@@houseofghouls1471 Dude I got robotix when I was a kid I was so happy. If my parents got me a boring ass thermos that wasn't even thermos brand with Wolverine on it I'd have definitely not been enthused.
It's so surreal seeing people go nuts for these and talking about Stanley like a designer brand. It'd be like if Black & Decker drills suddenly became chic.
every business is about to do something like this. when something proves extremely lucrative in eurocentric culture, all the parasites start their exploitation parade.
I would have lost ALL of my Christmas presents if I acted like that little girl when I was growing up. Seriously, there are some real spoiled brats out there.
Seriously, the look on her face before even opening the Yeti.. as she's surrounded by gifts.. utterly disheartening !! Total brat. Should have not bought her it at all as a lesson 😂
So true! Anytime I acted like a little girl my mom sent me to my room to, "Think about why I'm acting this way." Fortunately it didn't take many thinking sessions.
That isnt about "acting like a little girl" it is about the rude ungrateful , spoiled child that those parents have created and continue to encourage by buying her 2 gifts just so they can take a video to put online so they can get likes and views and validation from total strangers and total strangers can all repost it and get likes and views and validating from total strangers for posting about it . smdh @@bl8388
That child who dismissed her Yeti would have had NO TUMBLER because I would have taken the Stanley before she even opened it and returned it due to lack of manners and gratefulness.
Yup. She would have been taken with all her Christmas gifts to give them away at the closest woman's shelter. I would have kept clothes. Everything else..including toys in the stocking..would have gone to children in a shelter. And she would be in the car with me.
The problem with this is that people are just proving to retailers that they have scads of disposable income to drop on useless items. The same people complaining about high prices are the same people paying $160 for a tumbler. When they see you can afford $160 for a coffee mug, of course they will assume that you can also afford to pay for overpriced grocery products.
The fact that 10 year olds are excited about a container that holds water is beyond dystopian. Why is your 10 year old on social media?! My daughter is 8, she asked for toys, I'm doing a good job. 🤣
Honestly as much as I don’t support the craziness over these cups, a 10 year old being excited about a water bottle is a lot better than the many other alternatives kids are into now days (drugs, smoking, etc).
@@jazlyn2721There will always be kids into that stuff, definitely not just a nowadays thing.I was a preteen in the early 90's and lots of kids were drinking, smoking, using drugs etc. As for the cups, I personally don't think it's bad that kids want them, its a trend and kids will always follow those just like my gen did with whatever was trendy when I was a kid,but it is a little strange. I remember screaming with happiness when I got my favorite album for Christmas when I was 9. A kid screaming over a cup just seems odd, lol Then again I see adults doing the same thing and I don't understand it,lol. Guess whatever makes people happy 🤷🏼♀️
It's not bad to want a random cup as a child. What's bad is wanting a $50 cup and having parents who don't teach you the value of things beyond silly fads. So many better things you can buy or do with that money, even for the child. However, if the child sees the parent being the same type of foolish person who buys things without thinking, then oh well...
I must be living under a rock because I had no idea this was a thing. Got a few belly laughs 🤣 so thanks!

First it was Yeti, then Hydroflask, and now it's Stanley. It's insane how so many people have turned regular items like coolers and water flasks into must have fashion accessories.
i'm surprised with the amount of trolling online that somneone hasn't decided to use peoples stupidity against them and tried to make something like trash bags trendy
I was wondering why on earth my 9 year old niece was acting upset about not having a Stanley cup… I didn’t understand what she was saying, so I got my husbands good old green one out for her and she was more confused than I was. Now I understand.
When my father died, his Stanley thermos with his name engraved on it, passed to one of his grandsons. He had used it for many years on construction sites and we treasured it. It was not huge and completely utilitarian. A symbol of then and now.
@@8luvbugbecause they are overpriced, impractical and they don't do the same thing at all I have had a stanley thermos for years and its purpose is so i can make a pot of coffee and keep it for 3 days and it doesnt spill, then i put it in my also leak proof coffee cup
@@8luvbug but they don't. For example you can't put them in a bag or let them tip over. I'm not saying they are bad, just overpriced for what they are.

That little girl was very rude over getting a yeti. I wouldn't fathom behaving like that over a GIFT
This is just showing exactly why we have as many problems within this country as we do now; people are focusing on absolutely ridiculous products instead of real problems.
Agreed, but this isn't a new issue, but something that's been around and growing since consumerism became a thing. Remember the Pokemon craze? That was during the 90s when a horrible war was going on elsewhere. Products will always be used as a way to distract and placate the masses.
This was a troubling look into how easy it is to start a cult. “It has mold around the rim.” “I’m building my immune system.” “It leaks!” “I know, it’s annoying, but I got used to it.” 😳🙄 TFS! ❤
I mean seriously there's so many cups exactly like the Stanley band that are way better at being mold resistant and don't leak, and still have a straw and handle..... Stanleys suck, imo
The same woman will take home ... "You have a bruised face." "He beats me cuz he loves me." "He doesn't work and spends all your money." "It isn't ideal, but you get used to it." ^ the type of people who will make excuses upon excuses for their decisions.
Yeah...that did my head in, lol! It's like these dumb bitches have never heard of Milton tablets or similar. You know...that stuff that you use to disinfect baby bottles and gear? Yeah...those, lol! Use them religiously for kiddies drinking bottles, plastic or silicone straws, or anything else that is otherwise hard to clean. Not hard, people....
I’m a travel nurse and for Christmas my agency mailed me a gift. It was a giant Stanley thermos cup with a straw and I was quite confused by this, until I stumbled on this video in my feed. Thank you for making it all make sense now 😂
Same here.😂 A family member sent 3 of these for all the ladies in the family and I was so confused! I was like I have so many cups😅 Especially when my 11 year old and 19 year old were soooo excited😂😂
Don't follow the worldly trends follow Jesus Christ today There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
I died a little inside watching everyone go nuts for one of those cups.... They say we're only a few meals away from chaos if there is some sort of disaster that disrupts the supply chain. Imagine how these people would react to that?
I came across a Facebook group and could not believe the hype over these cups. It was full of women posting their tens of Stanley cups complete with accessories, nameplates, straw toppers. Some were showing off their rare colours and saying they will never leave the house or be used to maintain their value, and others were saying they were scared to use them in public in case someone snatched them. It's a bloody mug.
I’ve used the original green version in construction for over 30 years. It was a good cup but this is ridiculous. And no way in hell would I buy anything just because a so called influencer told me to. Now all they’ve done is raised the price so people that actually want to use one for its intended purpose can’t. These people are nuts and anyone that would do this needs their head examined. This is why I say that social media has ruined the world!
This status symbol cup reminds me of when the status symbol bottled water, Evian, was in fashion over 30 years ago. Evian spelled backwards is Naive! 😂😂😂
😂 Women and girls are destroyed by social media. There is no men or boys in this video except that thief, the Mexican boy, and like 3 dads. Everyone else is a girl or woman. They can't have an independent thought and need to follow every social trend. It's sickening.
The literal child CLAWING at the blue Stanley as if her life depended on it but also pushing away the yeti cup in disgust and ignorance SENT ME 💀💀💀 she’s literally being arrogant and entitled for a cup 🤣 this is PATHETIC and I blame the parents.
Its not even arrogant and entitled because the Yeti costs as much as the Stanley does, it's being gullible and a follower. It is one of those times where getting them nothing would be better than getting them the wrong thing, though
I think all 3 of my kids wanted the cool “it” item of their time, and yes I bought some of those things for them, because it brought them joy. The pressure to fit in is huge for kids and sadly it’s starting happening younger and younger. Seriously though if you can afford it, is it really that big a deal? I’m not saying that this girl shouldn’t have properly thanked whoever bought her the Yeti cup, absolutely that needed to happen.
@@traceydotts7842 as long as you're not having to buy them EVERY color, or new TRENDY cup each time. One trendy, "fit in with friends" item for Christmas is one thing. An overabundance, is another. And yes, Manners still count.
its crazy i guess im one of the few who always did my own thing and didnt care if people liked me or not i was alway the outcast kid like at lunch i was always the kid that sat by themselves i had like two friends that would sit with me but they also tried to fit in with the other kids and one of them wouldnt hang out with me at school cause they were getting made fun of but as i get older i find my faith in us as people just dwindling
I literally bought a Stanley thermos for under $10 at a local discount store this summer. I had no idea about the company or it's history but noticed that it was made very well. I do like it very much, but this is insane. 😮
I'd kill for a 10$ Stanley! I love their thermos and they're so well built. but the hip tik-tok Sippy-cup tumbler is just ridiculous. Can't put it in your bag, or else it spills, the lids are annoying to clean and to replace. It's perfectly built for the wine moms to hide their booze in public.
@@givemeyournachos BINGO ! You just nailed it ! That's why they have become so popular, because I don't know of any women that even remotely drink enough of anything else to need that big of a tumbler !
i've had a stanley for years to bring filtered water from home to my workplace and was relentlessly mocked by my other female coworkers lol the funny thing is, i'm still being mocked because i have the generic green one, not the straw ones
@@monicanavarro2906 I'm American & think it's disturbing and insane, too. Why can't people think for themselves instead of following trends? Or at least act like a decent person instead of fighting over an object. So sad.
@@miriamrobarts True, the hostility and rudeness is worse than the obsession... and all for what? For an object that just last year they'd consider as stylish as a Gatorade bottle. 🤦♀️
Trends are hilarious. My own 12 yr old daughter has one and told me that they're popular. She wasnt feeling it when I told her I have one for work and so do a lot of my male blue collar coworkers 😂 It's a thermos ladies lol!
As an aging steel worker still using the same green Stanley thermos and lunch box set I got for Father’s Day a lifetime ago, this boggles my freaking mind🤦♂️😂🤣😂🤣
I purchased one as a young railroad worker about a decade ago ..if you told me that short time ago my thermos i carried to work on a daily basis would be a trendy thing for 13 year old girls 10 years later i'd say BS 😂 Oh well, i give it a month to become old news and irrelevant.
