Stanley Cup is good, though, i've had it for years, and it keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for 10 hours, even though its been heavily abused it still works
@@slightlytoxic069It might be good but you have to consider the utility. It keeps drinks hot for 10 hours but I dont drink from a cup for 10 hours, I drink it when im thirsty and that usually means emptying the cup in one sitting. Its durable, but unless you're going camping, hiking, rock climbing: its not going to be experiencing intense activity that necessitates extreme durability. The marketing points are valid and for some people that means useful, but the average person buying these isnt doing all those things on a remotely frequent enough basis to matter. It would be like you trying to sell me a top of the line computer based on its operating specs: It has RGB output, 1080HDMI, AVG, WBI, 3000BTUs, Intel Acelleron processing, RTX, etc etc. and from your perspective as someone who knows what these things mean/be able to utilize these things you might genuinely feel its great: but im just using a computer to look at memes and sometimes play Stardew Valley. I dont need all the bells and whistles just for the sake of their being bells and whistles. This is where the pride in not having one comes in - you see people going ape over a cup and you're thinking "it's a cup? Whats the big deal?". People can try to convince you its this new amazing thing but the reality is: its a cup. Its a fancy cup, a durable cup, a useful cup: but it's still just a cup. It holds liquid. People are flocking and creating/chasing status around: a cup.
@@slightlytoxic069I’ve bought $10-$15 generic bottles where I’ve had ice in all day, gone to sleep for the night, and still had ice cubes in the morning. This is nothing new and merely a brand fad that will move along soon enough
I work at target and I can't put in words the disdain I felt pulling up for work at 650 am seeing legitimately 40+ people waiting for a fucking cup, mere weeks after Christmas.
I'm a 30+ year old media creator with aspergers syndrome who is a jack of all trades with a passion for fighting against cyberbullying. I've been doing these kinds of things for over 10 years and I've picked up a whole set of different skills along the way.
stanley is a good insulated cup, but so are the tumblers from yeti, igloo, hydroflask, iron flask etc. stanley just happens to be the trendy cup right now. give it a year and everyone will move on to the next insulated beverage vessel lol
@@kiradynrhiode2231 same! I've had a 32oz yeti tumbler bottle for like 4 years and I love it. keeps my water cold, and I decorated it with hella stickers. I even got it laser engraved 😁 and all for like half the price of these stanleys. I have a 20oz one for coffee too and it keeps it perfectly hot
One of the weirdest parts to me is that they're reusable in order to reduce waste but people are trying to collect the new releases. Why?? You already have a reusable cup??
wrd i love the design so i got an iceflow 2 years ago, its more convenient than the popular design but it was 36 pounds, still i never got another like it took so long to find the cheapest ones😭
@@juanfernando4686that’s excessive imo but I guess some people like to collect. I don’t see why any regular person would need more than three water bottles, though
I got one of these ON CLEARANCE at Walmart like 6 months ago. Got it in a whim because I wanted something 40oz. Now I hate this cursed object- but can’t get rid of it because it has my frog sticker collection on it.
@@MrUssy101 keep it a buck, there's absolutely nothing clever about reselling and there never will be. it's the most simple-minded and common way of making profit off of something limited edition lol
@@MrUssy101lmaooo what? Even if you got and sold 3 that’s only $450 profit that’s like a one time thing. That’s not a lot of money and not consistent 😂
I bought a stanley cup a year ago on clearance for 15 bucks and its always worked amazing for hot and cold drinks but i never knew that i was in possession of such a rare artifact, now i fear for my families safety
There are so many insulated cups out there now that will keep a drink cold and the ice intact for 24 hours. That's nothing new. It's well worth the investment of $20 for a cup that does that. The fact that Stanley was smart enough to buy the person a car because of the viral marketing that was already happening shows real intelligence in that company! People standing in line for hours to get a mug that they can resell for up to $200 or more? That's not a surprise at all especially when you can buy two! I'm sure a lot of the people buying that online for $200 are probably rich women that couldn't be bothered standing in line or looking for it, but want their friends to see it when they're coming out of their pilates class that they take every day because they have no real jobs because they married into money. (Was that a run-on sentence? I would know, I couldn't afford college.) 🤔
Every day I become more and more grateful that I live under a rock. It makes my skin crawl to see stuff like this. I'm usually very much a "do what you want as long as you're not hurting anyone" sort of person, but just something about the insatiable desire to have THINGS, any thing, all the things, continuously and mindlessly consume things that happen to be trending online is repulsive to me.
You have to admit that the cup marketing machine was on another level. First it was tumbler, then hydro flask, and now Stanley (skipping quite a few fads in-between). It feels like every few months my sister comes home with a new cup fad which then gets my dad and younger sister to switch brands. I think it kind of defeats the purpose to constantly update a metal cup that is advertised as “reducing waste” if you swap brands every few years. The one upside is that I now have 5 hydro flasks to keep my water cold that I can fill up and leave in my trunk if I’m ever doing outdoor work or workouts.
@@user-te2zq6tb9kShocker: Families do stupid things. The stupid things are what keeps life fun though; not everything is or should be serious. People are so far up their asses all the time they can't stop and appreciate that family is supposed to be happy and casual and not always make the most sense in how they interact with one another.
Out of all the things you ponder on our consumption in this horrible country, a metal cup it what you choose to bitch about? Not like there’s literal children mining cobalt
The marketing manager of Stanley must be really proud for making it so that even changing the color of their cup and calling it limited edition can drive people crazy.
The funny thing is that there’s already pink Stanley cups (I have female friends who’ve had pink ones for months now), so literally nothing other than this being a “collab” with Starbucks makes this remotely anything special.
Theres a video that went viral on tiktok where this lady's car burned down and the next day the only thing that survived was the stanley cup. The water inside was still icy cold. Stanley director saw it and thought it was cool so they offered to give the lady a new car. Im pretty sure this is why people are going crazy over this bottle.
I have a friend who worked at a target who lost her job because she bought one after it had been on the floor for awhile, while she was on break at full price. Only nobody had bothered to tell the employees tickets for them had been handed out to customers and this particular Karen demanded her to be fired even though my friend brought back the cup because it was just a miscommunication. The kind of diseased soul who would demand someone's lively hood be taken over a cup is appalling, not to mention the way target threw one of their employees under the bus for this lady. Having worked there I'm pretty sure they would let customers hunt employees for sport if it meant a positive Google review.
It's Target, so why should she care that she lost her job? She could probably make what she'd make in a month at Target by selling the cup that she bought.
Wtf, if tickets for the cups were handed to customers, the cups shouldn’t have been on the floor - an item being out on the floor is fair game for everyone. I hope your friend found a better job, and one that actually informs their employees of things like that
@@Zenigundamcompletely missing the point, wow. Finding a job can take weeks. That could be weeks without feeding her children. Use your brain, I’m begging you
@@ZenigundamTell me you don’t live in the real world without telling you don’t live in the real world! Target pays a lot more than $200 in a month even if it’s like 30 hours a week, plus it’s hard to find another job when you got fired from your last one.
The car fire thing is actually kinda crazy. This lady's car was completely destroyed, burnt to a crisp, but the Stanley cup she had in the cup holder was unscathed, AND the ice inside was still frozen! So Stanley bought her a new car and gave her a bunch of free cups. It's like the holy grail of accidental marketing 😅
The cup barely got touched by the flames, which is why there's only a little bit of soot on it, and the plastic straw in it was untouched. Had the car actually "burnt to a crisp", there would be no cup holder to begin with, just a pile of scrap metal. Good thing the company is actually decent, considering that people are more willing to blindly believe that the cup is made of super-vibrainum that magically survived the fires of hell than to see for themselves that it's a generic stainless steel cup that just kinda sat next to an open flame.
Hello Charlie, I don't know if you heard but a girl at a school in Memphis (where i live) got her head caved in with a Stanley Cup. The high school is Houston High School. The girl luckily survived but now has permanent brain damaged. The other girl is being charged with attempted murder, and awaiting trial.
Jfc. I bet the cup didnt have a single dent and the drink was still warm after too. _Buy Stanley. Convert to Stanley_ (Seriously though, that's effed up and I hope the girl who did it gets some serious consequence against her. Whatever happened to just getting in a fist fight and sorting shit out after? Why does everyone keep going for the nuclear option and outright trying to kill each other?)
It's kind of annoying tbh No Charlie, most people are not hyper-fixated on keeping up with every single cultural trend at all times, or streamers with thousands of people spamming them at us every day.
The whole reason we subscribe, is because we HAVENT heard about this stuff. Why would we watch if we were already familiar with the subject ? He knows these are super niche topics (if you're not online all day)
If you think that's insane, there is a bracelet made by a company called FARFETCH. It's called the "Ambush" and Iit's literally just a light blue zip tie and it sells for $588.@@amberarzuaga6426
words can’t describe the emotion I felt watching this video while eating my lunch and then turning around to see that my roommate had left her Stanley cup sitting there on the table right next to me.
I'm convinced that companies plant fake fans out there to generate all of the hype for their products. They'll pay people to go nuts on camera for their product. It's like that animated movie a little while back where they made a video of people cheering in the theater for the little plant guy. They'll pay people to act candidly excited, which makes everyone think their product is a big deal, which makes people who care about being a big deal flock to the stores for them
