Yeti.

I completely agree. How did women keep themselves properly hydrated before social media told them they needed these monstrosities?

Amen. Was a shame that I searched Google for Stanley Cup and the first few entries were these social media tumbler abominations.
