The Stanley Cup Craze 

👍

hip hip hoorays

woo! :D

Yayy

That's how I feel about black Friday too, but I can understand wanting cheap things in this economy. I don't get 60 dollar water bottles from Starbucks no fucking less like can we please not give money to them

Ngl, it scares me

It will for sure spawn a Southpark episode. Those guys are so lucky the world basically turned into their parody.

Whenever I go to school, I always find them, in my classroom, in the desk, in the bathroom, in the vents, in the water supply, in the cafeteria, in the plants, in the lights, in the whiteboards, in the speakers, in the alarms. there everywhere.

It's so stereotypically american as well

Tbf that’s me. I don’t keep up with trends and only learned about how crazy this was like…yesterday. I knew they were popular, but like the same popular as owala. Had no idea people are fucking racing each other to collect a cup.

I'm just glad we don't have targets. I don't think I've seen a single Stanley cup irl either xd

i didn’t know about that cup and when i saw the video where they’re all running i was so confused

That would've been horrifying 😂

@@scylla5867 I didn’t even now about it until after it happened. Imagine you just show up to target early to get some milk cause you don’t like crowded spaces and you walk in on…. That…..

Tbh they look ugly as hell to me. Like a weirdly shaped thermos with a mug handle.

@@Evanz111 that's literally what it is lmfao Hit the nail right on the head

They look like sippy cups but like ugly. At least sippy cups have cute little designs on them and actually serve a purpose! Thats not to say theye cups cant serve a purpose, but nobody needs so many of them.

when I first saw an influencer praising this cup a couple months ago my first thought was that it's ugly... then I saw more and more influencers loving it but I still don't understand why do people want an ugly cup lol

and they're also so ridculously large

FR

I was started laughing so hard xD I almost forgot this existed 😂

that rowley diary of a wimpy kid gif

Was that a crappy référence?

@@etienne8110a shitty reference one might say

good one

frfr(I'm literally Stanley irl)

i think there's a game where someone collects Stanley cups over and over. But idk, never played it before.

NOOOO I WAS GONNA SAY THIS 😭

I just imagine the bonus level in life where you have to listen to someone talk about their stanley cup for four hours on end.

0:33 W T A F Q_Q

Like that’s the WHOLE POINT and they still out here getting hundreds 😭

Oh and don't worry, they'll all be in a goodwill or a landfill next year when the next big thing comes out. Bet.

When you live under capitalism and have to spend most of your waking hours exchanging your labor for the means of survival, it doesn't leave a lot of time to build ties with a community and people then need to tie their identities to the things they consume. It's a shitty situation for peoole to be in, but works great for capitalists. All I can say is thank god the USSR fell; can you imagine what kind of world we would live in if the communists had won and we only had to work 20 hours a week to meet the needs of our communities? What would we do with all that extra spare time, and how could we get people to waste money on stupid crap?!?

​@justinwatson1510 as an Albanian, this is so funny. If you said this to anyone who actually experienced Communism, they would laugh

Fr I hate it when I drop my Yeti and accidentally liquify everyone in the room smh

YEP

yeah that's because they're hot pink colour.

@@LeastInsaneUtsu-PFan big ol pet peeve of mine

I sit in front of a girl who drops her stanley constantly, I cant be rude about it because she's nice person and REUSES her stanley, which is what stanleys are for THEY ARE REUSEABLE

what i thought was cool when i was twelve was rocks, and i had the same plastic thermos for seven years that was begging to be thrown away

Try to bond with her with her interests not yours

@karinalumen9722 while this is good parenting advice. It should go without saying that we shouldn't be encouraging our kids to develop a hyperfixation with a water bottle that comes with a risk of lead exposure.

@@Lin_The_Cat_ well i mean a hyperfixation is fine just a healthy hyperfixation

This comment was heartbreaking.

I'm confused to the entertainment value of it. Why would I want to watch a family get their cups ready to drink or snack on? Who watches this crap?

@@UP4NONE agreed, who even watches this kind of stuff??