This will be a case study in MBA marketing classes for years. Stanley has gone from the boring green thermos every dad/grandpa had to people duking it out in stores to get one of their cups. And with Yeti, Orca, Rtic, etc. cups already saturating the market they've managed to squeeze almost $1B out of these goobers selling them something they already have at home.
@@DersCalsyorum-qo2se mine doesn't. It's like it almost vacuum seals itself but it's easy to take the lid off. You would really have to put some force behind it to spill. My kids have knocked it over and nothing comes out
this release was ACTUALLY stupid, we had to call the police to the store because people were picking fights over LINE PLACEMENT - it was like a fever dream version of midnight releases
But I am wondering how they were able to see that many. How good was the marketing, persuasion teams on this offer. How did they dupe this many people to spend 300 bucks into pink cup that they believe is valuable
It's really terrifying and depressing that so many people get so deep into consumerism. It's stupid every time it happens. You're exactly right when you say "fanatical consumerism".
I got my mom a $20 tumbler that looks EXACTLY like a Stanley cup. Same size and same shape. Everything is the same except the logo. And it works perfect. Literally exactly the same that a Stanley would. The fact that people are spending so much on these things and can get a much cheaper identical version is absolutely crazy to me. I decorated the one I gave her and it was still cheaper than a Stanley🤦🏼♀️
My dad got a Stanley thermos back in late 80s/early 90s, he's used it daily, and it still keeps a pot of coffee piping hot all day long. Stanley has been in the game for over a hundred years, they know what they're doing, lol. I couldn't care less about the design of the cups, but those thermoses man, they're good stuff
Charlie is the spokesperson of this generation when it comes to "calm judgement." "I can appreciate that you all love these things, more power to you,... but why?"
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive wdym "they don't"? If you're talking about Charlie, that's not what he's doing at all. He's been dissing the cup ever since he heard about it and its price. If you were talking about the people of this generation, I could understand, but that's not even what OP is talking about.
I work at a super target and The day of the launch I saw people lined up waiting for the store to open and I was so confused when I heard they were waiting for the Stanley cups because I’ve never heard of them before, when I walked over to the display and saw that were just regular cups I thought I was dreaming or something and my brain got lazy with the script😂
@@Chan-zn7wb it really was strange, I hadn’t even seen them until I was asked to help pick a grocery Batch and I walked past the display. Earlier I had asked one of my team members what the big whoop was and he said it was a “drinking vessel” and it was meant to look like a trophy, I was downright confused when it was just a regular ass cup😭
I worked at Amazon returns, and I cannot tell you how many of these cups I saw. A day didn’t go by where I didn’t get at least one. The biggest complaint the customers had was that it scuffed/dented easily. Lots of people just didn’t like to color they received.
Insulated cups are designed to take a beating, aren't they? It shouldn't matter if it's dented, scuffed, or the color is off. People are so pathetic sometimes.
I remember getting really confused hearing about the Stanley cup because I was actually thinking that NHL had some sort of product launch. So weird shock for sure.
Seeing a Starbucks boycott (that was literally working mind you) thrown away over a cup is the ultimate example of how we as “the people” will never achieve anything ever lmao.
It's still going strong, these are the people that weren't following the boycott to begin with (fuck them) that are buying these overpriced shitty recolors. But yeah, we the people won't really achieve much with people like THAT around. Consumerism brainrot. People are so hellbent on financing genocide that they can't not buy overpriced shit coffee or overpriced recolor mugs, lmao.
Honestly the boycott is still working, the only people who lined up for the cup are people who just don't care about the boycott. Starbucks is advertising more than ever because they know the boycott is working, and the Stanley collaboration is just more advertising. Starbucks used to be known as a company that never advertised, because they didn't need to. But then Starbucks realized that they're actually losing money, and they could've gone the normal route and just stopped supporting genocide and stopped their union busting, but nah, they're just advertising their horrible coffee more.
@@NeoNovastar fr! these starbucks obsessed ppl with stanleys are the same people who were obsessed with hydroflasks. they have been around unfortunately.
0:33 The Stanley bottles and Stanely Black & Decker are 2 different companies. They aren't the same and are owned by 2 different organizations. Stanley Black & Decker was founded in 1843 and are owned by themselves, while Stanley cups was founded in 1913 and are owned by Pacific Market International.
The fact that Charlie thinks so highly of his pal Matt that it was a reasonable assumption for him to assume he must be calling it “the Stanley cup” simply because it Matt’s cup is so wholesome.
It’s crazy, my grandfather had a Stanley thermos back when they still made the inside with glass. He would take his coffee in that thermos working in the loading docks at the Winchester factory and his coffee would be hot all day long. Stanley has been a name in the industry for 100 years, plus being a name in many other markets for that long. I don’t understand why this is happening, but good for them to become a thing for the “new generation”
I mean there are a lot of cups that can hold liquids hot/cold 😂 my yeti that Ive had for 5+ years, fell asleep at the beach and 2 hrs later still had ice in it. Pick your battles bro 🤷♂️
the thermoses are great. i got a hammered green (for nostalgia? idk), and later one of the rad colors they put out. like a fluorescent red. still no regrets, it's awesome.
funniest part is that we sold all of ours weeks before the “release day”. everyone was pissed. when they came in but we had no idea it had a street date. i work at a starbucks in target and this is so real. we had someone offer us $100 to just BUY the cup. people actually fought each other for these. it’s insane for the red valentines ones, we had someone buy 42 of them
guess what? i am thy greatest utuber of all time nobody is better! + didn't ask. My content is far superior and has more value than anything this youtuber has ever produced so get over it + l'm a 30+ year old media creator with aspergers syndrome who is a jack of all trades with a passion for fighting against cyberbullying. l've been doing these kinds of things for over 10 years and l've picked up a whole set of different skills along the way.
How did y'all have no idea that they were street dated? The registers literally comes up with "unable to sell" or w/e. I don't know if the starbucks cups and/or registers are different but on the regular ones they couldn't to be sold. In our store we had employee's accidentally putting the red ones out and our guest services kept calling the VM/home TLs that they need to be pulled. (they were taking the cups from the guests so they were sick of doing damage control). So if they went around that to sell them you've got some pretty uninformed coworkers and I'm surprised your front end TLs/ETL and the SD were okay with that.
i went for my sister cause she was working, she paid me extra and bought me alcohol for getting her the cup. There were a lot of parents and grandparents very confused buying cups for their children. There was also a young boy like 16 years old who started pushing a bunch of old people yelling “don’t stand in front of a moving train. i am a moving train” to get the cup. Bro didn’t get his cup.
I think it was when some girl found her still functional Stanley cup in her car after it had caught fire. The cup was in good condition and the liquid inside was still cold but the car was beyond repair. The CEO of Stanley saw the video and sent her a brand new car, and the ensuing support people had for Stanley was enough to bring about this new craze.
@@JamesQuintero18Yeah but she got a car for free after her car set fire. Would you rather her not get a free car? Everybody is so cynical to each other now jesus.
I remember that when I got in for my target shift and I didn’t know about the new Stanley cups, I get told that I’m in charge of packing for deliveries and then I see an ungodly amount of cups that we sold out before we even unpacked
Back when I worked in retail last year we sold those cups. This was during the holiday rush and those cups was the stores biggest seller. It got so big we had to limit selling a max of eight cups per costumer per day. I later learned most of the purchases were for resale on ebay for more than double the price.
As a Starbucks partner (yes that's what they call their employees to make us feel better about being one), Starbucks CUSTOMERS are definitely a different breed. We have people who come in solely to gather a collection of plastic you can sip out of, and not just the Stanley brand; even the normal Starbucks branded ones that got no love from the video. I ask customers directly "how many do you have?" and a fair bit do tell me how much as well as the time-frame of how long they've been collecting. The normal Starbucks cups usually cost around $20~ dollars, but the Stanley branded ones are TWICE that, totaling around $56~ with tax. Do feel bad for the Target employees that have to deal with those types of customers. They usually get the more generic merchandise compared to the Drive-Thru, non-licensed stores.
Can vouch that the customers are surreal: I worked at one of the Starbucks in the downtown of my city as an opener, but I one particular day I was in a little later. When I walked in, my manager was furious because she literally had to lock the store down to get paramedics in, because people were stepping over a man collapsed in front of the register to order their coffee. People are deranged.
They are called partners because they give you stock in the company when you work there long enough. Every like, half a year or so you get more vested stock, so you are technically a stock partner of the company
Consumerism never fails to shock me. The public will randomly decide something is trendy and then go feral over it. TikTok seems to have made this even worse, with how viral something can go overnight.
For real, same here. Remember when people were going to Disney World and waiting in line for hours at Epcot to buy a Figment popcorn bucket? And then they went for resale online for actual hundreds of dollars
It's so ironic that tiktok users call people NPCs then behave like this, a mass flock of people buying shit because they saw that it's popular and to get into the crowd... legitimate behavior of an NPC in a game
@@Holyblackmage246or years ago during the lockdown where people made up a short of water and TP but there wasnt but because people kept buying it in large quantities it made an artificial short of those items