I imagine a little boy a few years from now saying "Hey mom, why did you name me Stanley?". She smiles and answers "Well son, there were these tumblers..."😆
My son used to work at McDonald’s back in the day when they gave away McD Beanie Baby’s in the Happy Meals. They had people who ordered multiple meals and then just threw away the food. They also had many crazed parents pitching fits if they ran out or they didn’t have a particular one that they wanted! There will always be something!
@Miss_Florida_Winnerlady what are you talking about their are beanie babies that sell for thousands on the collectors market! I would say your grandmother is a pure genius.
There is a story about the warranty on one quart Stanley coffee "mugs". A bulldozer operator was working along on a rock/dirt/more rock and some small smattering of almost dry clay mud road. His "Stanley" fell onto the tracks, stayed on until the tracks ended, and the Stanley fell out in front of it. He slipped the Stanley into a large envelope and sent it to the company, explaining that the Stanley had been damaged, and explaining how. He wanted a replacement unit. A week later, h got the envelope back, with a note taped to it it said "Unbreakable. not indestructible, go buy a new thermos". they included a 5.00 off coupon.
I remember this type of madness in the 1980's when Cabbage Patch Dolls came out! I have a feeling that a year from now, we will be seeing these at yard sales 😂.
I work at a thrift store, and we have been selling the original Stanley thermos cups all the time. Next year, we will probably sell way more of the tumblers because they aren't as practical as the original.
When I was a young, kids tried to one up each other with clothes and Nikes. When kids started getting killed for their shoes and they realized fashion was causing kids to get bullied or marginalized, they made public school students wear uniforms. Every few years to dress some product that shows you won. Today it’s a Stanley, tomorrow it’ll be something else.
Yea why i don't even try, i was there for all the fads i don't care jordans are gross and now mostly worn by those who'll steal a soda or something else and still say "i get money" funny enough i stop people who have jobs to homeless that try it worse get way too much verbal disrespect for being alert. I seen the tides change and all bought into iPhones (given how anti consumer apple is) all so scared to pony up when their back glass breaks to oddly don't go to third party repair shops that beat apple and what they say is "unfixable" and still loads line up for the "new" one with less features then Android less customization and so on.
That’s how it was when I was growing up too ( in my neighborhoods anyway ). People got robbed or jumped for a pair of Jordan’s everyday. This was before the dumbed down cell phone era. 80s/90s.
I’m still trying to figure out why people are going crazy for a cup. Maybe one day, the same thing will happen with tooth brushes, or spoons, or book ends!
Supreme showed that people will buy anything with a simple logo on it so...... (they sold a brick with Supreme on it for $150+ or something) never was a hype beast but yea.
@@ALT-vz3jn yea, fads that kids go crazy over has always been a thing.. typically with things like toys, clothes, games and things that made sense for kids to be interested in but over something as mundane as a cup??🤨🤨 I'm 36 and that's new to me...🤷🤷
My mother in law randomly gave me one the other day and I'm almost scared to take it outside 😂 it definitely keeps the drink cold and the handle is nice but I'd never pay $45 for one and I'd never fight and trample people for one. People are crazyyy
I got a no name metal water bottle from Target on clearance for $3.99. I can put ice in it at night and it'll still be there the next day. I'm waiting for them to on clearance again so I can get one or two more to stock up.
@@carolwilliams8840 that's the thing, the Stanley isn't revolutionary and it should be for $45! I prefer my Thermoflask because it keeps it cold and it doesn't leak 😂 I need to check out the target clearance section next time I go!!
I was so confused when this first became a thing. I grew up on AF bases and the green Stanley thermos is military issue- we always had at least 4 in different sizes. My sister in law I told me she got one and how much they are and how it's a tiktok phenomenon and I was like, babe I could have just given you one
Hi, fellow military brat! Though I never asked, I always wondered if my Dad’s green Stanley had some sort of military connection (he’s retired Air Force). I think his Stanley is great; it’s really cool-looking, it’s sturdy, doesn’t leak, and does its job to perfection.
Crazy!! I got the Walmart Ozark cups when Yeti was a thing for $10 lol. They still work great. I only wanted them because Florida Summers get hot and they keep the drinks ice coold sitting in the hot car all day
It’s wild to me because in childhood, my father carried around his blue and red Stanley cup. He still has it and used to carry it to family functions, bbq cookouts and my mom would be embarrassed like “babe don’t bring that cup” 😂 and he has the green heavy duty one shown in the beginning of the video. He was the first person I knew of carrying a favorite cup around as an adult 😂
Something dark behind it. It's like when Wilkenson almost went bankrupt and made people who came out of the chill 80s, believe in the 90s, that it was a crime for women to have any sorts of body hair, just to sell more razors and knew females were easier to manipulate, when it comes to shopping. Everytime when something becomes so popular, even though it has been there for decades, i feel like there is a powrrful subliminal underneath it.
You forgot to mention the Utah Mom vloggers who begged Stanley to make these cups in cute colors like 3 years ago. The new CEO told the company they needed to listen to the moms.
@@jpt610 yeah but those MLMers are Mormons too. Its really fascinating to me. Its a really small segment of America's population but they dominate social media marketing and direct marketing.
@Christina-fw9dz it fascinates the hell out of me too. I've noticed the Utah Moms tend to fall under the MLM umbrella too, but also a growing trend is the Trad Wife culture, thats big in the Mormon regions. Which if you take it a step further, absolutely has political roots. It's crazy how they're all tied together! This whole thing has been so interesting to watch 😂
@@MelissaMayhem99 it all feels like one big Church of Latter Day Saints marketing effort. Like "see how aesthetic and wholesome we are?" Its a really bizarre aspect of the internet to me because influencers are always selling something and in this case I truly think church membership is the long-con. There is something so odd about their online presence that I can't place my finger on exactly. It feels like they artificially saturate apps like Tiktok like are the masses really clamoring to see old-timey housewives or is The Machine shoving this content down our throats?
Damn. I got my lavender Stanley in November and I’m all good. People are so conditioned to overconsumption. The whole point of a reusable bottle is to have ONE, maybe two.
I have my dad's old Stanley thermos and a cute lavender thermos I got when I was a teenager. I also have a Stanley coffee cup that was a total regret buy because while I still have it somewhere the design was horrible they don't make it anymore and the cup made me feel stupid.
I have multiple water bottles, but they all have their own places - one stays at work, one in my bag, and two at home. What's funny is that I only paid a total of £8 for the cups and they've lasted me years while holding hundreds of servings of water.
I've dealt with pallets of these stupid cups this year. I didn't know they were $40 to 50 until a bit later when I commented how dumb they are. Then I learned that they were popular, I just didn't know that they were this popular 😂 People are dumb.
I kinda did know, but only through actual funny comedy skits for a 30 second video. But I still didn't get it. If I'm out of the loop for normie stuff like trendy name brands and cups. Then it must be a good thing.
Very dumb, blind and want to fit in so bad! i pay attention to things and seen changes in style and the tracking devices (our smart phones) to Apple has a hold on way too many while being anti consumer charging abused prices for less and sued third parties doing what they say "couldn't" do. Then pairing basically each part to the motherboard and serialized each part so a simple break is a hassle so you "have to" buy a new one. a battery swap or just swapping the back glass iOS gives those "unknown part" messages so you'll only go to them for fixes! it's evil.
This is so insane!!! From the point of the house organizer, I can tell you where all of those bottles, thermos, coffee mugs end up. The drawers and cabinets are filled with all sorts of cups and containers, chewed straws, already messy and no lids and most of it no one is using. But after New Years, they added Stanley tumblers where there's no room for more tumblers already 👀 It's like hoarding lol
A cup? An ugly cup?… Well, it’s been real y’all. The end of days has arrived as everyone has clearly gone mad. So long and thanks for all the fisshhhhh! 🐬🐬🐬 Also, love the content. The Adam section was hilarious. 🤘🏼
I’ve been waitin’, towel in hand. But seriously… Why…how are people so easily misled? It’s diabolical how easily we can be swayed into buying things we don’t need just bc someone else says it’s cool. I will stick with my $6 Dollar General cup, thank you very much!!!
Someone I know recently has become obsessed with “drinking enough water” and suddenly won’t shut up about it… had no idea about this Stanley cup phenomenon OR “water tok”… Same person used to be disgusted by water and never drink it, nor could you ever convince them to. Of course they’d never admit to the former, now that they’ve changed tune to the latter. SMH. Noticed the similar behavioural change in someone else outwardly hating Taylor Swift and the cult of Swifties… and is now essentially a Swifty herself, cries over missing overpriced concert tickets and suddenly cares about who’s the bigger fan. I have no issues with Taylor as an artist, but this is all just insane and ridiculous. Social media is an f’d up place - I’m so glad I’ve opted out of most of it. 🤡🐑🐑🐑
I was shocked to see how much her tickets cost. I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift but I had to look it up because I saw someone on RUclips that went to her concert TWICE🙄
If they drink that much water they need to include electrolytes including sodium. It's bad when they put soda, or juice in it since the 40 oz size gets them a serious sugar spike and crash.
Your "friends" are idiot sheeple. They have no will nor mind of their own. They are easily led and cannot think critically for themselves. Ever. I am so sorry. Just don't be like them and you should be ok. :P
Taylor is doing straight-up rituals on stage. Why do parents let their kids go partake in witchcraft? Watching someone do a ritual is still giving passive consent to it.
I never got into the trends , I rather spend my money on travel,books plants my kid. Not paying for these stupid trends. These idiotic followers . If I want water I go to the tap
Wow so crazy over a cup! I remember the first craze seemed to be the cabbage patch dolls back in the 80's .People were lining IP outside the toy stores hoping to get one ,and that was way before social media influences .I think people forgot how to appreciate the smaller non material things in life that will bring much more happiness than a cup will.