@@UP4NONEPeople will watch anything nowadays just because it is appealing to the eye. I mean haven’t you seen the videos of girls with acrylic nails and their hoodies in Ariana grenade style that purchase PACKAGED products to then transfer them to boxes? 💀 and they mean that shit wholeheartedly

@@UP4NONEprobably the same folks who want to see everyone’s breakfast, lunch and dinner picture on Facebook every single day for a lifetime or till you give up on Facebook😂jk but I gave up on Facebook when my FarmVille farm died, ‘FarmVille or Bust!’ Is my eternal jokey motto😂

@@UP4NONE very young children who have been given iPhones and iPads by irresponsible parents and left to scroll on TikTok, becoming more dumb instead of smarter. It’s literally “oooh pretty colours i buy now” for candy, Stanley cups, vapes, TikTok shop, consumerist trends, etc. I work at a petrol station and the amount of adults I get going “watermelon rainbow pink vape 😲😲😲 take £15!” Is so irritating. The fact kids are buying them to be ‘cool’ when they’re literally marketed to catch the attention of babies (obviously not for babies, but the same level of attention span). sorry for the rant lmao

The husband looks like he wants to perish like

😳❓

lol true. out of plastic water bottles. i can't.

For real, it looked like something you’d see in an episode of Black Mirror

It feels cultish in a way

it’s the same thing with the phone wallets

@@kphoria1009except those are actually handy for some people

Not really i think, the wallet and purse can be used while hands free and the purse is atached top you so its harder to pull, the thing with the cup is you will need to put It down each 10 minutes

Seriously. How many times have you lost a water bottle vs. anything else while out in public?

maybe even your car lmao

It was an inevitability. The old Stanley cups that were boring, functional, amazing drink vessels for hot and cold beverages that you only needed one of because they last forever were designed for a limited market. And by limited, I mean everyone only needs one. In order to keep making money after everyone has a Stanley, they need to sell to people who've already bought one. And the only way to do that is rampant consumerism by making everything the same, but with limited edition colors! Fun fact, this actually already happened with cars in the early days before they started using planned obsolescence. Once everyone had a car that worked and could be maintained forever, (I think it was Ford) realized they could get people to throw out their old car that worked perfectly and buy a new one if the company painted them in limited edition colors before selling. So this isn't even new.

@@generalcodsworth4417 lol old cars (especially fords) had a reliability measured in services per mile. Old cars weren't pinnacles of engineering. The 'planned obsolescence' cars that people complain about are usually just more modern cars. It use to be Toyotas in the 80s (you never see those anymore), Yugos in the 70s (communism more like consumerism). The issue with more modern cars (think 90s onwards) is that electronically controlled and regulated systems require more specialist parts and knowledge which makes them ever harder/impossible for the end user to maintain, but come with neat real-world benefits like fuel economy and not producing noxious gasses. What's more relevant to cars is "perceived obsolescence" where the car's key components (engine, powertrain etc) are functionally more or less the same, however differences in body work and aesthetic design result in a product which seems newer and prompts the turnover. I'd argue Audis of all the car brands are the worst offenders here, you can very often get Audis on the bodywork change that are drastically cheaper (even as high as 30%) even though the dealers know they're selling the same car just because the body is different.

FR LIKE- ITS DESTROYING THE WHOLE POINT OF A RESUSABLE WATER BOTTLE 😭😭

Exactly the company's goal was clear from the start, hypocrites, customers & company.

Oh but you see, this one gives you lead poisoning. So it’s completely different from other cups. Everyone goes crazy for the lead water

It's about sales and no consumer is more gullible than young white women

fr

and also „sustainability? never heard of it”

Basically a scream of help "i have stupid amounts of money and suffering from it" Even if it's just the only 60$ they managed to save per month

All these sheep are using credit. They can't afford 30+ cups. lol

@@BMchangewas just about to say this. America runs on debt lol

There's no disposable income

I mean, it's not the first time working class things became popular. jeans for example

Lmaoo same I was so confused???