I have a cup from a company called Simply Modern that I bought for from Amazon. It's $23.99 and blows Stanley out of the water. By far the best cup I've owned.
i work at a target starbucks and was there for open on release day. the actual sale part went well as we had 2 team leads helping direct everyone in an orderly manner, but the amount of people asking over and over if we had the stanley cup started driving us insane. we STILL get asked about it at least five times a day. another crazy thing was this couple who had been camping outside the door brought their newborn baby and had it laying on a blanket on the ground for HOURS in 20 degree weather… they didn’t even end up buying a cup
I got so tired of people asking that I made a makeshift "SOLD OUT OF STANLEY CUPS" sign to hang at the register and that *almost* completely eradicated the questions for a good 5 hours, BUT THEN OUR TL TOOK THE SIGN DOWN AND LEGIT EVERY 10 MINUTES A NEW PERSON WOULD COME TO ASK ABOUT THE CUPS😭 like if yall are that serious about stanleys you should know that we definitely do have have any left at 5pm bruh
I bought my wife one for the original price months ago. I thought it was expensive but you know its just one. She just found out about the valentines day one and how they are flipping them. Her response was " that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, its just a different color" and I couldnt agree more.
It's funny, I'd kinda heard about the Stanley cup surviving a fire and them getting her a car, and over the last couple of days tangentially heard references to Stanley cups being really popular but it took that chatter mentioning the fire incident to actually make me connect the two and realise that's why the popularity exploded.
The fact that the cup is literally just a different color and “people” are going ham over it is honestly insane to me Edit: I was gonna look at the replies but it is just bots bro
The contentment I feel knowing an expensive cup isn't remotely important is so blissful. To have a mental state that allows such a strong need to have an item mainly for social status or to feel like you're somehow slightly more special because you have a expensive cup is so sad.
truly i got one a long time ago since i did sports and i needed a water bottle that could handle harsh summer weather since it has amazing cold-life but as time went on i got so embarassed to bring it to certain settings because of how utterly crazy everyone elses mental state are so weak to stop consumming so much its embarassing to own something from this brand
As someone who used to work at Starbucks and lived through *several* insane cup rushes, I'm not surprised in the least. I still remember the red cup rushes, people lining up as we were coming in to get ready to open the store, same thing happened when we had these color changing cups one summer and a few halloween cups. People are actually certifiably insane when it comes to starbucks cup launches for some reason. I personally don't get it, it's a vessel to drink your water or fruit juice or soda out of and people are acting like it's the holy grail. And I say that as someone who does own a few cups, mostly because my old manager would set one aside for me when I would do signage and store displays alone.
I mean, I get the appeal of a cup that can keep drinks hot/cold for 24 hours. But I can't imagine spending $200 for one in a fancy color. The Starbucks one are plastic, aren't they? That can't hold temperature well.
Your manager contributed to employee theft. I've already filled out a complaint form through Starbucks Webline. If you want to make this easier on yourself, just tell me his name so that corporate doesn't have to look up your IP address in order to identify him. Just doing what I think is right
I don't get it either. But when i use to travel for music shows a lot 2015-2019 a few friends asked me to pickup mugs for them. The Singapore Starbucks mug from 2016 still has a reasonable price on ebay. $200 for a standly mug is insane. Walmart had them on clearance last year and nobody wanted them at $25-30.
Can’t wait to start seeing these pop up at second hand stores in a year or two /s. I see limited edition Starbucks cups (around 1-2 years old) at flea markets all the time from scalpers that didn’t get them to sell and the trend died.
Hey Charlie, Stanley that makes the tools and Stanley that makes the cups are actually two separate companies. The tool brand used to be called Stanley Works until they merged with black and decker. Now they're known as Stanley Black & Decker. The cup brand is just known as Stanley or sometimes Stanley 1913.
And they have 2 very different types of quality lol Stanley tools are total garbage and Stanley cups have been around forever and are known foe having the highest quality in the game
@Aaron-kj8dv they are not garbage. Their hand tools are actually pretty good. I probably wouldnt buy Stanley power tools though. I've used many different measuring tapes over the last 15 years of work, and the stanley fatmax is by far the best tape I've ever used.
@@Bizznatch57 fatmax is really nice, hammer and speed square and other basic tools are fine but their ratchets are complete garbage. I have never had a ratchet break (other than a 800$ electronic snap on torque wrench that they warrantied) and I use mastercraft for everything and my brother had 2 stanley ratchets break while rebuilding a H22A1 motor. He is harder on stuff than me but I would never buy a stanley socket set after seeing how they lasted for him.
people are so insane about this that my coworker at Target had their cup stolen, it wasnt even this limited edition. They just saw that it was a stanley brand cup and snatched it. insane that we had a "talk" on the walkie about labeling our cups so they wont be mistaken for product. It literally had water inside, they had to know.
I read a comment that a girl in highschool had her grandfathers old cup stolen right in front of her, hit over the head with it, and sold on facebook, absolutely disgusting
@@shinyrayquaza9 That's insane. I hope the thief that pulled that was charged with assault and theft regardless of age because some people need to face consequences before they learn. The thief knew what they were doing and there's no excuse for that kind of behavior.
I’m embarrassed to be in the demographic that this has a stranglehold on. You should see them walking around trying to hold the Stanley and their keys while shopping as some kind of flex. The asteroid can’t come soon enough.
@@kip_cyou don’t know what demographic means huh She’s part of the demographic because she’s in her mid-late 20’s.. possibly 30’s? Idk she’s wearing a lot of make up in her picture.. white, middle class, and female. Additional points for being a basic blonde
We survived a global pandemic and people still have so little going on in their lives that they'll sit outside target for a cup. I dont know whether to laugh or cry.
the key detail everyone is failing to mention about the stanley cup in the car fire is that after some time the owner was able to get any unburned/destroyed items from the fire when she got her stanley cup it had a light burn to it but the drink (ice coffee) still felt the same she said the the ice was near the exact same level as before it got caught in the fire AND had before she could even retrieve the cup. they (stanley) fixed her car, and supplied her with free stanley cups for life for the free advertising she did to her social media as a gift to praising the cup for its insulation on twitter
I actually got a Hydroflask when it was super hype because I won a school contest and I was literally completely oblivious to the status that held. I was like "oh cool a water bottle", but some people were fucking FUMING about how they lost. I never showed the bottle at school, took it home put it with my other water bottle, still have it to this day and I've used it like a dozen times. It's pretty good for insulation but I had a different one I used way more. I will never understand just how excited people were about an insulated water bottle.
i have a thermoflask i bought and those are pretty expensive but i bought it because it’s heavy and makes a good weapon when full but i dont get the hype
For those wondering, in the original video, the girl’s car caught fire, and she filmed herself going through it afterwards and the cup was not only fine, but still filled with very cold ice water. They proceeded to buy her a new car Edit: Did some research, and couldn’t find anything to suggest it was faked besides people setting their own cars on fire with cups in them, but variables may differ greatly in the cars, so it’s hard to say.
@sophiaarias9341 it feels like a genius marketing plan. Just the way she walks up to the car and already knows the ice is still in the cup. It's either marketing or even if it's real she took it out and saw there was ice and put it back, went and walked away from the car just to walk up to it and film it like it was a new thing.
As a barista, I can confirm, it was insane. I've never seen so many people lined up at my store at five am, before even the openers got there. Shit was crazy.
i have one and also a yeti. virtually the same. i like the stanley for the decorative aspects (i have a black and gold art deco cup) as yeti has, from my memory, always had plain coloring. i don’t know if they last any longer than one another, but if i were to pick it would be stanley by a small margin
My dad works at Target and he texted me a picture of people lined up outside the store in the cold in their pajamas waiting for these damn cups. The real kicker was that our Target/Starbucks is so small that they had 12. Limit 2 per person. So basically only 6 people out of the dozen or more that were waiting or wanted one once the store actually opened were SOL
I still use my Stanley from a long time ago, the 80ozer. Being able to have 2 pots of coffee with you all day was absurd, but awesome for camping with the boys or going on an outdoor trip. Now, you can’t get them, and these cups are the popular ones.
I found out about the Stanley around the time that car set on fire. Since then I’ve purchased like 6 Stanley’s. 2 for myself and the rest as gifts, and that was even before the limited edition craze. DSG is about to drop a new line and I’m thinking about getting a green one. I can always sell one of the ones I have
I work at a target starbucks and there was already a line when I got there to open the kiosk (6am... we open at 7). one lady fr brought like 5 of her family members so they could all help her buy more. what was crazy to me was that almost everyone who waited there for an hour+ was purely there for the cup like they didn't buy any drinks or food at all. I kinda felt bad for the 20ish parties that also waited an hour in the rain but didn't get anything (we only had 20 to sell and there were like 50 people in the line), but at the same time I couldn't wipe the shit-eating grin off my face looking at all of the people who went to such great lengths for a $50 cup. it just felt so silly
What is great is that the cup itself isn't actually worth that much. This cup is worth $2 before branding is added to it. The company I work at gets this exact cup for us to print on and etch for customers and it costs our company $48 per box. It's a really good cup and I have a few at home, but I will not spend THAT much money on a drinking cup.