I actually watched a documentary on here about that the other day as it was just before my time. But add pet rocks and all the consumer fads after an its really no surprise to see the behavior continued. The part that actually shocks me is how aggressive people get over these things. I always remember that LegiQn quote "Oh ya call it black friday well we call it red Tursday go in for a toaster come out inna casket"
I was going to mention beany babies and furbies too, but these days, it seems more shallow than ever. People wanting something for themselves is kinda understandable, but wanting something just to show off that you have it, especially now to online strangers... i cannot sympathize anyone not getting it. I've come to dislike so much about the internet, for all the ways it's changed people for the worst. It used to be referred to as "the information superhighway". Now i think we'd be better off without it, even if we went just a year or so, imagine the difference that would make.
Pretty much, all want to fit in so bad they forget and get blinded by the rush and fomo of not having the current it thing! it's sad. and *NO DOUBT ALL WALKED PAST THESE VERY CUPS PROB LAST MONTH* lmao
Things are just getting crazy between this and the overpriced skin care. The amount of kids looking for drunk elephant skincare is crazy when they haven’t even have enough hormones in their bodies to give them acne are buying skincare for problems they don’t have. The whole influencer thing is ridiculous and I don’t get it at all.
That’s an easy explanation. It’s because you actually have common sense. And you hit the nail right on the head with your statement of influencers. Need to get rid of all social media, cell phones and tablets that these influencers use to brainwash these challenges generations. What happened to talking to people face to face. Society is so disconnected today it’s ridiculous. Oh well. I could go on and on. Flood gates open. Waiting for the surge.
When I was 12 (in 94) I went through this phase where I was obsessed with skincare and buying matte powders and foundations to try and hide the fact that I had oily skin and my nose was always shiny/oily. I had soaps, lotions, oxy cleanse pads and probably more foundation and powders then my mom. She even bought me some expensive facial cleaners and clay masks from Origins for Christmas back then. I begged her for a $70 matte powder that was only sold at Bloomingdale's but it was never in stock. I had never had a zit in my life but using all those different products on my face actually aggravated my skin and I started getting pimples, lol. I moved on from being obsessed with my skin to being obsessed with my hair then my weight. There was nothing wrong with my skin, hair or weight, but I wanted to be "perfect "All this before I was 13. My friends were like this as well, and adults would blame this and other trends on MTV, supermodels and pop culture in general. There's always going to be something or someone that kids look up to and follow. There are dangerous tiktok challenges that kids are doing and getting injured or even killed doing, but I remember parents blaming wrestling and Beavis and butthead for that stuff in the 90's. Only solution is to monitor what kids watch, and how much they watch. My son gets an hour on RUclips, no tiktok and he has no interest thankfully in any of the other social media apps. However he's still little, I know as he gets into his teens he will be exposed to some of the crap. It's normal to go through trends/phases as kids, but I'll never understand this obsession over a cup,lol. Ultimately I guess it's harmless, I'm sure most of us, at some point drove our parents nuts for something that seemed like a ridiculous waste of money 😂
I retired my Stanley and went back to Hydro Flask. I was so embarrassed by people's behaviors that I cannot be caught dead with one. I only have one and I bought it over a year ago...I wasn't even influenced to do it either. it is so scary how people MUST follow a trend and jump on the bandwagon.
You have a Stanley and a Hydroflask but do not consider yourself on the bandwagon? What's the difference in you and the other people who buy the trendy water bottles?
@@ChristinaFromRUclips I've had a hydro flask for years...cuz I saw it and wanted it for my ice water. not sure if that has anything to do with a bandwagon. just normal shopping habits and I knew it was a good brand. same with Stanley...I wasn't following a trend or anything. I didn't see influencers talking about them. to be on the bandwagon is following what others are doing. to follow the crowd because of what's popular. just cuz you own a product that went wildly popular doesn't make you part of the chaos lol. that's why I put it away. I don't want to be attached to the ridiculousness. people are easily influenced.
I got one from ice shaker through a brand whom sponsors streamers i watch that influence us to drink powders of energy, hydration and or sleep aids (Similar to gfuel & ghost energy) one is advanced but add the power into water shake it boom marketed heavy to gamers but liquid IV does the same too. And seriously sure we all walked pasted this very cups a month ago and ain't bat an eye god social media brings out the worst in people and fomo hits some waaaaaaaaay too hard! blind consumerism is wild and the fact cops were need to i remember black friday when someone died over a PS3 to fights over TV's.....
It comes across like "well yeah I just so happen to have every product that influencers peddle but its different with me. Im naturally cool and when other people started liking the products I don't like them now." It feels like a desperate explanation for why you possess all of these products.
I'm talking about one product lol. I don't own anything else that's been influenced (that I'm aware of), I just don't pay attention. I was using my Stanley proudly even when I found out it was a popular influenced item, I didn't care, I liked it and still used it.. It wasn't until the Starbucks/Target collab. I do find myself better than the people who behaved the way they did for a cup...as an adult, it was appalling to see other adults behave that way. that's why I said I was secondhand embarrassed. maybe there's an age difference between me and you. I don't think about being "cooler" than others. it's really not that deep, promise.@@ChristinaFromRUclips
Omg the Stanley Steamer commercial at 13:04 and that whole bit had me rolling 🤣 I have 3 teenage sons and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this trend but I’m so thankful because the world is going absolutely crazy. I’ve worked in advertising and communications and what we know (meaning what research has shown) about how to manipulate the human mind is honestly terrifying. Guard your minds, y’all! And unplug them kids from the iPads before they are no longer sentient! 😅😳💀 Great video! New sub. 🙌
I truly blame this on parasocial relationships & to some extent - viral marketing. I’ve been off social media for nearly 8 years & remember when Yeti Brand was HUGE online, with resellers getting 50-75 for the standard ones, ones customized with those tacky “Live Laugh Love-like” platitudes/names with indistinguishable fonts. I still have a Yeti someone gave me for Christmas back then and…it’s just a cup at the end of the day. I drink nothing but water so as long as it’s colder than 60 degrees, I’m content. Just turned 32 & the other women my age are spending more on multiple mugs a month than I spend on my mortgage 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Has it been 8 years since Yeti exploded? That was my first thought, "Don't all these people still have their Yeti tumblers!?" That was the whole thing, they were supposed to last a lifetime.
@@SalisburySnake It started going “viral” around that time, if not a little before, iirc. Mine has “Merry Christmas 2015 From ____” on it (name left blank as a joke since they had one made for everyone & just Sharpied a name on each).
I love the parody videos with the girl coming to the kitchen island and then the guy with the trash can/recycle bin trying to bring it in his car 🤣🤣🤣🤣 People are truly rediculous.
I own a Stanley, I really like it. I was looking for a new tumbler after my old one broke. The thing is, I only have one. It’s wild to me that people will collect these cups when the point of a reusable tumbler is to reduce waste.
I have one 30oz, I was looking for a new water bottle, and it checked all the boxes. I like it and have used it every day for the last 6-8 months but I don't need another one. I did buy one for my 17 year old dancer who uses a huge water bottle, when her old one cracked and broke.
I would love to know how many times you lost it with laughter during the editing stage, this is absolutely ridiculous and I love it 😂 you somehow managed to be better at researching than most major news outlets and I salute you for that, always love your content Kevin, you never cease to amaze and make my day!
I've been carrying around similar cups for years and years now. I go nowhere without my cup. I go to work with it and I have a bigger bottle in my locker to refill throughout the day. Suddenly, the people I work with notice I have a cup and I constantly get people asking about my Stanley. I'm like "hell no, I don't have a Stanley. I'm not crazy enough to pay $45 for a freaking cup." The $15 cup I have doesn't leak, keeps my ice from melting and fits in my cup holder. I do have one of the huge old Stanley containers and I love it, but I tend to use it for long road trips when I need extra coffee.
I had purchased some of those for Christmas gifts that were going to be gifted later tin January because my friends were out of town and some for myself. As soon as this craziness started I returned it all! I refused to be associated with such behavior!!! It's insane! Pregnant woman fighting over a cup at target, and adults making children cry because they stole their cup 🙄 you will not see me with one of those cups
When people lose their common sense to even resort to going feral over a common cup they no doubt walked pasted a month go but suddenly "want it" ugh fuck social media dude it only dooms and makes these worse!
@@M4TTYNthis is not a new social media phenomenon. Ever heard of Cabbage Patch Kids? Look up some old news footage of people fighting over them in stores and stealing them away from kids. This was in 1983, no Internet around.
I don’t give in these ridiculous fads. When the Yeti was a huge thing, didn’t buy one and this Stanley cup I’ve been seeing everywhere. However I did buy a purple generic water bottle about 40 ounces at TJMAXX for $10. It’s going to be my second year using it. ☺️
Please do more of these videos. You have a knack for 'journalism' videos. I know it's more or less a joke, but I appreciate your humor and the way you presented it to us. Brilliant work, Kevin. That being said, I bought a Stanley last year because I wanted something to keep my water cold and a straw that wouldn't break (I was using a normal tumbler from Target but broke the straw). I legit had no idea how crazy it's gotten. My Stanley is covered in stickers. WHOOPS. 😂
I only camped out for something once in my life, and it was for the original Xbox. I thought with online shopping etc. this would be a thing of the past and my kids would never believe that people used to camp outside of a store to buy something... I WAS WRONG! People are doing it for a damn cup!
I got a Hydro Flask in this same style of cup. On sale for $30 and it's better than the Stanley cups some of my friends have. This Stanley madness is, well, madness.
I found a brand new hydroflask at the park once a few years ago when it trendy. I remember being in shock because it looked like it was never even used and still had a tag on it. I still have it and it really all you need, it doesn’t leak either
I have a vintage Stanley (similar to that jumbo green that guy showed) that's glass lined and has to be prewarmed or pre cooled to prevent shock to the glass lining. It's a great cup, I bought it many years ago and used it for hot coffee or cold tea. It was great because despite the 98F heat outside I still had ice cold tea I brewed that morning. However I remember the funny looks and scoffs I would get when I brought it out. Now it's suddenly a fad right? Something cool? When just a few years ago someone would make a joke about me carrying it around. I bought it at a thrift store for like $3.