ME TOO

My American mom said the same thing...."like the hockey cup"

no same like im american but i was like "pookie the hockey trophy???"

RIGHT LMFAO

literally.. its not even about the collecting as a hobby.. it's about showing off their collection of something popular to collect.. theyre literally so effing boring & so overpriced - i would be embarrassed to participate in this trend.. it's literally admitting you have no real individuality.. showing off your inability to develop something uniquely, personally sentimental as a just shows off how boring they must be

no cause collecting stamps has always been portrayed as boring BUT THAT SHIT IS REAL if u dont find every stamp u cant get that stamp back they only make so many and most of them get used and thrown away. Stanley cups on the other hand all look the same and will choke the earth until the end

Yeah because I collect CDs but I ACTUALLY listen to them

Its kinda the same shit though

as a doll collector, these ppl disappoint me deeply

Ur Lucky

Don’t worry, only 100% of us are extremely stupid in some way

Never heard of Tulip mania in 1630s where of bunch of Dutch people were over obsessing about tulips you should look into it

This. Exactly this! It feels like smth straight outa a dystopian

Fr. Here in Italy the few "American Target" there are filled with Stanley cups and no one cares about them, while overseas people are committing crimes to get one.

You should still use it regardless. You know the truth, and that’s all that matters. People will stereotype you no matter what you do anyhow lol

Not using a reusable item you have because it’s popular is just as dumb as using it because it’s popular. Just use the product if you like it/its useful to you lmao.

I have a dupe my mom got me for Christmas because my tumbler had a crack in it. I love it because it's 40 oz and still fits in my cupholder. That's it. Mom said Buccheits had it on sale for $9.

yeah that’s actually so fair i would do the same. people treating you differently because of a water bottle is so ridiculous

all these comments are super confusing to me, but yours win the timbale

you deserve way more likes

@@oxyty thank you

And I’m pretty sure it broke 😭🤣

As a Marvel enjoyer i agree

You need more likes.

I hate Stanley’s but Lightning McQueen ??😀 Are you sure he said that based on his content. I don’t think like him could be smart

Glad I wasn't the only one. Esp3cially when a quick glimpse showed it being pink, like what did you monsters do to it? Oh wrong cup, nevermind, carry on

@@thethe4665 Well, no matter what it will happen I think

I recrntly saw Stanley Cups at our local SM. I didn't bother to check the price but knowing SM, the markup would be ridiculous. 😅

I have an aquaflask too! Although ₱750 is really expensive for a bottle, I think its insulating properties and durabilities definitely add to the cost, and Aquaflask is much more affordable if you compare to Stanley's and Hydroflasks that cost about ₱2,000+

Bc of how hot it is in the Philippines rn, I think I made the right choice purchasing my aquaflask bc it keeps my drinks nice and chilly, esp when I'm at campus the whole day! (I'm a college student). You should invest in things of great quality bc they last you a long time and they work well! The problem lies in the overconsumption of middle to high class ppl who purchase 372 Stanley's just to showcase them as a status symbol.. the overconsumption is ridiculous. The difference is that we purchase these tumblers for practicality, not to bandwagon in on these trends 😅

I have one and almost everybody in my school has it

First it was camelbacks then hydroflask then Yeti and now Stanley. Maybe I should start looking at another less known brand to invest in. Jk

@@DD-zi8lwyeti was before hydroflasks

My grandma got a hydroflask because she thought it seemed like good quality and someone STOLE it. It wasn’t even like it was still brand new by the time it was stolen. It had so many dents and scratches.

Is it good or bad that I don't know any of these brands?

I have a hydroflask but only because someone left it on the bus and every time the bus hit the brakes it would LOUDLY clatter along the floor, eventually I just… picked it up. Took it with me. Still have it to this day. I figure it’s just bus karma, I once forgot my favorite umbrella on the bus, didn’t get it back, got a fancy water bottle instead.