Every couple of years, something comes out that creates a random surge of people who will fight tooth and nail for it. Supreme, PS5's, Prime, and now Stanley cups.
My partner gave me a £5.00 insulated cup on April fools day, got it from a bargain store, jokes on him though, I love it, it keeps my cold drinks cool and hot drinks warm for about 6 hours, the top half is white and fades down into a beautiful turquoise with fine holographic glitter throughout.
Stanley is a older brand. My grandparents had a Stanley thermos and I bought one in 2010. They make a lot of good gear. I only realized they were trendy when my daughter wanted one and when we got one for her birthday, she was ecstatic.
My favorite part about all these “trendy” cups is that the whole point is to have one or two and use them for years as an alternative to disposable plastic bottles…. Yet every year there’s a new trending cup that people flock to. I think it’s a really interesting show of how hyper-consumerism is so prevalent in America. The whole point is to reduce the waste we produce, but at this point it’s not much different if people are just disposing of last years’ cups.
i caved and got a hydroflask in ~2015 and that thing has been through hell and back so I usually recommend them to people but yeah, very few actually care about the utility of anything. granted thats been obvious for a while now imo
I got a Stanley for Christmas, didn't ask for it, but got it. It works well as a cup but it's not worth the money and I would never buy one myself lol. I does keep my water cold for a long time though, and I appreciate that.
are "new trending cups" seriously an annual thing? i've never heard of one until this. definitely won't get the hype though, they're nice but i'm totally content with my two yetis.
Kid sister brought it up for Christmas, first thing I thought was “flat Stanley.” Now that Black Friday is a thing of the past I have found my new passion in life
I cant tell you how many women I know fall victim to feeling they need 1000 tumblers, makeups, candles, body mists, etc... it points to much larger issues. people can say whatever excuse they want, its not normal or healthy. Financial literacy, self-awareness are much needed. stop making these CEOs rich while you barely have savings or space in your apartment.
One of my female colleagues is exactly like that. Always feeling the need to get the latest trends, always putting alarms to be first on the virtual queues to buy whatever's on trend at the moment, always talking about how she got all the seasonal Bath and Body Works candles or something like that. And always complaining about how broke she is. She made fun of me one day for using the same paper cup twice to get my coffee, saying i was acting quirky and "not like other girls". Not the case, i just hate things going to waste and people happily wasting and overconsuming. In any case, i'd prefer to be called frugal or maybe even a cheapskate, if you want. But at least i didn't go broke trying to pretend i'm rich.
Women under 35 is the economic engine of the whole country I used to work at restaurants as a server and some girls would make $1,000 a week and live with their parents or two other roommates and still be broke all the time.
I actually had no idea what Stanley cups were and when I asked my brother, he said I already owned one. Turns out, the thermal mug I got from secret santa in my speech class was one and I never bothered to check the brand
@@RGC_animation$200??? They’re maybe $45 😂. Her secret Santa likely bought one regular one and didn’t wait in line for the limited edition weeks AFTER CHRISTMAS 😂