Unbelievable and ridiculous. I cannot for the life of me fathom how people react like this for something so unimportant. People are so easily manipulated into focusing on the things that don’t matter. With everything this country has going on, this is just stupidity at its finest.
I am a 33 year old who swore off social media a few years ago and my wife literally JUST told me about this Stanley trend... I had to watch this video to understand. Why are we so dumb? Seriously, how has our human race existed this long? If you need me, I'll be off going off grid now. 😂
Tbh I’m surprised these got so popular with women b/c when everyone wanted to ban straws one of the main argument I remember was the wrinkles you get from straws. I did get a laugh from the girls TikTok on how to avoid them 😂 I stay away from straw tumblers cause they get so dirty
Buy a straw cleaner. I have extra straws to put in my water bottle and a straw cleaner. I have a cheap insulated water bottle from target though. It's great I can have ice for days in that thing. I got it on sale for $14
This is why I can’t take the tiktok girlies seriously when they want to talk about massive consumerism and attack others who buy anything not from a thrift store. The platform they love FUELS this shit
They’re only dirty because many of the girls didn’t realize that even with water cups should be cleaned every use. Most were just flat out not cleaning them UNTIL they saw mold signs
Reminds me of the brand Champion. When I was a kid, it was sold at k-mart as cheap clothing. Suddenly, its the expensive, high-end, must have brand. Society is weird.
I do drink more than 40oz of water a day, on average I drink 90-130 oz per day. However, I do not need a $45 cup to do this. I have a 25oz bottle with a straw that flips up with the click of a button that I paid about $12 for. This bottle will keep my water cold for several hours and is refillable (so I do not need a huge bulky size) I do not know if it will keep my water cold for 2 days, I do not drink water that has been sitting in a container for 2 days.
What a lovely video. I laughed, rolled my eyes and had my mouth hit the floor. 😂The cult of Stanley is CRAZY. In fact, the power and influence of social media is scary
To the sudden shifts of "oh this isn't cool" then "oh this is cool now" making me remember when the wii was a hot item in 2006 to even tomogachi's and toys in general kids wants a dang CUP making me feel old and very confused!
I have an old Stanley vacuum flask that I am using to store hot tea for my next snow shift. It cost me $5 at a thrift store. I don't use tumblers because the leaking is an issue.
Dude, thank you for making this video! I am very intrigued with that CEO guy now. I will research his marketing strategy because he is 100% on to it. He can turn any pile of poop into pure gold from the sound of it. A genius with a Midas touch. That’s exactly the type of smarts a small business owner needs to move product.
Stanley was never a pile of poop, I’ve got a thermos that was made in the 40’s or 50’s that has been on the job now for 3 generations. Stanley was always popular on job sites and for truckers, in fact about the only place you could guarantee to find some Stanley products was the truck stops.
My teenager looked at me nuts when I said elementary school kids wanted these cups. It isn't a popular thing at her high school school here in California. They would rather have nice shoes and clothes.This same thing happened with the Yeti craze and then the Hydro Flask and will be replaced by something else I am sure.
It's funny how times have changed. When I was in school you were not allowed to have any type of drink except at lunch and would get fussed at for asking to go to the water fountain during class and told you should have gone between classes somehow. Now my kids have to have their water bottle every day. It is a good change, my default state is slight dehydration because of those years of training it to be, haha, so they will fare better in life. But I make sure that their water bottles 1) do not leak/spill, 2) can fit in that side pocket of their backpacks, and 3) are dishwasher safe short of a few thermos style ones.
Oh yeah.. the hydro flask. Is that even still a thing?? I wonder if it will just become like trends on loop.. ?? They can just cycle through Yeti to Hydro flask to Stanley, maybe Thermos will be up next? Man, who'd have ever thought, reusable cups would be a thing?
@@FireMrshlBill You weren't allowed to keep a drink with you in school? I was in school in the 80's and 90's and in elementary school I don't recall if we were allowed or not (my kids are now in elementary and they can't carry drinks neither) But by the time I was started middle school we were allowed to carry a water,snapple or even a can of soda. High school we could have coffee or redbull too. That actually sounds cruel that they wouldn't let you bring drinks, lol. I would have been suffering, I was ALWAYS thirsty as a kid and was always carrying around beverages in school.
@@winterlynn9012 nope, insane as it sounds these days. Was a 90’s-00’s kid (graduated in ‘03) and if you had a drink open in class you were getting yelled at, told to put it under your seat if lucky or tossed. And especially after columbine, there were a number of years you couldn’t carry a backpack or coat around, would have to keep them in a locker and carry 1-2 periods worth of books in your arms. So couldn’t even stow a drink in a backpack to drink between classes. I think later in high school they may have lifted the backpack rule, but can’t say for sure. But ya, I could go the whole day with just the one drink at lunch and maybe a few sips from a water fountain here and there. They usually did water breaks in PE. They definitely trained us to be good little worker bees. Trying to fit in a water and bathroom break between classes when you have barely 5 min to do that, hit up your locker and get to your class on the other side of the school.
What society has turned into, recording everything, screaming “stop him! …I didn’t touch him….stop him!” Egging on the situation but not taking any action to help, what have we become
i have a 15 dollar generic white insulated bottle from walmart and i’ve used it since freshman year, i’m about to graduate highschool soon and i still bring it everyday. it keeps my drinks warm/cold and it is 100% better than a stanly cup.
I was convinced I will never buy a Stanley until the end when you put the container of ice cream in it. That seems like the most reasonable thing to do with one.
Yeah, it is a good idea. There are other brands that work exactly the same way, that aren't overpriced. You can even get insulated containers designed for foods instead of drinks. Even if you don't find one that fits a pint carton, you could just scoop the ice cream into an insulated container. Then you could get any brand of ice cream, not just the little cartons.
It's definitely great marketing. But it's insane to see. The craze about the pink and red ones reminded me of the tickle me Elmo fights and stuff at Christmas time in the 90's. The thing is, most of the knockoffs or dupes are just as good. When yetis were big, I bought an Ozark trail (Walmart) dupe bc there was no way I'd spend $50 (still no way) for a cup and it worked just as well.
My sister got me one during summer of 2023 and i only really use it at home, if at all. Too big to be used outside practically and too clunky to be at home when i could just use a cup. Makes me wonder how long this trend is actually gonna last.
I don't have a Stanley because it's like a dollar an once. But I do have a 40oz Hydraflow. It's great because I live in Texas and it keeps things hot or cold. And my local you have to bring your own cup for drinks. So I have it for ice tea or a fountain soda. I have a smaller insulated cup for coffee because I still don't get having more then 16oz of coffee at a time.
The lady with the wall of Stanleys reminds me of my ex-mom in law and her short lived obsession with beanie babies. She had entire Tupperware storage bins full of them, & would search for certain "rare" ones...oh I wonder what happened to all those beanie babies...
This reminds me of Christmas shopping with my mom during the Furby craze when we witnessed four adult women in a physical fight screeching and attacking one another in the toy department as employees tried to separate them.
Yeah, but it would be really difficult to make sure your production is ready & often the fad dies as quickly as it started, so then you're stuck with a bunch of product that is old news. It can be great for a company if they know how to prepare for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could bankrupt a company that doesn't know how to plan for it. Also, it would be great to make a lot of money, but honestly, I'd be embarrassed to be part of this kind of insanity.
@@miriamrobarts yeah, I don’t want to use his business smarts to peddle crap, but the stuff I believe in instead. There’s far too many good products out there that aren’t known because of poor marketing, and lots of terrible things that are selling well because of great marketing. Imagine what would happen for the stuff that actually benefits people and the planet with his marketing skills
It’s actually deeply disturbing how easy it is to influence people.

It's so surreal seeing people go nuts for these and talking about Stanley like a designer brand. It'd be like if Black & Decker drills suddenly became chic.
Gimmie the B&D over the cup/ flask
Shush, you might just start a new TikTok trend amongst these brain dead zombies
I don’t see anyone acting like this in designer brand stores 😂
Dont give them ideas bro 😂😂😂😂
every business is about to do something like this. when something proves extremely lucrative in eurocentric culture, all the parasites start their exploitation parade.
I would have lost ALL of my Christmas presents if I acted like that little girl when I was growing up. Seriously, there are some real spoiled brats out there.
Seriously, the look on her face before even opening the Yeti.. as she's surrounded by gifts.. utterly disheartening !! Total brat. Should have not bought her it at all as a lesson 😂
yeah that video was sickening. She doesn't deserve anything.
So true! Anytime I acted like a little girl my mom sent me to my room to, "Think about why I'm acting this way."
Fortunately it didn't take many thinking sessions.
That isnt about "acting like a little girl" it is about the rude ungrateful , spoiled child that those parents have created and continue to encourage by buying her 2 gifts just so they can take a video to put online so they can get likes and views and validation from total strangers and total strangers can all repost it and get likes and views and validating from total strangers for posting about it .

It's the parents and kids alike behaving badly. It's so insane! It's a CUP....
That child who dismissed her Yeti would have had NO TUMBLER because I would have taken the Stanley before she even opened it and returned it due to lack of manners and gratefulness.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💯
I agree 100%. This is what is wrong with kids today
Yup. She would have been taken with all her Christmas gifts to give them away at the closest woman's shelter. I would have kept clothes. Everything else..including toys in the stocking..would have gone to children in a shelter. And she would be in the car with me.
I saw a video of a grown adult woman behaving the same way when her boyfriend gifted her a yeti instead of a Stanley. Pure insanity
The problem with this is that people are just proving to retailers that they have scads of disposable income to drop on useless items. The same people complaining about high prices are the same people paying $160 for a tumbler. When they see you can afford $160 for a coffee mug, of course they will assume that you can also afford to pay for overpriced grocery products.