Im still surprised Nascar and the NHL let them get away with the name

Kinky

🌈✨️Consumerism✨️🌈

and 9 times out of 10 theyll throw them away once theyre no longer trendy instead of givimg them to people who might actually want them for drinking water

I have a suspicion it's because of the price. It's priced high because you're only supposed to buy one and it should last you a very long time, but as with anything, people seem to equate the price with status. If you had one, you're cool, and having multiple is a flex. It's really stupid and a waste of money, in my opinion.

I've had a similar thought for a while.

i was thinking that too! there"s people collecting all the colors, how is this more environment friendly?

Yes, my English portfolio woulda been absolute fire lmao

Pobresit@ :< im sorry you had to deal with their bullshit

I work at Starbucks and bought one of the other Stanley X Starbucks collabs (the red one around Christmastime) because I needed a new reusable cup and I get an employee discount. I have had more than one customer try and take my cup (filled with my water) right out of my hands while I am on my break! It is crazy how much people want these cups.

Community with an entry fee, and a prestige hierarchy

Gotta love capitalism!! /j

Who's we tho 😂😂

What? Crazes have been going on for hundreds of years. This one ain’t even that crazy. Guess yall never heard of tickle-me-elmo…

Jokes on consumerism, cuz I buy a ton of books and absolutely no one wants to be part of my book club.

I mean… the company was going out of business before the craze and they were planning on discontinuing this cup. Workers would have been looking for alternatives regardless.

@@stephc7723 I didn’t know that, but good point!

You get a pass. As long as you’re not actively seeking these cups like collecting these in an excessive amount, you’re safe

I’m so sorry about your loss

I feel ya! My mom happened to get one for free from like a raffle or something and she gave it to me. I’ve never been one to get trendy water bottle, but I decided to use it for work. Hopefully I don’t get associated with these crazy trend as well hahaha

See your fine cause your Stanley is very sentimental but like these people are just going psycho for the. Also sorry for your loss

Net positive cuz whenever someone brings it up to you you can dunk so hard on them they'd be banished to the shadow realm and never heard from again without evidence

I thought the rule in the team member handbook was that employees could buy items that had been available to guests for at least 15 minutes. If that is still the case, those employees should look into a wrongful termination lawsuit or something.

Yeah I hope those employees all take legal action

Gosh, really?? That’s horrible. I’ve been out of high school for a while now (and thank god it’s not like that at university), but with how fast trends seem to be moving nowadays…I can’t imagine the stress a lot of these kids are under to keep buying the next thing. It already felt pretty bad when I was in school, although I never saw any true bullying over stuff like that.

Fr. I deadass tell my classmates "why would you get so many if they're just gonna end up collecting dust in a few months" it's just like the hydroflask craze but worse istg because last I checked, people weren't collecting hydroflasks in multiple colors

People try so hard to fit in. It's sad that we, social creatures, fight for community instead of just following the easy route and accepting everyone.

damn that's crazy. people need a reality check. you think your coolness is based on a CUP!? Literally insane ! those are people who have nothing else to offer. how you gunna brag about something you didn't even buy yourself, or if they did buy it,that's bc they have no real bills to pay 😂

Had one of those green thermoses that have been passed from my grandfather, to my mother, to me. That thing literally looks like it’s been through a war but it still works great.