I'm someone who also loves using tumblers and stainless steel coffee tumblers but omg, I could be er care so much about a different colored cup!!! Honestly id rather have in of those cool glittery custom ones!!
Imagine camping out for 4 hours before the shop opens and they haven't received the delivery of those cups. Like, how do they know for sure their supermarket even stocks it?
My little sister literally just explained this trend to me last night, what crazy timing. Had literally zero idea what a Stanley cup was beforehand, and have absolutely zero desire to get one for myself. Look I get it, an insulated cup to hold your beverages with a straw and handle, cool that's great sweetie. You do you, but you've got way too much disposable income to drop 200 dollars on a cup, let alone buy 20+ of them in different colors. What ever happened to just buying a single object in your favorite color and rolling with that? My heart goes out to all the poor Target employees who have to deal with this madness.
consumerism to fill the guilt of knowing what your country is doing internationally. others tend to prefer conspiracy theories to fill the guilt though
I remember five years ago when hydro flasks were the big water drinking status symbol 😅 I get it but i also can’t fathom spending the amount of money on CUPS that some people have when there’s way smarter and even cooler things to spend your money on
I'm an old, and long ago Stanley Cups were the cup inside of steel blue collar lunch boxes made by Stanley - they were for Coffee or soup. And the hard working people that used these would laugh heartily to hear about how much they cost, and how people are standing in line for them. The ones I remember were plaid. LOL
I'm quite young (18) and this was my impression of them as well. My dad worked blue collar jobs, and would keep one in his lunch box. We would also bring it with us when camping.
I have a nice ugly olive green thermos lol That bad boy is so dependable. I put hot tap water in it at like 8 pm to test it and 8 pm the next day it was Luke warm.
I’ve never felt better about not owning a product
Stanley Cup is good, though, i've had it for years, and it keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for 10 hours, even though its been heavily abused it still works
@@slightlytoxic069It might be good but you have to consider the utility. It keeps drinks hot for 10 hours but I dont drink from a cup for 10 hours, I drink it when im thirsty and that usually means emptying the cup in one sitting.
Its durable, but unless you're going camping, hiking, rock climbing: its not going to be experiencing intense activity that necessitates extreme durability.
The marketing points are valid and for some people that means useful, but the average person buying these isnt doing all those things on a remotely frequent enough basis to matter. It would be like you trying to sell me a top of the line computer based on its operating specs: It has RGB output, 1080HDMI, AVG, WBI, 3000BTUs, Intel Acelleron processing, RTX, etc etc. and from your perspective as someone who knows what these things mean/be able to utilize these things you might genuinely feel its great: but im just using a computer to look at memes and sometimes play Stardew Valley.
I dont need all the bells and whistles just for the sake of their being bells and whistles.
This is where the pride in not having one comes in - you see people going ape over a cup and you're thinking "it's a cup? Whats the big deal?". People can try to convince you its this new amazing thing but the reality is: its a cup. Its a fancy cup, a durable cup, a useful cup: but it's still just a cup. It holds liquid. People are flocking and creating/chasing status around: a cup.
@@slightlytoxic069I’ve bought $10-$15 generic bottles where I’ve had ice in all day, gone to sleep for the night, and still had ice cubes in the morning. This is nothing new and merely a brand fad that will move along soon enough

