I’ve just used a sheep bladder to carry my drink around in for the past six years. I’d get something a little more modern and less rotted, but that would involve a dangerous cut into my bean budget, and I just can’t afford the risk.
You're so right for calling out those shallow commercialists Georg; Us Hiptang connoisseurs are among the elite few that are above such trivial obsessions...
Can't replace the sweetness of good old lead. Just adds that little, extra oomph. Especially when you're screaming in pain from the mental degradation you've suffered.
Late last year I abandoned all of my social media accounts outside of direct messaging and RUclips. It’s been great for my mental health. But things like this just pass me by. I had a conversation at work where everybody was talking about these darn things and my only response was “wait, like grandads construction thermos? THAT Stanley?” After that conversation I have started noticing these damn things everywhere and I will not be swayed!
"How will they know I'm non-conformist without my Non-Conformist uniform??" Distilled that SLC Punk retrospective down to one sentence dang! Nice video 😂
I felt called out!! Goddamn we are all conforming to something. Though i think he is bit wrong. I think in a globalised word, one will end up finding a community of LIKE people online or on the other corner of the world. I think to be a non-conformist, one must be non-conforming to the shackles being imposed around you by your immediate surroundings. Let's say everybody around you is a normie and you're a goth, that's still non-conformist. But if you find a group of other goths in that you can regularly hang out with and you aren't a non-conformist there too, you're a normie.
I've been carrying around insulated cups of various brands for 10 years now, and now all of a sudden I'm being associated with trendy bullshit. I've also seen Stanley as a generic sounding camping gear supplier in the Walmart aisle long before then.
The guy behind the Stanley cup fad used to work at a sports shoe company (Reebock?) who learned that creating special version of a shoe can make people buy one.
George, people got very concerned about me last time I started drinking water from a pine-sol bottle while on the treadmill. I don't know that I'm ready to have that conversation with the police again so soon.
I will say this, the old school stanley thermos is good for bringing chicken soup to the job site, also their old school flask is good for bringing, uh chicken soup to the job site.
I was so happy when I heard TikTok was crazy about the Stanley Cup. Finally a trend that isn't dumb. Just kids finding out about the great sport of ice hockey.
After Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ dropped, I was all-in on the Grunge scene I had the ‘Butt-Cut’ hair, wore flannel’s, and Doc’s even though I lived in suburban Orlando, Florida!!
I bought The Stanley Cup to keep my coffee hot on the way to work. A terrible investment. Not only does it NOT come with a lid so my coffee spills out of its, quite frankly, TINY bowl, but at 37lbs and almost 40" tall, it's totally impractical. Plus it's made from some kind of non-insulated metal alloy. I'd be much better of with one of those little Thermos mug things.
I buy all my kitchen sh!t thru the strayan ‘op shops’. It’s secondhand stuff that has survived some other bunts cuff, so it’ll probably withstand my amateur bs. Anyway, since the cheapening, all stuff made when there was competition, innovation and scam culture hadn’t established itself is valuable in its ability to last longer than a tik tok video The enshitenment is upon us, the least of us have all the c@$h and don’t wanna give it up. The greatest revenge is survival beyond your foes wishes. Good vid.
I'm not a follower of trends or easily swayed by subtle advertising. But you mentioned both beans and cheese in this video and I just wanted to say that my beans on toast with cheese topping was lovely, thank you.
Not to defend this trend, but Stanley thermos products are not something replacable with a 5 dollar alternative. Though the people in this fad could, because they likely will never use one on a work site, or other harsh environment. When I got my first labor job my dad gave me the one he had from the military. I had that thing for 12 years. Then it got ran over by a piece of heavy machinery and it's insulation seal cracked. Bought a couple more and still have them 20 years later. Still look new. They will keep liquids cold, or warm, for more than a day. With ice they can keep your drink cold for several days if left closed.
It is interesting that you refer to them as "Stanley thermos products." "Thermos" is a trademark for insulated bottles sold by Thermos LLC, a brand that has existed for more than a hundred years, and they are so ubiquitous that many people are unaware of the trademark.
I didn't know these cups were popular until I heard people mock their popularity. Becoming out of touch moves along a continuum, you see... I'm still getting accustomed to it.
I remember the day that I really learned about 'trendy'. I was in my first year of senior school and my classmate had a tee-shirt with a small crocodile motif stitched onto it. I was the only kid apparently who didn't know what Lacoste was. It didn't make sense to me when it was explained but a year or two later and I simply had to have a HEAD bag and I was soooo chuffed when I got one!
@@the20thDoctor Chuffed is good in UK parlance and HEAD is a sporting goods manufacturer who lean towards tennis gear but whose bags became the must have school accessory in the mid to late 1980s... to the degree that, in my city, nearly 100% of kids my age will have owned one during that era. They still exist and are fairly popular but Nike and Adidas have a much larger market share.
The "pot filler" trend reminded me of the fake car phone antenna trend. I was imagining people just attaching the pot filler to the wall, since running a water line to the stove is a bit costly.
I just looked up these cups and they're $45! Why would anyone pay that much for a cup?! I still use my old X-MEN: The Last Stand Slurpy cup from 7-Eleven.
The Stanley thermos is tight though. Once McDonald's started charging more than a buck for coffee I just started brewing my own. I've probably saved thousands of dollars over the last 5 years and that thing only cost me 32 bucks on Amazon. Yeah... those cups are pointless. If I need a cup I'm buying one from Goodwill.
I’m old so I’m angry about everything. That aside, we called this kind of thing “ jumping someone else’s train”. It was not a good thing. Maybe I’ve always been old.
4:48 that's so true! Last week, I asked my family to bring me a uniqlo bag that was trendy on tiktok like a year ago from abroad. Because I want to be just like these cool girls from the Western countries who can afford cool trendy things and not be the one earning 300 euros a month
Why don't you a video on tattoos? That was a stunning social trend or phenomenon or whatever you'd call it of recent vintage that took western culture by storm, against all odds I would have thought. Truly incredible that that became such a thing and now many, many people have the most garish tattoos all over their bodies, including even respectable, aspirational people that you never thought would ever do something like that. Anyway, I thought I might suggest that. Great channel by the way...
Bro. Right before clicking on this video, I saw a bunch of guys running for the bus. A whole bunch of them have that kind of mushroom cut which you showed in this video. I was wondering how so many (5?) guys could have the same hair cut.
Yeah! Bugger Stanley cups, in fact bugger THE Stanley Cup too! Clearly Lord Stanley started all of this 1893 and now many eons later we are stuck in this hellscape of pastel hues.
I was always made to feel like an outsider for storing my urine in jars, but after switching to Stanley cups, I'm suddenly part of the in-crowd.
... and here's me drinking my stored urine at room temperature like a chump.
😂😂😂
High definition piss jugs!
Fair enough
@@superspecky4eyeswasnt it supposed to be luke warm. How long did you store it?

