One time I saw someone with a mini Stanley Cup accessory for their Stanley Cup, and I gotta be honest... I think that's super cute. Like a teddy bear holding a smaller teddy bear.
I work in retail and we sell these little rubber straw topper things (I guess to stop bugs from getting into your straw? Idk) and one of them looks like a little Stanley cup, and the thought of anyone sincerely finding that cute in the way they find a teddy bear cute is mind boggling to me.
@@ddmaycare that makes sense, I guess... I have a water bottle that I got for free from an employer a long time ago, and the straw thing just folds into the lid, so I don't have to buy silly accessories to make up for the bottle's poor design in the first place. It all seems so, so silly to me. 😂
@@zenleeparadiseI’m not going to lie, I have a purple Stanley with a lil purple Stanley straw cover (not Stanley brand ofc lol) and I have had multiple people think it is the CUTEST thing they’ve ever seen.

Stanley uses soldering to seal the Stanley cups. Any good vacuum sealed cup/bottle does that. The thing is, soldering is lead. My uncle is a metal artist he solders metal together and has lead in it. The fun thing is, if you don’t lick it or swallow it after it’s cooled down and formed you won’t get any damage. Non-lead solders aren’t as strong and malleable at the same time. So it doesn’t work as well for the purpose of a cup that is going to take beatings from people like me who have butter fingers. The reason people found lead in Stanley cups is because the piece that seals the lead away safely is broken off on their cup and are cleaning the whole thing with the same one sponge or rag. If they washed other dishes with that sponge or rag after the fact, those other dishes would test positive on a swab I’m sure but I don’t know exactly. That’s why Stanley has lifetime warranty. Once the Stanley logo circle on the bottom comes off you contact Stanley for a replacement. It’s safe otherwise as long as you clean it regularly. Including taking the gasket (the white or black rubber ring in the lid) and all other removable parts off and cleaning them too. Including removing the rubber from the straw insert part idk what that’s called.
God damn it. Now i want aesthetic conent thats just off. Like it hits all the marks, but when theyre restocking their fridge theres just a jar of eyes on one shelf. When theyre cleaning, they clean up a bloody handprint without explqination. They restock! But they have a large compartment for just naked razorblades. When they fill up their tiny backpack, its all breathmints or something. Etc. Small things that might even go unnoticed at first, ones that are never explained but tell a story.
7:38 that actually looks like when people like FULLY kit out their airsoft guns 😭 like ive seen people with triple the weight of the actual gun in accessories
Okay, so in the teeniest defense of this over-the-top cup: I believe cuticle oil is supposed to be applied several times a day, so you’re not meant to just keep it in your night stand. Not that it needs to go on your cup, but.
Came to the comments to say this. I've seen it recommended to apply every 30 min and I only manage like a couple times a day but I know my cuticles and nails would benefit from more frequent use. Definitely not something I've ever had to use before maintaining long polished nails.
I am not rich and I have a day and night phone. My night phone was an old phone I had and then got an upgrade and is now a cheap kindle basically so I can read books before bed without getting distracted. So anyway I like your theory and I think the toaster is a charger.
9:20 okay but Cherry Obituary is by far the best flavor of Liquid Death I’ve had and it’s a white can that fits their aesthetic, why the heck did they not choose to have a white can 😂
Also, piggy backing off the last commenter: please keep in mind that prescription medications are controlled substances and if you're carrying them with you in public it is illegal to have pills on you that are not in their appropriate, properly labelled packaging. You can get in serious trouble for just having unlabeled, loose pills on you, even if you're prescribed them.
@@zenleeparadise This is definitely something to keep in mind in some places, with some drugs. Definitely check your local laws if you want to bring meds in alternative containers! I'm lucky enough to live somewhere it's fine to carry my depression meds in a pill caddy.
Yesh the only reasonable explanation of having that tiny holder is for your meds as while you can take a packet of mints with you, it can be a bit risky to take your months supply of meds in case you lose them.
i think this is def just asmr lol. i didnt read the excessiveness of it as an aspirational thing but like a satisfying thing in the asmr sense. lots of ppl like watching stuff be meticulously sorted like this and the stanley cup is just there bc its trendy. obv all the stuff is there to be promoted through affiliate links or something to earn the creator money but im pretty sure i get the appeal of watching these vids and why theyre set up like this. also lots of kids are on tiktok and into the stanley cup thing so accessories for the cool trendy thing they own would be appealing. when i was a kid the kids with the most silly bands (like wearing them all the way up their forearms) were the coolest ones lol this kind of stuff is very easy to sell to kids
they should have tactical accessories so us MANLY MEN can enjoy our stanley cups. examples being: laser sights, picatinny rails, suppressors, drum magazines, tactical mint bag (it has camo) etc.
omg i think they missed the lady using her voice activated bin. i’ve had a few of her tiktoks on my fyp before and whenever she empties a can of juice into the cup she crushes it and says “OPEN. CAN.”
i don’t have a stanley, but this little bag fits on the cup i do have and is perfect for when i’m out with my toddler and don’t have the arms to comfortably be carrying a bag, a cup, and a toddler lol.
lol OF COURSE IT'S EMILY LEAH. Fun fact about Emily - she used to be an anti-Multi-Level Marketing TH-camr who regularly posted about the MLM women that hoard their products. And now she's the poster child for excessive Amazon crap. You truly become the villain if you live long enough.