@@slightlytoxic069there’s way better cups for less than $30-50 😭
I work at target and I can't put in words the disdain I felt pulling up for work at 650 am seeing legitimately 40+ people waiting for a fucking cup, mere weeks after Christmas.

stanley is a good insulated cup, but so are the tumblers from yeti, igloo, hydroflask, iron flask etc. stanley just happens to be the trendy cup right now. give it a year and everyone will move on to the next insulated beverage vessel lol
I'm going to be cutting edge when the No Name Brand insulated cups from Big Lots become a fad.
@@derkeheath5172 whoa easy there ya damn hipster 😂
My yeti cup is awesome
@@kiradynrhiode2231 same! I've had a 32oz yeti tumbler bottle for like 4 years and I love it. keeps my water cold, and I decorated it with hella stickers. I even got it laser engraved 😁 and all for like half the price of these stanleys. I have a 20oz one for coffee too and it keeps it perfectly hot
Ok but facts! I have always had a hydro flask and they actually have SALES.. tf I look like paying 50 plus for a cup pfft
One of the weirdest parts to me is that they're reusable in order to reduce waste but people are trying to collect the new releases. Why?? You already have a reusable cup??
like shoes tho
@@sussysimonbut shoes get damaged over time. I don’t see how a metal cup would get damaged over time with normal use.
wrd i love the design so i got an iceflow 2 years ago, its more convenient than the popular design but it was 36 pounds, still i never got another like it took so long to find the cheapest ones😭
To collect them and have different designs, it's not that weird
@@juanfernando4686that’s excessive imo but I guess some people like to collect. I don’t see why any regular person would need more than three water bottles, though
$50s for the cup is already absurd to me, but buying it for $200 resale is down right insane.
Yes Charlie and you just jealous because you weren’t clever enough to think about reselling these
I got one of these ON CLEARANCE at Walmart like 6 months ago. Got it in a whim because I wanted something 40oz. Now I hate this cursed object- but can’t get rid of it because it has my frog sticker collection on it.
@@MrUssy101 keep it a buck, there's absolutely nothing clever about reselling and there never will be. it's the most simple-minded and common way of making profit off of something limited edition lol
@@MrUssy101bro what lol we’re just confused because a pink cup literally has people on a chokehold for no apparent reason
@@MrUssy101lmaooo what? Even if you got and sold 3 that’s only $450 profit that’s like a one time thing. That’s not a lot of money and not consistent 😂
I bought a stanley cup a year ago on clearance for 15 bucks and its always worked amazing for hot and cold drinks but i never knew that i was in possession of such a rare artifact, now i fear for my families safety
Nah yours is probably still worth that $15 or less. The only Stanley cups that are valued are the limited edition ones.
There are so many insulated cups out there now that will keep a drink cold and the ice intact for 24 hours. That's nothing new.
It's well worth the investment of $20 for a cup that does that.
The fact that Stanley was smart enough to buy the person a car because of the viral marketing that was already happening shows real intelligence in that company!
People standing in line for hours to get a mug that they can resell for up to $200 or more? That's not a surprise at all especially when you can buy two!
I'm sure a lot of the people buying that online for $200 are probably rich women that couldn't be bothered standing in line or looking for it, but want their friends to see it when they're coming out of their pilates class that they take every day because they have no real jobs because they married into money.
(Was that a run-on sentence? I would know, I couldn't afford college.) 🤔
It’s because it’s pink and sparkly
Why did you post this? Now they are coming.
I love my huge Contigo mug I got from my grandma a few years ago. I can put ice in it and more than 8 hours later it still hasn't melted it's so nice
Every day I become more and more grateful that I live under a rock. It makes my skin crawl to see stuff like this. I'm usually very much a "do what you want as long as you're not hurting anyone" sort of person, but just something about the insatiable desire to have THINGS, any thing, all the things, continuously and mindlessly consume things that happen to be trending online is repulsive to me.
This.
REAL!
Seriously, I love being under my rock sometimes just watching the chaos when I notice it.
My favorite part is that I get to wake up and see some crazy drama that happened 2 months ago so I get all possible perspectives
I lived under my rock so long that I didn’t know who amber heard was and that Johnny was married to her, glad he got away.
You have to admit that the cup marketing machine was on another level. First it was tumbler, then hydro flask, and now Stanley (skipping quite a few fads in-between). It feels like every few months my sister comes home with a new cup fad which then gets my dad and younger sister to switch brands.
I think it kind of defeats the purpose to constantly update a metal cup that is advertised as “reducing waste” if you swap brands every few years. The one upside is that I now have 5 hydro flasks to keep my water cold that I can fill up and leave in my trunk if I’m ever doing outdoor work or workouts.
Also my older sister jokes around with my younger sister about owning a fake Stanley-like cup and it bothers her to no end. (13 year age gap)
Sounds like you have a really stupid famiy.
@@user-te2zq6tb9kShocker: Families do stupid things. The stupid things are what keeps life fun though; not everything is or should be serious.
People are so far up their asses all the time they can't stop and appreciate that family is supposed to be happy and casual and not always make the most sense in how they interact with one another.
Out of all the things you ponder on our consumption in this horrible country, a metal cup it what you choose to bitch about? Not like there’s literal children mining cobalt
I have an older sister obsessed with collecting lululemon water bottles and a younger sister obsessed with stanley cups
The marketing manager of Stanley must be really proud for making it so that even changing the color of their cup and calling it limited edition can drive people crazy.
He did the same for crocs so this is his thing. Supreme was clearly his inspiration
The funny thing is that there’s already pink Stanley cups (I have female friends who’ve had pink ones for months now), so literally nothing other than this being a “collab” with Starbucks makes this remotely anything special.
genius really
Theres a video that went viral on tiktok where this lady's car burned down and the next day the only thing that survived was the stanley cup. The water inside was still icy cold. Stanley director saw it and thought it was cool so they offered to give the lady a new car. Im pretty sure this is why people are going crazy over this bottle.
well that isn't really a unique marketing strategy by any stretch of the imagination.. Car manufacturers have done that exact thing for years
I have a friend who worked at a target who lost her job because she bought one after it had been on the floor for awhile, while she was on break at full price. Only nobody had bothered to tell the employees tickets for them had been handed out to customers and this particular Karen demanded her to be fired even though my friend brought back the cup because it was just a miscommunication. The kind of diseased soul who would demand someone's lively hood be taken over a cup is appalling, not to mention the way target threw one of their employees under the bus for this lady. Having worked there I'm pretty sure they would let customers hunt employees for sport if it meant a positive Google review.
It's Target, so why should she care that she lost her job? She could probably make what she'd make in a month at Target by selling the cup that she bought.
I've never heard of a soul being referred to as Diseased 😂 I like it
Wtf, if tickets for the cups were handed to customers, the cups shouldn’t have been on the floor - an item being out on the floor is fair game for everyone. I hope your friend found a better job, and one that actually informs their employees of things like that
@@Zenigundamcompletely missing the point, wow. Finding a job can take weeks. That could be weeks without feeding her children. Use your brain, I’m begging you
@@ZenigundamTell me you don’t live in the real world without telling you don’t live in the real world! Target pays a lot more than $200 in a month even if it’s like 30 hours a week, plus it’s hard to find another job when you got fired from your last one.
The car fire thing is actually kinda crazy. This lady's car was completely destroyed, burnt to a crisp, but the Stanley cup she had in the cup holder was unscathed, AND the ice inside was still frozen! So Stanley bought her a new car and gave her a bunch of free cups. It's like the holy grail of accidental marketing 😅
Definitely not accidental
did they buy her the same car or a newer one? lol
The cup barely got touched by the flames, which is why there's only a little bit of soot on it, and the plastic straw in it was untouched. Had the car actually "burnt to a crisp", there would be no cup holder to begin with, just a pile of scrap metal.
Good thing the company is actually decent, considering that people are more willing to blindly believe that the cup is made of super-vibrainum that magically survived the fires of hell than to see for themselves that it's a generic stainless steel cup that just kinda sat next to an open flame.
i saw the car fire remains. it wasn’t exactly burnt up, but it was pretty bad. i guess no car fire is a good car fire though lol
its already been confirmed that the video/image was fake
Hello Charlie, I don't know if you heard but a girl at a school in Memphis (where i live) got her head caved in with a Stanley Cup. The high school is Houston High School. The girl luckily survived but now has permanent brain damaged. The other girl is being charged with attempted murder, and awaiting trial.
Stop 😭 it was such a big talk for a week at my school that even my teachers would reference the fight and edit of the fight as a joke ☠️
WHAT
Jfc.
I bet the cup didnt have a single dent and the drink was still warm after too.
_Buy Stanley. Convert to Stanley_