i would never tie my self worth and sense of identity to a brand. that's why i'm a connesseur of Hiptang exclusively
I would choke to death on beans if I gargled them. Thanks for the advice. Will go try it now.
As intended.
Still better than gargling on the _can._
"Sudden, inexplicable spike in bean-choking fatalities"
Personally I bought my Stanley Cup for the lead content, I deserve some lead. As a treat.
All leaders need lead
Can't replace the sweetness of good old lead.
Just adds that little, extra oomph.

I'm in a very similar boat, I'm still not sure why anyone cares about those cups tbh.
Pinterest is my happy place ❤
I personslly prefer to hold my water in my legs and ankles, like a proper middle-aged American.
"Churnalism", what a fantastic coinage.
Warning: this video contains images of Ricky Gervais.
So more reason to watch the video.

I can’t be the only one who thought that people were suddenly big into hockey
For a full two weeks I thought that
Hockey > All other sports
"Why are all these women talking about hockey?" - Me 😂
I am actively disinterested in sports, and I also thought that.
Me too and I’m only aware of this because of the video in Wayne’s World 2.
“The Stanley Cup - 100 Years of Glory”
You did the same thing for lava lamps in 2019.
Thank you, I didn't know what to eat tonight.... Beans it is.

I've never even heard of a Stanley cup. I thought you were talking soccer or golf lol. Guess I'm too working class
You are.
I'm suddenly struck with an inexorable yearning for beans.
My partner got a stanley cup years back, shes been using the same army green one before the hype, and will likely still be using it after...
Things that scream, "I'm unique, in the same way everyone else is."
Sure, says the CEO of Hiptang.
hadnt heard of these fuckin cups. thanks

Is it because American cities buy up all your hockey players?
I listened to this video in a playlist I made for my commute and at first I thought you were talking about hockey!
My throat hurts so bad...from all dem
BEANSSS
I've recycled a glass vodka bottle as my water bottle. It started as a quick convenience, I kept on because of the response.

Two beans, one Stanley cup.
I've tried to have this discussion a few times recently only to be told about the Stanley cup's life changing insulation.
Suppose it could be worse, say a trend surrounding a completely non-functional item.
Thanks for bring it back up right at the end to finish on a nice cheery note 😊
I've never been a trend chaser and I never will be, I've always held a disdain for trends.

Yeah, Nathan.
All I can think about after watching this is that I need to get more hiptang

I have always refused to follow trends as much as possible. People are sheep.
That early musical cue sounded a lot like Night Trap.
I'm not gonna gargle beans, Georg.