Exactly
More likely they have maxed out credit cards
Let’s not forget the resell
While the poor starve.
Unfortunately, prices of groceries will inflate, even without these stupid TikTok moms buying stupid tumblers
The fact that 10 year olds are excited about a container that holds water is beyond dystopian. Why is your 10 year old on social media?! My daughter is 8, she asked for toys, I'm doing a good job. 🤣
Honestly just steer her clear of tiktok for as long as you can. I have seen adults acting like literal zombies while using this app.
There needs to be an experiment to see if theyll choose the Switch or the Stanley cup.
Honestly as much as I don’t support the craziness over these cups, a 10 year old being excited about a water bottle is a lot better than the many other alternatives kids are into now days (drugs, smoking, etc).
@@jazlyn2721There will always be kids into that stuff, definitely not just a nowadays thing.I was a preteen in the early 90's and lots of kids were drinking, smoking, using drugs etc. As for the cups, I personally don't think it's bad that kids want them, its a trend and kids will always follow those just like my gen did with whatever was trendy when I was a kid,but it is a little strange. I remember screaming with happiness when I got my favorite album for Christmas when I was 9. A kid screaming over a cup just seems odd, lol Then again I see adults doing the same thing and I don't understand it,lol. Guess whatever makes people happy 🤷🏼♀️
It's not bad to want a random cup as a child. What's bad is wanting a $50 cup and having parents who don't teach you the value of things beyond silly fads. So many better things you can buy or do with that money, even for the child. However, if the child sees the parent being the same type of foolish person who buys things without thinking, then oh well...
I must be living under a rock because I had no idea this was a thing. Got a few belly laughs 🤣 so thanks!
First it was Yeti, then Hydroflask, and now it's Stanley. It's insane how so many people have turned regular items like coolers and water flasks into must have fashion accessories.
i'm surprised with the amount of trolling online that somneone hasn't decided to use peoples stupidity against them and tried to make something like trash bags trendy
It’s just the monogram, hair bow set
First it was Nalgene. Get it right. LOL
To be fair the yeti has been very useful for my trades family, but it’s not worth any of this

When my father died, his Stanley thermos with his name engraved on it, passed to one of his grandsons. He had used it for many years on construction sites and we treasured it. It was not huge and completely utilitarian. A symbol of then and now.
yeah man the thermos bottles are amazing, they hold hot coffee or tea for 24 hours or more. But these cups are crazy stupid.
@@Mr_Foekohow are the Stanley cups stupid when they do the same thing just shaped differently?
@@8luvbugbecause they are overpriced, impractical and they don't do the same thing at all I have had a stanley thermos for years and its purpose is so i can make a pot of coffee and keep it for 3 days and it doesnt spill, then i put it in my also leak proof coffee cup

I'd be so happy if I got a yeti. Those aren't cheap, and they're better looking than a Stanley imo

This is just showing exactly why we have as many problems within this country as we do now; people are focusing on absolutely ridiculous products instead of real problems.
Ikr. $45 to keep water cold
Agreed, but this isn't a new issue, but something that's been around and growing since consumerism became a thing. Remember the Pokemon craze? That was during the 90s when a horrible war was going on elsewhere. Products will always be used as a way to distract and placate the masses.

Its not even arrogant and entitled because the Yeti costs as much as the Stanley does, it's being gullible and a follower. It is one of those times where getting them nothing would be better than getting them the wrong thing, though
I think all 3 of my kids wanted the cool “it” item of their time, and yes I bought some of those things for them, because it brought them joy. The pressure to fit in is huge for kids and sadly it’s starting happening younger and younger. Seriously though if you can afford it, is it really that big a deal?

its crazy i guess im one of the few who always did my own thing and didnt care if people liked me or not i was alway the outcast kid like at lunch i was always the kid that sat by themselves i had like two friends that would sit with me but they also tried to fit in with the other kids and one of them wouldnt hang out with me at school cause they were getting made fun of but as i get older i find my faith in us as people just dwindling
I asked my 10 yo daughter if she's heard about stanleys. She said "omg it's so stupid! It's just a dumb cup!"...I was so proud.
Finally a normal 10 year old!
You're raising your daughter correctly :)
I literally bought a Stanley thermos for under $10 at a local discount store this summer. I had no idea about the company or it's history but noticed that it was made very well. I do like it very much, but this is insane. 😮
I'd kill for a 10$ Stanley! I love their thermos and they're so well built. but the hip tik-tok Sippy-cup tumbler is just ridiculous. Can't put it in your bag, or else it spills, the lids are annoying to clean and to replace. It's perfectly built for the wine moms to hide their booze in public.
@@givemeyournachos BINGO ! You just nailed it !
That's why they have become so popular, because I don't know of any women that even remotely drink enough of anything else to need that big of a tumbler !
I have that thermos for like very long time ,set on shelf now, no one using it. This people crazy .
I thought it looked well made…until I realized that this ridiculously expensive giant cup isn’t even spill-proof! lol No longer want one…🙄
I bought one for five bucks lol
i've had a stanley for years to bring filtered water from home to my workplace and was relentlessly mocked by my other female coworkers lol the funny thing is, i'm still being mocked because i have the generic green one, not the straw ones
OG
The straw ones are so unsanitary.
I have the green one too. I can’t believe that Americans are so easily influenced.
Hammer tone green goes hard.
@@sylux70ikr classic
I cant wait to see them at the thrift stores for $1 in the near future.
As a non-American, this trend is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. It's almost depressing.
Let’s be real they’ll be in land fills.
@@monicanavarro2906 I'm American & think it's disturbing and insane, too. Why can't people think for themselves instead of following trends? Or at least act like a decent person instead of fighting over an object. So sad.
@@miriamrobarts True, the hostility and rudeness is worse than the obsession... and all for what? For an object that just last year they'd consider as stylish as a Gatorade bottle. 🤦♀️
When people ask me why I think society is failing, this whole thing is a prime example
Facts!! 👍👍
Trends are hilarious. My own 12 yr old daughter has one and told me that they're popular. She wasnt feeling it when I told her I have one for work and so do a lot of my male blue collar coworkers 😂 It's a thermos ladies lol!
As an aging steel worker still using the same green Stanley thermos and lunch box set I got for Father’s Day a lifetime ago, this boggles my freaking mind🤦♂️😂🤣😂🤣
Same I've been using my Yeti Jugg and Coffee Yeti cup for 2 years now
To these people in the video yeti is too 2023
To these people in the video yeti is too 2023
I purchased one as a young railroad worker about a decade ago ..if you told me that short time ago my thermos i carried to work on a daily basis would be a trendy thing for 13 year old girls 10 years later i'd say BS 😂 Oh well, i give it a month to become old news and irrelevant.
Better keep an eye on it before someone grabs it n sells it on eBay 😂
I imagine a little boy a few years from now saying "Hey mom, why did you name me Stanley?". She smiles and answers "Well son, there were these tumblers..."😆
This is why not a single woman can be a great comedian...
😂😂
Yah a lot of Stanleys popping out in hospitals as we speak.
My son used to work at McDonald’s back in the day when they gave away McD Beanie Baby’s in the Happy Meals. They had people who ordered multiple meals and then just threw away the food. They also had many crazed parents pitching fits if they ran out or they didn’t have a particular one that they wanted! There will always be something!
😂😂😂
Yep
They had to lock'em in the freezer 😂
My granny managed to get the whole set.
Yeah proving its not worth the hype
these were mainly people at I think, hoping to resell the so called limited items.
@Miss_Florida_Winnerlady what are you talking about their are beanie babies that sell for thousands on the collectors market! I would say your grandmother is a pure genius.
There is a story about the warranty on one quart Stanley coffee "mugs". A bulldozer operator was working along on a rock/dirt/more rock and some small smattering of almost dry clay mud road. His "Stanley" fell onto the tracks, stayed on until the tracks ended, and the Stanley fell out in front of it. He slipped the Stanley into a large envelope and sent it to the company, explaining that the Stanley had been damaged, and explaining how. He wanted a replacement unit. A week later, h got the envelope back, with a note taped to it it said "Unbreakable. not indestructible, go buy a new thermos". they included a 5.00 off coupon.
That is bullshit.
I remember this type of madness in the 1980's when Cabbage Patch Dolls came out! I have a feeling that a year from now, we will be seeing these at yard sales 😂.
exactly
People got trampled over for those ugly dolls.
Yep. And the Tickle Me Elmo in the 90’s. People literally fighting over them in stores.
I work at a thrift store, and we have been selling the original Stanley thermos cups all the time. Next year, we will probably sell way more of the tumblers because they aren't as practical as the original.
I think I can already see these cups at random thrift stores lol
When I was a young, kids tried to one up each other with clothes and Nikes. When kids started getting killed for their shoes and they realized fashion was causing kids to get bullied or marginalized, they made public school students wear uniforms. Every few years to dress some product that shows you won. Today it’s a Stanley, tomorrow it’ll be something else.
killed?!
I went to Catholic school and had to wear a uniform. So kids just used purses and shoes as status symbols instead of clothes. It’s always something.
uniforms never banned the same shoes kids got killed over
Yea why i don't even try, i was there for all the fads i don't care jordans are gross and now mostly worn by those who'll steal a soda or something else and still say "i get money" funny enough i stop people who have jobs to homeless that try it worse get way too much verbal disrespect for being alert.
I seen the tides change and all bought into iPhones (given how anti consumer apple is) all so scared to pony up when their back glass breaks to oddly don't go to third party repair shops that beat apple and what they say is "unfixable" and still loads line up for the "new" one with less features then Android less customization and so on.
That’s how it was when I was growing up too ( in my neighborhoods anyway ). People got robbed or jumped for a pair of Jordan’s everyday. This was before the dumbed down cell phone era. 80s/90s.