I'm convinced that companies plant fake fans out there to generate all of the hype for their products. They'll pay people to go nuts on camera for their product. It's like that animated movie a little while back where they made a video of people cheering in the theater for the little plant guy. They'll pay people to act candidly excited, which makes everyone think their product is a big deal, which makes people who care about being a big deal flock to the stores for them
They're called "social media influencers" the bane of our time
Monkey see, monkey do.
These people called 'sheep' for a reason.
youd think but as someone who has worked retail, people are actually much stupider then you think they can be.
This will be a case study in MBA marketing classes for years. Stanley has gone from the boring green thermos every dad/grandpa had to people duking it out in stores to get one of their cups. And with Yeti, Orca, Rtic, etc. cups already saturating the market they've managed to squeeze almost $1B out of these goobers selling them something they already have at home.
Now I'm just imagining a JoJo style fight breaking out over these lol

Insulated cups are designed to take a beating, aren't they? It shouldn't matter if it's dented, scuffed, or the color is off.
People are so pathetic sometimes.
I remember getting really confused hearing about the Stanley cup because I was actually thinking that NHL had some sort of product launch. So weird shock for sure.
Seeing a Starbucks boycott (that was literally working mind you) thrown away over a cup is the ultimate example of how we as “the people” will never achieve anything ever lmao.
It's still going strong, these are the people that weren't following the boycott to begin with (fuck them) that are buying these overpriced shitty recolors.
But yeah, we the people won't really achieve much with people like THAT around. Consumerism brainrot. People are so hellbent on financing genocide that they can't not buy overpriced shit coffee or overpriced recolor mugs, lmao.
I know, it’s pathetic
Honestly the boycott is still working, the only people who lined up for the cup are people who just don't care about the boycott.
Starbucks is advertising more than ever because they know the boycott is working, and the Stanley collaboration is just more advertising. Starbucks used to be known as a company that never advertised, because they didn't need to. But then Starbucks realized that they're actually losing money, and they could've gone the normal route and just stopped supporting genocide and stopped their union busting, but nah, they're just advertising their horrible coffee more.
I feel your rage, but I also think these are two different demographics, unfortunately.
@@NeoNovastar fr! these starbucks obsessed ppl with stanleys are the same people who were obsessed with hydroflasks. they have been around unfortunately.
0:33 The Stanley bottles and Stanely Black & Decker are 2 different companies. They aren't the same and are owned by 2 different organizations. Stanley Black & Decker was founded in 1843 and are owned by themselves, while Stanley cups was founded in 1913 and are owned by Pacific Market International.
Was surprised I had to scroll this far to find this comment
The fact that Charlie thinks so highly of his pal Matt that it was a reasonable assumption for him to assume he must be calling it “the Stanley cup” simply because it Matt’s cup is so wholesome.
It’s crazy, my grandfather had a Stanley thermos back when they still made the inside with glass. He would take his coffee in that thermos working in the loading docks at the Winchester factory and his coffee would be hot all day long. Stanley has been a name in the industry for 100 years, plus being a name in many other markets for that long. I don’t understand why this is happening, but good for them to become a thing for the “new generation”
I mean there are a lot of cups that can hold liquids hot/cold 😂 my yeti that Ive had for 5+ years, fell asleep at the beach and 2 hrs later still had ice in it. Pick your battles bro 🤷♂️
its fucking cups it aint that deep
What sucks is this will blow up their stock price, then investors will say "do it again" and they cant. So they will have to cut quality
the thermoses are great. i got a hammered green (for nostalgia? idk), and later one of the rad colors they put out. like a fluorescent red. still no regrets, it's awesome.
dude I got like knockoff who knows what chinese thermos cup and it works more than enough, shit was like 15 bucks or something.
funniest part is that we sold all of ours weeks before the “release day”. everyone was pissed. when they came in but we had no idea it had a street date. i work at a starbucks in target and this is so real. we had someone offer us $100 to just BUY the cup.

How did y'all have no idea that they were street dated? The registers literally comes up with "unable to sell" or w/e. I don't know if the starbucks cups and/or registers are different but on the regular ones they couldn't to be sold. In our store we had employee's accidentally putting the red ones out and our guest services kept calling the VM/home TLs that they need to be pulled. (they were taking the cups from the guests so they were sick of doing damage control). So if they went around that to sell them you've got some pretty uninformed coworkers and I'm surprised your front end TLs/ETL and the SD were okay with that.
The hell be wrong with folks and these products, seriously?
i went for my sister cause she was working, she paid me extra and bought me alcohol for getting her the cup. There were a lot of parents and grandparents very confused buying cups for their children. There was also a young boy like 16 years old who started pushing a bunch of old people yelling “don’t stand in front of a moving train. i am a moving train” to get the cup. Bro didn’t get his cup.
This reminds of the toilet paper craze during 2020 😂
I think it was when some girl found her still functional Stanley cup in her car after it had caught fire. The cup was in good condition and the liquid inside was still cold but the car was beyond repair. The CEO of Stanley saw the video and sent her a brand new car, and the ensuing support people had for Stanley was enough to bring about this new craze.
Yeah that girl basically gave them free marketing with that initial video.

I remember that when I got in for my target shift and I didn’t know about the new Stanley cups, I get told that I’m in charge of packing for deliveries and then I see an ungodly amount of cups that we sold out before we even unpacked
Back when I worked in retail last year we sold those cups. This was during the holiday rush and those cups was the stores biggest seller. It got so big we had to limit selling a max of eight cups per costumer per day. I later learned most of the purchases were for resale on ebay for more than double the price.
As a Starbucks partner (yes that's what they call their employees to make us feel better about being one), Starbucks CUSTOMERS are definitely a different breed. We have people who come in solely to gather a collection of plastic you can sip out of, and not just the Stanley brand; even the normal Starbucks branded ones that got no love from the video.
I ask customers directly "how many do you have?" and a fair bit do tell me how much as well as the time-frame of how long they've been collecting. The normal Starbucks cups usually cost around $20~ dollars, but the Stanley branded ones are TWICE that, totaling around $56~ with tax.
Do feel bad for the Target employees that have to deal with those types of customers. They usually get the more generic merchandise compared to the Drive-Thru, non-licensed stores.
At least the Starbucks cups are usually pretty.
@@blujaebird that's a weird take. how many you got?
Can vouch that the customers are surreal: I worked at one of the Starbucks in the downtown of my city as an opener, but I one particular day I was in a little later. When I walked in, my manager was furious because she literally had to lock the store down to get paramedics in, because people were stepping over a man collapsed in front of the register to order their coffee. People are deranged.
They are called partners because they give you stock in the company when you work there long enough. Every like, half a year or so you get more vested stock, so you are technically a stock partner of the company
I was actually talking about this yesterday 😂 absolutely true
Consumerism never fails to shock me. The public will randomly decide something is trendy and then go feral over it. TikTok seems to have made this even worse, with how viral something can go overnight.
For real, same here. Remember when people were going to Disney World and waiting in line for hours at Epcot to buy a Figment popcorn bucket? And then they went for resale online for actual hundreds of dollars
It's so ironic that tiktok users call people NPCs then behave like this, a mass flock of people buying shit because they saw that it's popular and to get into the crowd... legitimate behavior of an NPC in a game
@@Holyblackmage246or years ago during the lockdown where people made up a short of water and TP but there wasnt but because people kept buying it in large quantities it made an artificial short of those items
I have a Contigo thermos. The thing has a real nice and sturdy handle, full pressure sealing with no leaks. Keeps drinks cold for a day.
I have a cup from a company called Simply Modern that I bought for from Amazon. It's $23.99 and blows Stanley out of the water. By far the best cup I've owned.
i work at a target starbucks and was there for open on release day. the actual sale part went well as we had 2 team leads helping direct everyone in an orderly manner, but the amount of people asking over and over if we had the stanley cup started driving us insane. we STILL get asked about it at least five times a day. another crazy thing was this couple who had been camping outside the door brought their newborn baby and had it laying on a blanket on the ground for HOURS in 20 degree weather… they didn’t even end up buying a cup
I got so tired of people asking that I made a makeshift "SOLD OUT OF STANLEY CUPS" sign to hang at the register and that *almost* completely eradicated the questions for a good 5 hours, BUT THEN OUR TL TOOK THE SIGN DOWN AND LEGIT EVERY 10 MINUTES A NEW PERSON WOULD COME TO ASK ABOUT THE CUPS😭 like if yall are that serious about stanleys you should know that we definitely do have have any left at 5pm bruh

Her response was " that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, its just a different color" and I couldnt agree more.
My 1978 Honda Civic has Stanley made rear lights... Apparently they made lights back in the day for Honda and Datsun.
It's funny, I'd kinda heard about the Stanley cup surviving a fire and them getting her a car, and over the last couple of days tangentially heard references to Stanley cups being really popular but it took that chatter mentioning the fire incident to actually make me connect the two and realise that's why the popularity exploded.

