Hating things because other people like them is elitist, tiresome, petty and also really not desirable. Raise your kids not to be contrarian ass hats.

No one “hates” these items, but liking them just because everyone else has them is the definition of boring following. There is nothing special about these things to make them highly sought after based on the own merit. Literally the one thing amazing about them is someone else you think is cool has it so you should too. Bad values

I agree. Carrying around that giant cumbersome bottle of water that won’t fit in the backpack water holder cannot be pleasant.

I saw a 3rd grader yesterday carrying around a massive 40oz Stanley and I felt pity for her. Way to big for an 8 year old!

That being said, I LOOOOOVE my Stanley. It's so convenient to fill it up once and then it sits next to me on my desk all day. No need to keep refilling my 12oz water bottle that I had before. I don't walk around with mine though and it rarely leaves the house. It's pretty and very well made. I like the straw a lot too.

Lots of companies make bottles that are large, and of equal quality, as a Stanley. It's completely fine to say you love yours but let's not pretend it's something special. You got one b/c they're trendy, plain and simple. And that is FINE. But just say it instead of acting like it's something special.

The majority of moms posting on this thread are so trite. You’re like the drama of goth kids from high school that looked down on everyone else for being snobby or basic, when in reality you’re the judgmental snobby one and you’re following trends…just not basic, clean girl trends.

Who cares. It’s a water bottle.

Ok. Then just use the green Gatorade ones in the bulk bin at every sports store for $5

Okay. Did making fun of other people make you feel better about yourself now?

That’s what’s most annoying. Overpriced, trendy, and it has ONE JOB and it doesn’t even do that well.

Drink water with meals, before you leave for school, intermittently in the halls between classes if needed, when you get home. No one needs to walk around with a giant 40oz water jug everywhere

+1. And so they can spend half the class periods in the bathroom? No.

PP here. Sure, you can say that. But I have several other brands and don't like them as much as my Stanley. It's a well made water bottle and $45 isn't that much to me. Hydroflasks were similarly priced. DH and I did a test once and none of the other water bottles kept ice the way his hydroflask did. I don't use ice in my Stanley, so I can't speak to that.

For some reason it made me cringe.

That reason must be jealousy.

DP. Oh, honey, no. No one is “jealous” of cringey, faddish behavior like this, especially in adults. “The other girls don’t like you because they’re just jealous” is just something your mom told you to make you feel better. You were supposed to stop believing it once you left middle school.

My Stanley quencher doesn't leak. It's the one I carry in my purse to work. It's the one with the flip top straw.

And nobody is jealous of your cringy, sour personality. You do you. Probably some cheerios in another thread for you to piss in. Maybe a dog outside for you to kick.