The kid wanting all the celebrities in their basement got me 💀
frrrrrrr
Future cereal killer 😂
Lil man was hilarious 😂
"I want this lady in my basement."
I started to die at that part
I’m still trying to figure out why people are going crazy for a cup. Maybe one day, the same thing will happen with tooth brushes, or spoons, or book ends!
Supreme showed that people will buy anything with a simple logo on it so...... (they sold a brick with Supreme on it for $150+ or something) never was a hype beast but yea.
Kinda hoping for the book ends.. because that would at least mean that people are actually READING again!!! Lol
How old are you? This has happened many times before in the past over various items. This isn’t new.
@@ALT-vz3jn yea, fads that kids go crazy over has always been a thing.. typically with things like toys, clothes, games and things that made sense for kids to be interested in but over something as mundane as a cup??🤨🤨 I'm 36 and that's new to me...🤷🤷
@@enigmaticallis3110 And it's ridiculous enough when it's something like a toy. People should use their brains instead of following trends.
My mother in law randomly gave me one the other day and I'm almost scared to take it outside 😂 it definitely keeps the drink cold and the handle is nice but I'd never pay $45 for one and I'd never fight and trample people for one. People are crazyyy
My cup 10 years ago kept my ice cold for 24 hours.
Sell it online for $1,000 and split it with MIL. 😂
I got a no name metal water bottle from Target on clearance for $3.99. I can put ice in it at night and it'll still be there the next day. I'm waiting for them to on clearance again so I can get one or two more to stock up.
@@Corpst right? It's not a new concept. My Costco Thermoflask keeps it just as cold and it doesn't leak like the Stanley 😂
@@carolwilliams8840 that's the thing, the Stanley isn't revolutionary and it should be for $45! I prefer my Thermoflask because it keeps it cold and it doesn't leak 😂 I need to check out the target clearance section next time I go!!
I was so confused when this first became a thing. I grew up on AF bases and the green Stanley thermos is military issue- we always had at least 4 in different sizes. My sister in law I told me she got one and how much they are and how it's a tiktok phenomenon and I was like, babe I could have just given you one
Hi, fellow military brat! Though I never asked, I always wondered if my Dad’s green Stanley had some sort of military connection (he’s retired Air Force). I think his Stanley is great; it’s really cool-looking, it’s sturdy, doesn’t leak, and does its job to perfection.
Your sister in law is dumb.
That’s not the same model that all the kids want.
Crazy!! I got the Walmart Ozark cups when Yeti was a thing for $10 lol. They still work great. I only wanted them because Florida Summers get hot and they keep the drinks ice coold sitting in the hot car all day
It’s wild to me because in childhood, my father carried around his blue and red Stanley cup. He still has it and used to carry it to family functions, bbq cookouts and my mom would be embarrassed like “babe don’t bring that cup” 😂 and he has the green heavy duty one shown in the beginning of the video. He was the first person I knew of carrying a favorite cup around as an adult 😂
It's pretty wild how perceptions change. I remember too when carrying a stanely would be seen as embarrassing outside of most scenarios.
He was an OG. He did it before it was cool.
I think when something gets hyped up so much everybody wants it just to follow the crowd, and this is a perfect example
Agree, Tervis has had these for years.
It's pathetic really.
It's the fad of the moment. Something else will come along soon.
@@kdbee6086 always! It's human nature
Something dark behind it. It's like when Wilkenson almost went bankrupt and made people who came out of the chill 80s, believe in the 90s, that it was a crime for women to have any sorts of body hair, just to sell more razors and knew females were easier to manipulate, when it comes to shopping. Everytime when something becomes so popular, even though it has been there for decades, i feel like there is a powrrful subliminal underneath it.
You forgot to mention the Utah Mom vloggers who begged Stanley to make these cups in cute colors like 3 years ago. The new CEO told the company they needed to listen to the moms.
"Utah moms" is something that really confuses me about social media.
Who is making Mormons "influencers" and why?
@@ChristinaFromRUclips When I think of Utah moms, I think of MLMers. (Multi-Level Marketing moms)
@@jpt610 yeah but those MLMers are Mormons too. Its really fascinating to me.
Its a really small segment of America's population but they dominate social media marketing and direct marketing.
@Christina-fw9dz it fascinates the hell out of me too. I've noticed the Utah Moms tend to fall under the MLM umbrella too, but also a growing trend is the Trad Wife culture, thats big in the Mormon regions. Which if you take it a step further, absolutely has political roots. It's crazy how they're all tied together!
This whole thing has been so interesting to watch 😂
@@MelissaMayhem99 it all feels like one big Church of Latter Day Saints marketing effort. Like "see how aesthetic and wholesome we are?"
Its a really bizarre aspect of the internet to me because influencers are always selling something and in this case I truly think church membership is the long-con.
There is something so odd about their online presence that I can't place my finger on exactly. It feels like they artificially saturate apps like Tiktok like are the masses really clamoring to see old-timey housewives or is The Machine shoving this content down our throats?
The Stanley steamer commercial on the TV was amazing!!! 👏🏻
Damn. I got my lavender Stanley in November and I’m all good. People are so conditioned to overconsumption. The whole point of a reusable bottle is to have ONE, maybe two.
exactly. IT's supposed to practical...not something to show off or collect. SO weird.
I have my dad's old Stanley thermos and a cute lavender thermos I got when I was a teenager. I also have a Stanley coffee cup that was a total regret buy because while I still have it somewhere the design was horrible they don't make it anymore and the cup made me feel stupid.
I have multiple water bottles, but they all have their own places - one stays at work, one in my bag, and two at home.
What's funny is that I only paid a total of £8 for the cups and they've lasted me years while holding hundreds of servings of water.
I've dealt with pallets of these stupid cups this year. I didn't know they were $40 to 50 until a bit later when I commented how dumb they are. Then I learned that they were popular, I just didn't know that they were this popular 😂
People are dumb.
I kinda did know, but only through actual funny comedy skits for a 30 second video. But I still didn't get it. If I'm out of the loop for normie stuff like trendy name brands and cups. Then it must be a good thing.
Very dumb, blind and want to fit in so bad! i pay attention to things and seen changes in style and the tracking devices (our smart phones) to Apple has a hold on way too many while being anti consumer charging abused prices for less and sued third parties doing what they say "couldn't" do.
Then pairing basically each part to the motherboard and serialized each part so a simple break is a hassle so you "have to" buy a new one. a battery swap or just swapping the back glass iOS gives those "unknown part" messages so you'll only go to them for fixes! it's evil.
It's 99% loser women.
Don't be a hater.
Well, they are keeping you employed, so keep em coming.
This is so insane!!! From the point of the house organizer, I can tell you where all of those bottles, thermos, coffee mugs end up. The drawers and cabinets are filled with all sorts of cups and containers, chewed straws, already messy and no lids and most of it no one is using. But after New Years, they added Stanley tumblers where there's no room for more tumblers already 👀 It's like hoarding lol
That one lady's reaction was so great. ☺"It's like a huge cup that's way too big." I'm glad some still see this stuff as nonsense.
A cup? An ugly cup?…
Well, it’s been real y’all. The end of days has arrived as everyone has clearly gone mad.

@@bloodysweetzombiegirl much agreed! Truly mind boggling and sad.
People used to think that digital watches were a pretty neat idea. I think we'll get through this.
Someone I know recently has become obsessed with “drinking enough water” and suddenly won’t shut up about it… had no idea about this Stanley cup phenomenon OR “water tok”… Same person used to be disgusted by water and never drink it, nor could you ever convince them to. Of course they’d never admit to the former, now that they’ve changed tune to the latter. SMH.
Noticed the similar behavioural change in someone else outwardly hating Taylor Swift and the cult of Swifties… and is now essentially a Swifty herself, cries over missing overpriced concert tickets and suddenly cares about who’s the bigger fan. I have no issues with Taylor as an artist, but this is all just insane and ridiculous.
Social media is an f’d up place - I’m so glad I’ve opted out of most of it. 🤡🐑🐑🐑
I was shocked to see how much her tickets cost. I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift but I had to look it up because I saw someone on RUclips that went to her concert TWICE🙄
If they drink that much water they need to include electrolytes including sodium. It's bad when they put soda, or juice in it since the 40 oz size gets them a serious sugar spike and crash.
Your "friends" are idiot sheeple.
They have no will nor mind of their own.
They are easily led and cannot think critically for themselves.
Ever.
I am so sorry.
Just don't be like them and you should be ok. :P
Taylor is doing straight-up rituals on stage. Why do parents let their kids go partake in witchcraft? Watching someone do a ritual is still giving passive consent to it.
I never got into the trends , I rather spend my money on travel,books plants my kid. Not paying for these stupid trends. These idiotic followers . If I want water I go to the tap
"And I want this lady in my basement." 😂😂 Yep, there is a spark of an awakening going on here.
The dude in the blonde wig shoving the trashcan in the car with a straw 🥤 in it had me rollin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow so crazy over a cup! I remember the first craze seemed to be the cabbage patch dolls back in the 80's .People were lining IP outside the toy stores hoping to get one ,and that was way before social media influences .I think people forgot how to appreciate the smaller non material things in life that will bring much more happiness than a cup will.
I actually watched a documentary on here about that the other day as it was just before my time. But add pet rocks and all the consumer fads after an its really no surprise to see the behavior continued. The part that actually shocks me is how aggressive people get over these things. I always remember that LegiQn quote "Oh ya call it black friday well we call it red Tursday go in for a toaster come out inna casket"
I was going to mention beany babies and furbies too, but these days, it seems more shallow than ever. People wanting something for themselves is kinda understandable, but wanting something just to show off that you have it, especially now to online strangers... i cannot sympathize anyone not getting it. I've come to dislike so much about the internet, for all the ways it's changed people for the worst. It used to be referred to as "the information superhighway". Now i think we'd be better off without it, even if we went just a year or so, imagine the difference that would make.