The idea of someone giving anyone a Valentinesday-Stanley Cup is a bit sad though. It's been 10 years since I celebrated Valentinesday and to be fair, it was never "really fun' or something, because my ex was a man with severe trustissues (never liked any gift I gave, because he was sure it was a hidden trap), that only felt "manly" if he could sabotage his lovely gestures with some bad behaviour, that he would call manly roughness. So my ex would give me a rose, sure, but he'd hand it over to me and then take his trousers off and drag me to the bedroom, where 'no' would just be ignored. He couldn't say the words "I love you' and would just wait until I said them and then reply; 'I know!' like Han Solo. He kept this up for the entire relationship of 4,5 years (including the unofficial 3 years before and ofcourse the half-a-year friendship before that.) I díd give a lot for Valentinesday, I made a handpainted T-shirt with an anatomical heart on it, a papermaché heart (to match) and some handdrawn cards. A memorygame, a painting of Boba Fett, Rorshach, any of his heroes. It was never appreciated though and whenever I received a gift (hardly ever) it was usually a kitchencalender for his kitchen that "I could also use one day if we live together" or a book he wanted to read and suggested I could read "once he was done with it." I never got to read that book, nor did he pre-read it as he wanted. And after I refused to take him back, all my art was (instead of returning it, as I asked) dramatically burned during a mancave weekend with his friends. Many figured I must've cheated to make him so angry. I never spoke to his friends again, only clarified to a few that asked, that I hadn't cheated, which they were most confused about, given the raging and complaining my ex had appareantely been doing. Again, it's been 10 years of being single and I'm very happy this way, but I also long for the moments in which you get to spoil someone, by hugging them in the morning and bringing them some (bit of) breakfast in bed or a little gift. And I am curious what it would be like to have him respond happy to my gifts and allow me to be myself without strain. I've offered to help someone with his Valentines-surprise once, to surprise his girlfriend, but he found it weird that I offered to get involved and help out with the gifts and all. Which I understand in a way. So now I just fantasize in my head about what I'd do if I had a partner and how I would surprise them. Sneak out of bed, the morning of Valentinesday to get your gift and then jump on the bed, kneel on the blanket and present it. Kissing his forehead, watching him as he opens the gift. Seeing him read the card and (in the case of my fantasy) thanking me for the effort I put in. Him then presenting a gift from next to his bed, which contains something I'd mentioned before and he remembered. And a card, in which he wrote that he loves me. He will not announce 'what we will be doing' and it won't be something unromantic like checking if the modelcar-shop has his 8-inch spare tires left in stock or him-playing-Minecraft-while-I-wait-and-watch-until-the-shops-are-closed. He will ask; 'What shall we do?' or better; 'Well, you mentioned you wanted to go to .. let's prepare!' and get his backpack ready. My ex had convinced me that "no other man will ever put up with your whining and your annoying behaviour, you should be glad to have such a wonderful boyfriend like me" but I'm starting to get hope that I will find someone that I like and that he likes me back, not someone like him. And when I find him, he will surprise me with gifts and I will surprise him with gifts and I can be myself and he can be himself and it will be grand. I am in no rush, but this is my new dream. p.s. I also got a card once, which was empty apart from a sexual request (more like demand) and a biscuit that he wanted me to finish, because he paid for it. Apart from a letter from a stalker in highschool that referenced sexual things and eventually led to the stalker threatening me with a pair of scissors, I never received anything for Valentinesday.

I'm really sorry for you that you had to deal with that and I hope one day you have any amazing partner who treats you well, but this has almost nothing to do with the original comment you replied to or the video in general? Yeah. Best wishes, though! Have a good day! ​@@Widdekuu91

Or Juicy Couture suddenly becoming bougies after a few celebrities wore their tracksuits? The opposite happened too - Brands like Burberry or Gucci saw their products counterfeited and consumed by "non-aspirational" people which caused their prestige to drop, until they rebranded and pivoted away from their check and monogram for decades. And brands like Michael Kors which used to be viewed as "premium" are now considered outlet for how compromised their quality had become over the years.

I don't believe this cup would keep something hot for 100 years, that's a crazy claim

There was only one cup/sharing a cup - and we didn't read the tags

NOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA😭

Excuse meWUT

What 😰

Why does her husband looks like Peter Griffin?

@@twistycrocdog8577 XD

Gypsy Rose but apparently her husband did too.

I was trying to find a comment like this 😭

The star joke of this video, just above Stan Lee cup

If she’s not ostentatiously holding it up in front of her loden green three-quarter coat and leggings EVERY TIME SHE’S IN PUBLIC I think people will know she’s not the target market

Fuck that. I’ve had one for FIVE YEARSSSSSSS. I REFUSE to give it up now. I’ve carried it around for years and no one has noticed until now. Now people say to me “oh you got influenced?” And I’m always just like “….yep.” Bc it ends the conversation sooner lol

I bought one months ago, and had no idea it was or would become some fad. I just thought it was a nice travel mug.