As someone who used to work at Starbucks and lived through *several* insane cup rushes, I'm not surprised in the least. I still remember the red cup rushes, people lining up as we were coming in to get ready to open the store, same thing happened when we had these color changing cups one summer and a few halloween cups. People are actually certifiably insane when it comes to starbucks cup launches for some reason. I personally don't get it, it's a vessel to drink your water or fruit juice or soda out of and people are acting like it's the holy grail. And I say that as someone who does own a few cups, mostly because my old manager would set one aside for me when I would do signage and store displays alone.
I mean, I get the appeal of a cup that can keep drinks hot/cold for 24 hours. But I can't imagine spending $200 for one in a fancy color. The Starbucks one are plastic, aren't they? That can't hold temperature well.
Your manager contributed to employee theft. I've already filled out a complaint form through Starbucks Webline. If you want to make this easier on yourself, just tell me his name so that corporate doesn't have to look up your IP address in order to identify him. Just doing what I think is right
I don't get it either. But when i use to travel for music shows a lot 2015-2019 a few friends asked me to pickup mugs for them. The Singapore Starbucks mug from 2016 still has a reasonable price on ebay. $200 for a standly mug is insane. Walmart had them on clearance last year and nobody wanted them at $25-30.

the key detail everyone is failing to mention about the stanley cup in the car fire is that after some time the owner was able to get any unburned/destroyed items from the fire when she got her stanley cup it had a light burn to it but the drink (ice coffee) still felt the same she said the the ice was near the exact same level as before it got caught in the fire AND had before she could even retrieve the cup. they (stanley) fixed her car, and supplied her with free stanley cups for life for the free advertising she did to her social media as a gift to praising the cup for its insulation on twitter
I knew I had seen these cups before - in the insane WaterTok videos I've seen a couple of months back
I actually got a Hydroflask when it was super hype because I won a school contest and I was literally completely oblivious to the status that held. I was like "oh cool a water bottle", but some people were fucking FUMING about how they lost. I never showed the bottle at school, took it home put it with my other water bottle, still have it to this day and I've used it like a dozen times. It's pretty good for insulation but I had a different one I used way more. I will never understand just how excited people were about an insulated water bottle.
where you able to drink from the fountain of youth
i have a thermoflask i bought and those are pretty expensive but i bought it because it’s heavy and makes a good weapon when full but i dont get the hype
Like charlie said its teenage girls and FOMO adults lol
For those wondering, in the original video, the girl’s car caught fire, and she filmed herself going through it afterwards and the cup was not only fine, but still filled with very cold ice water. They proceeded to buy her a new car
Edit: Did some research, and couldn’t find anything to suggest it was faked besides people setting their own cars on fire with cups in them, but variables may differ greatly in the cars, so it’s hard to say.

it’s so annoying when you own something before it’s popular, and then it becomes huge and you have a hard time finding a product you’ve used for years
Felt that
My dad works at Target and he texted me a picture of people lined up outside the store in the cold in their pajamas waiting for these damn cups. The real kicker was that our Target/Starbucks is so small that they had 12. Limit 2 per person. So basically only 6 people out of the dozen or more that were waiting or wanted one once the store actually opened were SOL
That's hilarious. Hope they only give 12 to every store.
The thing that made Stanley cup viral is not only that it survived car fire, but that there was still ice in the drink after that fire
is it a legend or a real story

I still use my Stanley from a long time ago, the 80ozer. Being able to have 2 pots of coffee with you all day was absurd, but awesome for camping with the boys or going on an outdoor trip. Now, you can’t get them, and these cups are the popular ones.
I found out about the Stanley around the time that car set on fire. Since then I’ve purchased like 6 Stanley’s. 2 for myself and the rest as gifts, and that was even before the limited edition craze. DSG is about to drop a new line and I’m thinking about getting a green one. I can always sell one of the ones I have
I work at a target starbucks and there was already a line when I got there to open the kiosk (6am... we open at 7). one lady fr brought like 5 of her family members so they could all help her buy more. what was crazy to me was that almost everyone who waited there for an hour+ was purely there for the cup like they didn't buy any drinks or food at all. I kinda felt bad for the 20ish parties that also waited an hour in the rain but didn't get anything (we only had 20 to sell and there were like 50 people in the line), but at the same time I couldn't wipe the shit-eating grin off my face looking at all of the people who went to such great lengths for a $50 cup. it just felt so silly

What is great is that the cup itself isn't actually worth that much. This cup is worth $2 before branding is added to it. The company I work at gets this exact cup for us to print on and etch for customers and it costs our company $48 per box. It's a really good cup and I have a few at home, but I will not spend THAT much money on a drinking cup.

My favorite part about all these “trendy” cups is that the whole point is to have one or two and use them for years as an alternative to disposable plastic bottles…. Yet every year there’s a new trending cup that people flock to. I think it’s a really interesting show of how hyper-consumerism is so prevalent in America. The whole point is to reduce the waste we produce, but at this point it’s not much different if people are just disposing of last years’ cups.

I cant tell you how many women I know fall victim to feeling they need 1000 tumblers, makeups, candles, body mists, etc... it points to much larger issues. people can say whatever excuse they want, its not normal or healthy. Financial literacy, self-awareness are much needed. stop making these CEOs rich while you barely have savings or space in your apartment.
One of my female colleagues is exactly like that. Always feeling the need to get the latest trends, always putting alarms to be first on the virtual queues to buy whatever's on trend at the moment, always talking about how she got all the seasonal Bath and Body Works candles or something like that. And always complaining about how broke she is.
She made fun of me one day for using the same paper cup twice to get my coffee, saying i was acting quirky and "not like other girls". Not the case, i just hate things going to waste and people happily wasting and overconsuming. In any case, i'd prefer to be called frugal or maybe even a cheapskate, if you want. But at least i didn't go broke trying to pretend i'm rich.

A freaking cup would be the last thing I'd be concerned about surviving a fire
The Cabbage Patch Kids swarm came back around for a second course.
I'm someone who also loves using tumblers and stainless steel coffee tumblers but omg, I could be er care so much about a different colored cup!!! Honestly id rather have in of those cool glittery custom ones!!
Imagine camping out for 4 hours before the shop opens and they haven't received the delivery of those cups.
Like, how do they know for sure their supermarket even stocks it?
I work at dicks sporting goods and they call us relentlessly throughout the day. 😭
It would have been great if they just didn't stock them on purpose so these people would fk off
My little sister literally just explained this trend to me last night, what crazy timing. Had literally zero idea what a Stanley cup was beforehand, and have absolutely zero desire to get one for myself. Look I get it, an insulated cup to hold your beverages with a straw and handle, cool that's great sweetie. You do you, but you've got way too much disposable income to drop 200 dollars on a cup, let alone buy 20+ of them in different colors. What ever happened to just buying a single object in your favorite color and rolling with that? My heart goes out to all the poor Target employees who have to deal with this madness.
consumerism to fill the guilt of knowing what your country is doing internationally. others tend to prefer conspiracy theories to fill the guilt though
I remember five years ago when hydro flasks were the big water drinking status symbol 😅 I get it but i also can’t fathom spending the amount of money on CUPS that some people have when there’s way smarter and even cooler things to spend your money on
all that just for the cup to end up collecting dust next to the hydro flask
Legit I almost died trying to put the valentines ones on shelves
I'm an old, and long ago Stanley Cups were the cup inside of steel blue collar lunch boxes made by Stanley - they were for Coffee or soup. And the hard working people that used these would laugh heartily to hear about how much they cost, and how people are standing in line for them. The ones I remember were plaid. LOL
this was the comment i was looking for. meant for the soups, out on the jobs with no microwaves
i’m also an old, and am happy to see this comment! my dad used Stanley cups for coffee inside his lunch box, he was a mechanic.
I'm quite young (18) and this was my impression of them as well. My dad worked blue collar jobs, and would keep one in his lunch box. We would also bring it with us when camping.
@@tangelite9968 no, he didn't need to - why do you ask? 😅
I have a nice ugly olive green thermos lol
That bad boy is so dependable. I put hot tap water in it at like 8 pm to test it and 8 pm the next day it was Luke warm.