@@derealized797 don't forget tickle me elmo 😂

Things are just getting crazy between this and the overpriced skin care. The amount of kids looking for drunk elephant skincare is crazy when they haven’t even have enough hormones in their bodies to give them acne are buying skincare for problems they don’t have. The whole influencer thing is ridiculous and I don’t get it at all.
That’s an easy explanation. It’s because you actually have common sense. And you hit the nail right on the head with your statement of influencers.
Need to get rid of all social media, cell phones and tablets that these influencers use to brainwash these challenges generations.
What happened to talking to people face to face. Society is so disconnected today it’s ridiculous.
Oh well. I could go on and on.
Flood gates open. Waiting for the surge.
@@bobcumbers3624Nah, good skincare is a good habit to build.
My child will not have a phone or iPad and will be homeschooled. I am so serious.
When I was 12 (in 94) I went through this phase where I was obsessed with skincare and buying matte powders and foundations to try and hide the fact that I had oily skin and my nose was always shiny/oily. I had soaps, lotions, oxy cleanse pads and probably more foundation and powders then my mom. She even bought me some expensive facial cleaners and clay masks from Origins for Christmas back then. I begged her for a $70 matte powder that was only sold at Bloomingdale's but it was never in stock. I had never had a zit in my life but using all those different products on my face actually aggravated my skin and I started getting pimples, lol. I moved on from being obsessed with my skin to being obsessed with my hair then my weight. There was nothing wrong with my skin, hair or weight, but I wanted to be "perfect "All this before I was 13. My friends were like this as well, and adults would blame this and other trends on MTV, supermodels and pop culture in general. There's always going to be something or someone that kids look up to and follow. There are dangerous tiktok challenges that kids are doing and getting injured or even killed doing, but I remember parents blaming wrestling and Beavis and butthead for that stuff in the 90's. Only solution is to monitor what kids watch, and how much they watch. My son gets an hour on RUclips, no tiktok and he has no interest thankfully in any of the other social media apps. However he's still little, I know as he gets into his teens he will be exposed to some of the crap. It's normal to go through trends/phases as kids, but I'll never understand this obsession over a cup,lol. Ultimately I guess it's harmless, I'm sure most of us, at some point drove our parents nuts for something that seemed like a ridiculous waste of money 😂
It’s crazy, especially these young girls they can’t even read or write but they can do a full face of makeup and tic tock videos.
I retired my Stanley and went back to Hydro Flask. I was so embarrassed by people's behaviors that I cannot be caught dead with one. I only have one and I bought it over a year ago...I wasn't even influenced to do it either. it is so scary how people MUST follow a trend and jump on the bandwagon.
You have a Stanley and a Hydroflask but do not consider yourself on the bandwagon?
What's the difference in you and the other people who buy the trendy water bottles?
@@ChristinaFromRUclips I've had a hydro flask for years...cuz I saw it and wanted it for my ice water. not sure if that has anything to do with a bandwagon. just normal shopping habits and I knew it was a good brand. same with Stanley...I wasn't following a trend or anything. I didn't see influencers talking about them. to be on the bandwagon is following what others are doing. to follow the crowd because of what's popular. just cuz you own a product that went wildly popular doesn't make you part of the chaos lol. that's why I put it away. I don't want to be attached to the ridiculousness. people are easily influenced.
I got one from ice shaker through a brand whom sponsors streamers i watch that influence us to drink powders of energy, hydration and or sleep aids (Similar to gfuel & ghost energy) one is advanced but add the power into water shake it boom marketed heavy to gamers but liquid IV does the same too.
And seriously sure we all walked pasted this very cups a month ago and ain't bat an eye god social media brings out the worst in people and fomo hits some waaaaaaaaay too hard! blind consumerism is wild and the fact cops were need to i remember black friday when someone died over a PS3 to fights over TV's.....
It comes across like "well yeah I just so happen to have every product that influencers peddle but its different with me. Im naturally cool and when other people started liking the products I don't like them now."
It feels like a desperate explanation for why you possess all of these products.
I'm talking about one product lol. I don't own anything else that's been influenced (that I'm aware of), I just don't pay attention. I was using my Stanley proudly even when I found out it was a popular influenced item, I didn't care, I liked it and still used it.. It wasn't until the Starbucks/Target collab. I do find myself better than the people who behaved the way they did for a cup...as an adult, it was appalling to see other adults behave that way. that's why I said I was secondhand embarrassed. maybe there's an age difference between me and you. I don't think about being "cooler" than others. it's really not that deep, promise.@@ChristinaFromRUclips
It's called scarcity marketing and as long as it works, brands are going to keep doing it. Right now it appears to be working a treat.
Omg the Stanley Steamer commercial at 13:04 and that whole bit had me rolling 🤣 I have 3 teenage sons and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this trend but I’m so thankful because the world is going absolutely crazy. I’ve worked in advertising and communications and what we know (meaning what research has shown) about how to manipulate the human mind is honestly terrifying. Guard your minds, y’all! And unplug them kids from the iPads before they are no longer sentient! 😅😳💀 Great video! New sub. 🙌
PLEASE 😂 Adam is so unserious I love it. “How does it know the difference?” 🤣🤣
Sorry that i started the cult of Stanley but the fate of Humanity is un my hands
I think stanley is going to stay for pretty mutch a long time as long as its cute just like the movie barbie
I truly blame this on parasocial relationships & to some extent - viral marketing. I’ve been off social media for nearly 8 years & remember when Yeti Brand was HUGE online, with resellers getting 50-75 for the standard ones, ones customized with those tacky “Live Laugh Love-like” platitudes/names with indistinguishable fonts. I still have a Yeti someone gave me for Christmas back then and…it’s just a cup at the end of the day. I drink nothing but water so as long as it’s colder than 60 degrees, I’m content. Just turned 32 & the other women my age are spending more on multiple mugs a month than I spend on my mortgage 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Has it been 8 years since Yeti exploded? That was my first thought, "Don't all these people still have their Yeti tumblers!?" That was the whole thing, they were supposed to last a lifetime.
@@SalisburySnake It started going “viral” around that time, if not a little before, iirc. Mine has “Merry Christmas 2015 From ____” on it (name left blank as a joke since they had one made for everyone & just Sharpied a name on each).
What I find hilarious is it's just "Stanley", the tool company lol
I love the parody videos with the girl coming to the kitchen island and then the guy with the trash can/recycle bin trying to bring it in his car 🤣🤣🤣🤣 People are truly rediculous.
Yeah I had to look up the full videos. They were pretty funny.
I own a Stanley, I really like it. I was looking for a new tumbler after my old one broke. The thing is, I only have one. It’s wild to me that people will collect these cups when the point of a reusable tumbler is to reduce waste.
I have one 30oz, I was looking for a new water bottle, and it checked all the boxes. I like it and have used it every day for the last 6-8 months but I don't need another one. I did buy one for my 17 year old dancer who uses a huge water bottle, when her old one cracked and broke.
Oh really that's amazing please tell us more
Yeah if you use it all the time it makes sense. Sometimes people just get into collecting things.
@@bl8388 yea it's called being a hoarder
I would love to know how many times you lost it with laughter during the editing stage, this is absolutely ridiculous and I love it 😂 you somehow managed to be better at researching than most major news outlets and I salute you for that, always love your content Kevin, you never cease to amaze and make my day!
I've been carrying around similar cups for years and years now. I go nowhere without my cup. I go to work with it and I have a bigger bottle in my locker to refill throughout the day. Suddenly, the people I work with notice I have a cup and I constantly get people asking about my Stanley. I'm like "hell no, I don't have a Stanley. I'm not crazy enough to pay $45 for a freaking cup." The $15 cup I have doesn't leak, keeps my ice from melting and fits in my cup holder. I do have one of the huge old Stanley containers and I love it, but I tend to use it for long road trips when I need extra coffee.
I had purchased some of those for Christmas gifts that were going to be gifted later tin January because my friends were out of town and some for myself. As soon as this craziness started I returned it all! I refused to be associated with such behavior!!! It's insane! Pregnant woman fighting over a cup at target, and adults making children cry because they stole their cup 🙄 you will not see me with one of those cups
Yeah this became a luxury name now like supreme and gucci 💀 I'm gonna stick with my video game theme metal water bottle from game stop.
When people lose their common sense to even resort to going feral over a common cup they no doubt walked pasted a month go but suddenly "want it" ugh fuck social media dude it only dooms and makes these worse!
@@M4TTYNthis is not a new social media phenomenon. Ever heard of Cabbage Patch Kids? Look up some old news footage of people fighting over them in stores and stealing them away from kids. This was in 1983, no Internet around.
I agree, it’s the principle of it all. I am not a sheep!
@@ms.pirate I drink out of Tupperware water bottles LOL
I don’t give in these ridiculous fads. When the Yeti was a huge thing, didn’t buy one and this Stanley cup I’ve been seeing everywhere. However I did buy a purple generic water bottle about 40 ounces at TJMAXX for $10. It’s going to be my second year using it. ☺️
Please do more of these videos. You have a knack for 'journalism' videos. I know it's more or less a joke, but I appreciate your humor and the way you presented it to us. Brilliant work, Kevin. That being said, I bought a Stanley last year because I wanted something to keep my water cold and a straw that wouldn't break (I was using a normal tumbler from Target but broke the straw). I legit had no idea how crazy it's gotten. My Stanley is covered in stickers. WHOOPS. 😂
6:16 "I want this lady in my basement...." Me and you both, kid. Me and you
I only camped out for something once in my life, and it was for the original Xbox. I thought with online shopping etc. this would be a thing of the past and my kids would never believe that people used to camp outside of a store to buy something... I WAS WRONG! People are doing it for a damn cup!
This. This is top tier content. That Adam the Woo segment is absolutely the best edit ive seen this year.
Bravo! Amazing turn around on this video. The bit with Adam's review, chefs kiss! Hope to see you two together more often.
I screamed when that kid said he wanted a house for Christmas, me too lil dude, me too! 😄
I got a Hydro Flask in this same style of cup. On sale for $30 and it's better than the Stanley cups some of my friends have. This Stanley madness is, well, madness.