“You got influenced.” Ugh. I can hardly bear it 😂

Same here. I work at a school where every teacher has a reusable water bottle and not a single one of them is a Stanley. This seems like something that only happens in the US. Their type of over-consumerism is crazy.

same! I may have scrolled past one on insta's explore page maybe?

​@@aliseapse4856its an indicator of the CCP's active engagement in psyops within the TTok sphere that specifically targets users in NAmerica. i bet those cups are made in China probably in a labor camp or they have people like the Uyghurs making them. 👽

@@aliseapse4856 yeah, and the fact that some get so defensive when they hear it is proof enough

@@padawanofconfusion5954 I haven't even seen that, though to be fair, I haven't checked my insta in a very very long time

Indeed they would not

I think it’s more like if you’re going on a hike/ walk or something and you want to take just your essentials and water with you and not have to worry about carrying a bag

Tbf the cup is way larger than all 3 of those things

So my sister got everyone Stanley cups for Christmas b4 they were popular. And dead ass the reason you need a bag is because that thing weighs so much and it’s not even spill proof. So it’s like carrying this 10 lb bag on top of everything else and you can’t put it in a bag otherwise it will spill.

My dumbass would forget my water bottle in class Reason? MY WATER BOTTLE IS BLACK AND IT BLENDS IN THE SHADOW

thats really sad lol

i doubt these stanleys will keep drinks hot in subzero for long tbh

I'm not even in a specifically hockey-loving town, I just... am Canadian and not up on trends and had basically the same reaction. Like, "I keep hearing about the Stanley Cup, but I guess it IS the time for it!"

i have zero excuse because i live in georgia, have no interest in sports, and still did the exact same goddamn thing. when my girlfriend asked if i knew about the stanley cup meme i was so confused because huh wait what what's going on is there some kind of hockey controversy

🍉 🍉 🍉 🍉

ily for this

the people buying these cups probably weren't in the boycott anyway

🍉

love you for bringing this up🔥💞

Capitalistic pressure ig. I have a Yeti so watching people lose their marbles trying to get a Stanley is funny

I got zero idea either but I guess ya just gotta accept it/ Kinda like the hydroflasks

could not tell you, i didn’t even know they existed until this video

i guess because there was this one girl who got into an accident and her stanley wasnt broken and the ice inside was still cold, but idk. there might be another reason

I see the appeal of pink cups. It’s not $60 worth of appeal though. Bootlegs are affordable and honestly probably around the same quality. Most of these crazy popular brands snap in two when lightly jolted. Like 32 cups…. 32 cups.

We have the better Stanley Cup

YOU

Same 😂

I second this

Ill third this

Yep. Got given a Yeti cup 5 years ago. Still use it still absolutely love it.

Same here. I didn’t really want/need one but my aunt got me one for Christmas and omg do I love it! It’s great for 3-4 hour nursing lectures because it holds so much and keeps it cold. I’ll be using this thing FOREVER

She talks about that in the video

Lead.

I think it's absolutely fine to like the cup! I even think it's a smart thing to want; hell I know I wanted stuff that wasn't in the least bit useful as a teen

do it 🤩

White women jumpscare

Please do it and tell us how it goes

I would immediately fall in love with you knowing youre into comics

Need updates

Too bad you can't have an in-store auction for those. Have just one (to make it seem even more rare) with a whiteboard next to it. Keep writing the highest bid on that whiteboard and let it go for a week. That cup will sell for $500, especially if you put some starbucks-y dangle on the handle as well. That would make for a great reality show episode as well. Like Storage Wars or whatever, but all over one cup.

@@AgentWestthis seems like such a good idea. commenter should do this and record it if they do

It'll happen again, I bet. At some point there will be a new cup

@@LeeM22 I predict it will be Contigo

@@spritezilla_the_bebopthose were p good when i had them as a kid also wasn’t nalgene a fad too at some point? like 80s or 90s or smth lol

I bet you'd have like 5 nickels

@@jewishkidney Nalgenes were hip in the very late 90s into the 00s. Don’t make me feel older than I already am😅 Water bottle trend: yes, Internet trend: no

Well unfortunately brands like Stanley, carrhart , hell I’ll even mention wrangler , and yeti have used to be mainly blue collar / outdoors brands but now unfortunately it’s all about buying the brand. I’m a farrier and a farmer I work out in the cold and use carrhart and I splurged on my first 36 ounce yeti water bottle because they do work good. But I’ll get shit from people who accuse me of buying the brand. Even though that those said brands were originally targeted to a specific group which I’m a part of lol

I work in a very hot/cold environment depending on the season and thought that cup looks reliable maybe i buy one but I am so deterred by the entire hype that it feels almost embarrassing because you think to yourself I am not part of the crazy I just want a thermos that keeps my drink hot in a -7 °C winter and cool during 39°C summers

@@roseanoctuaasmr personally I’d just go for it. I have a yeti and a Yukon ( Yukon is probably cheaper) and they both work awesome. It’s not like I’m out here trying to collect and buy them all in every color for the vibe of buying expensive bottles

@@roseanoctuaasmr personally I’d just go for it. I have a yeti and a Yukon ( Yukon is probably cheaper) and they both work awesome. It’s not like I’m out here trying to collect and buy them all in every color for the vibe of buying expensive bottles just for the hell of it

⁠​⁠​⁠@@roseanoctuaasmrI don’t think the thermoses/travel mugs have the same hype anyway. I have the travel mug and the logo is on the bottom so you wouldn’t even clock it as a Stanley. Got it almost a decade ago and it still does its job almost too well (left it in the car in winter for a few hours and my tea was still almost too hot to drink.) They also sent me a new lid for free when I accidentally melted a part in the dishwasher, which is refreshing in this time of upsells and planned obsolescence. I got off track, but I’d say go for the travel mug if you’re interested.

There wasn't just one cup in the box. Other people stole from that box and hence the man left with just one cup in the box. So the lady was stealing from his box. Never thought I'd write such a strange sentence 😅

get in the robot asuka shinji is crying again

@@cupriferouscatalyst3708 wheres rei 💔💔

He's still stealing

I think they already did

Bradley cups 💀

I think they did by accident whit the energy drink made by Logan Paul parody (Idk if I wrote that right I'm spanish)

Like, Cartman sees that Stanley cups are popular, and decides to start his own business with them... except they are just normal cups with Stan's face in it

@@Sabbbri Now that you mention it, there is a really old episode titled "Stanley's Cup" about Stan playing hockey, lol.

I got a cup that looked just like Valentines Stanley in February accidentally (didn’t realize it was a trending knockoff) and I went to CVS after work with it. the pharmacy tech helping me said “oh, is that a Stanley?” I was so confused

Thanks I was considering buying it

i was gonna say... its pointless to buy collagen bc ur body digests it down into proteins anyways. your body can make collagen from any protein source, like eating meat. its just paying more for extra steps!

​@lilita215 never buy anything from a sponsor ever. There's a reason they are using this marketing tactic. If you came across them in a supermarket, pharmacy, on amazon etc you wouldn't buy it. So why buy it just because some youtuber claims it is good

I actually started taking collagen after Chad Chad said she started taking it. Mine's to aid my dry, cracking skin, as well as its plasticity. I don't know if it's a placebo effect, but it actually did help pretty much immediately. I also exercise and have a healthy diet.

@@EllisBrehme its only due to adding additional protein to your diet; any source will do, so save your money. if your skin is dry then an emollient will do you better.

But is it even worth it if you didn't have to assault a minimum wage worker or drop $60 so you can post on the gram? Verily I say..... Yes. Yeah that sounds pretty dope.

Ngl I’m not a big fan of metal water bottles anyways. They always make the water taste metallic-y so I’ve been using a glass one for years. Scares the shit outve me if it were to drop but taste wise it’s pretty great and it holds over 20oz so not terrible.