I found a brand new hydroflask at the park once a few years ago when it trendy. I remember being in shock because it looked like it was never even used and still had a tag on it. I still have it and it really all you need, it doesn’t leak either
I have a vintage Stanley (similar to that jumbo green that guy showed) that's glass lined and has to be prewarmed or pre cooled to prevent shock to the glass lining.
It's a great cup, I bought it many years ago and used it for hot coffee or cold tea. It was great because despite the 98F heat outside I still had ice cold tea I brewed that morning.
However I remember the funny looks and scoffs I would get when I brought it out. Now it's suddenly a fad right? Something cool? When just a few years ago someone would make a joke about me carrying it around.
I bought it at a thrift store for like $3.
No, those things are still ugly.
Unbelievable and ridiculous. I cannot for the life of me fathom how people react like this for something so unimportant. People are so easily manipulated into focusing on the things that don’t matter. With everything this country has going on, this is just stupidity at its finest.
Amen.
I am a 33 year old who swore off social media a few years ago and my wife literally JUST told me about this Stanley trend... I had to watch this video to understand.
Why are we so dumb? Seriously, how has our human race existed this long? If you need me, I'll be off going off grid now. 😂
Tbh I’m surprised these got so popular with women b/c when everyone wanted to ban straws one of the main argument I remember was the wrinkles you get from straws. I did get a laugh from the girls TikTok on how to avoid them 😂 I stay away from straw tumblers cause they get so dirty
Buy a straw cleaner. I have extra straws to put in my water bottle and a straw cleaner. I have a cheap insulated water bottle from target though. It's great I can have ice for days in that thing. I got it on sale for $14
This is why I can’t take the tiktok girlies seriously when they want to talk about massive consumerism and attack others who buy anything not from a thrift store. The platform they love FUELS this shit
They’re only dirty because many of the girls didn’t realize that even with water cups should be cleaned every use. Most were just flat out not cleaning them UNTIL they saw mold signs
I use glass straws that I put in dishwasher.
Do you really get wrinkles? I've always used straws but because I have very sensitive teeth to cold things in particular.
Reminds me of the brand Champion. When I was a kid, it was sold at k-mart as cheap clothing. Suddenly, its the expensive, high-end, must have brand. Society is weird.
So the part with Adam reviewing…that was the most amazingly edited thing I’ve ever seen. Pure comedy gold! 😂😂
“How does it know the difference…” 😂
I do drink more than 40oz of water a day, on average I drink 90-130 oz per day. However, I do not need a $45 cup to do this. I have a 25oz bottle with a straw that flips up with the click of a button that I paid about $12 for. This bottle will keep my water cold for several hours and is refillable (so I do not need a huge bulky size) I do not know if it will keep my water cold for 2 days, I do not drink water that has been sitting in a container for 2 days.
Good you are properly hydrated.
This is nuts I used to find shelves full of these tumblers at Walmart for $15 no one would buy 🤣
What a lovely video. I laughed, rolled my eyes and had my mouth hit the floor. 😂The cult of Stanley is CRAZY. In fact, the power and influence of social media is scary
To the sudden shifts of "oh this isn't cool" then "oh this is cool now" making me remember when the wii was a hot item in 2006 to even tomogachi's and toys in general kids wants a dang CUP making me feel old and very confused!
Reminding me of the 🍄 cult.
Maybe people should calm down just a smidge over a cup/tumbler
I have an old Stanley vacuum flask that I am using to store hot tea for my next snow shift. It cost me $5 at a thrift store. I don't use tumblers because the leaking is an issue.
I use their cookset for camping, it was always cheap but good quality, and due to this incident the prices of even that have temporarily skyrocketed
Dude, thank you for making this video! I am very intrigued with that CEO guy now. I will research his marketing strategy because he is 100% on to it. He can turn any pile of poop into pure gold from the sound of it. A genius with a Midas touch. That’s exactly the type of smarts a small business owner needs to move product.
His marketing strategy: paying TikTok influencers to pretend to like the product. That’ll be $10k for my consultancy.
Stanley was never a pile of poop, I’ve got a thermos that was made in the 40’s or 50’s that has been on the job now for 3 generations. Stanley was always popular on job sites and for truckers, in fact about the only place you could guarantee to find some Stanley products was the truck stops.
My teenager looked at me nuts when I said elementary school kids wanted these cups. It isn't a popular thing at her high school school here in California. They would rather have nice shoes and clothes.This same thing happened with the Yeti craze and then the Hydro Flask and will be replaced by something else I am sure.
It's funny how times have changed. When I was in school you were not allowed to have any type of drink except at lunch and would get fussed at for asking to go to the water fountain during class and told you should have gone between classes somehow. Now my kids have to have their water bottle every day. It is a good change, my default state is slight dehydration because of those years of training it to be, haha, so they will fare better in life. But I make sure that their water bottles 1) do not leak/spill, 2) can fit in that side pocket of their backpacks, and 3) are dishwasher safe short of a few thermos style ones.
Oh yeah.. the hydro flask. Is that even still a thing?? I wonder if it will just become like trends on loop.. ?? They can just cycle through Yeti to Hydro flask to Stanley, maybe Thermos will be up next? Man, who'd have ever thought, reusable cups would be a thing?
@@FireMrshlBill You weren't allowed to keep a drink with you in school? I was in school in the 80's and 90's and in elementary school I don't recall if we were allowed or not (my kids are now in elementary and they can't carry drinks neither) But by the time I was started middle school we were allowed to carry a water,snapple or even a can of soda. High school we could have coffee or redbull too. That actually sounds cruel that they wouldn't let you bring drinks, lol. I would have been suffering, I was ALWAYS thirsty as a kid and was always carrying around beverages in school.
@@winterlynn9012 nope, insane as it sounds these days. Was a 90’s-00’s kid (graduated in ‘03) and if you had a drink open in class you were getting yelled at, told to put it under your seat if lucky or tossed. And especially after columbine, there were a number of years you couldn’t carry a backpack or coat around, would have to keep them in a locker and carry 1-2 periods worth of books in your arms. So couldn’t even stow a drink in a backpack to drink between classes. I think later in high school they may have lifted the backpack rule, but can’t say for sure. But ya, I could go the whole day with just the one drink at lunch and maybe a few sips from a water fountain here and there. They usually did water breaks in PE. They definitely trained us to be good little worker bees. Trying to fit in a water and bathroom break between classes when you have barely 5 min to do that, hit up your locker and get to your class on the other side of the school.
What society has turned into, recording everything, screaming “stop him! …I didn’t touch him….stop him!” Egging on the situation but not taking any action to help, what have we become
💯
Well she's not security nor it's not her job to stop a feral consumer stealing!
"Maybe I should get Carol one...for her kidney stones.." 🤣🤣🤣
i have a 15 dollar generic white insulated bottle from walmart and i’ve used it since freshman year, i’m about to graduate highschool soon and i still bring it everyday. it keeps my drinks warm/cold and it is 100% better than a stanly cup.
Sad state we’re in where people find it necessary to pay to get a selfie with one of these unnecessarily large cups. SMH
I was convinced I will never buy a Stanley until the end when you put the container of ice cream in it. That seems like the most reasonable thing to do with one.
I have a Hydroflask Tumblr. Im perfectly fine with using this. I got it for 13.99 T TJ Maxx😎
Yeah, it is a good idea.
There are other brands that work exactly the same way, that aren't overpriced. You can even get insulated containers designed for foods instead of drinks. Even if you don't find one that fits a pint carton, you could just scoop the ice cream into an insulated container. Then you could get any brand of ice cream, not just the little cartons.
😂😂😂 every mom needs a Stanley because I’m tired of my coffee getting freaking cold!!!!😂😂❤❤❤ mine will be here on Wednesday yayyy
It's definitely great marketing. But it's insane to see. The craze about the pink and red ones reminded me of the tickle me Elmo fights and stuff at Christmas time in the 90's.
The thing is, most of the knockoffs or dupes are just as good. When yetis were big, I bought an Ozark trail (Walmart) dupe bc there was no way I'd spend $50 (still no way) for a cup and it worked just as well.
My sister got me one during summer of 2023 and i only really use it at home, if at all. Too big to be used outside practically and too clunky to be at home when i could just use a cup. Makes me wonder how long this trend is actually gonna last.
I don't have a Stanley because it's like a dollar an once. But I do have a 40oz Hydraflow. It's great because I live in Texas and it keeps things hot or cold. And my local you have to bring your own cup for drinks. So I have it for ice tea or a fountain soda. I have a smaller insulated cup for coffee because I still don't get having more then 16oz of coffee at a time.
Not long at all. The Stanley girls already moved on to the Owala brand LOL
@@Bunijoon how do u kno
The lady with the wall of Stanleys reminds me of my ex-mom in law and her short lived obsession with beanie babies. She had entire Tupperware storage bins full of them, & would search for certain "rare" ones...oh I wonder what happened to all those beanie babies...
This reminds me of Christmas shopping with my mom during the Furby craze when we witnessed four adult women in a physical fight screeching and attacking one another in the toy department as employees tried to separate them.
As a business owner, I’d love to learn marketing secrets from this CEO - crocs and Stanley, wow, he’s brilliant
Yeah, but it would be really difficult to make sure your production is ready & often the fad dies as quickly as it started, so then you're stuck with a bunch of product that is old news. It can be great for a company if they know how to prepare for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could bankrupt a company that doesn't know how to plan for it.
Also, it would be great to make a lot of money, but honestly, I'd be embarrassed to be part of this kind of insanity.
@@miriamrobarts yeah, I don’t want to use his business smarts to peddle crap, but the stuff I believe in instead. There’s far too many good products out there that aren’t known because of poor marketing, and lots of terrible things that are selling well because of great marketing. Imagine what would happen for the stuff that actually benefits people and the planet with his marketing skills
