#stanleycup #trending #viral
people aren't buying a cup, they're buying membership into a club - they're buying status. Oldest marketing trick in the book.
Status…..,.uh ……..and……..
WTH?
These are sheep.
Sheep parading as people.
Next to Fast Fashion - what a joke!!!
CORPORATE GREED!
@@SgtJoeSmithHow? 🙄 Stanley cups didn't tell sheeps to be obsessed/buy their product.
@joeyharper4976 it was a joke cause those sheeple are the one's crying corporate greed keeps them poor.
It’s so unfortunate that this kind of crazes are promoted by media. I have one child, bought him a Nalgene water bottle since he was in middle school and He still has the same bottle while he will be graduating from College this year.
Happy New Year all, hope whoever is reading this has the best year of there life and that can start with becoming more Christ like and able to leave this world a better place than you found it. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life do so before your last breath. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life, bow your head, close your eyes and from a sincere heart ask him to cleanse you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior.
@@TheDailyVerticalhail Satan
Nalgene is a awesome durable bottle
I got a HydraPak years ago and it goes wherever I go.
I also do a lot of backpacking and hiking as well as going to the gym.
@@TheDailyVerticalA savior who ignores humanity in their worst moments crying for help
Ive had the same Stanley for 20 years, was 12 bucks. Same concept as kids wearing Bass Pro Shop hats and Carhartt that have never stepped foot in a store nor done any kind of work requiring a Carhartt. Genius marketing, they took a $12 mug, slapped some pastel colors on it and sold it to the morons of tiktok.
That’s what I told my coal miner husband! You gotta give it to Stanley…they saw these young kids coming and are profiting big time! I use a Reduce tumbler and love it, but I wouldn’t be caught dead with a Stanley tumbler. My husband works too hard for the money! 😀 My dad is a retired coal miner as well. I knew Stanley before Stanley was pastel!
The "Beanie Baby" of tumblers. 😆
Little girl said it, “I wanted one because all the kids at school have one.” The sheep is strong with this one.
Sheepness
YEAH THESE GIRLES ON MY SCHOOL IS LIKE GETTTING STANLEYS
Society has gotten pathetic
It's been pathetic.
Made in China.
Crazy
You’re right, rampant capitalism.
Very
My retired engineer dad is 82 and I remember him having the original thermos when I was growing up - I bought him a new one a few years ago, partly because I was surprised they were still available. He is flabbergasted by this "craze". 😅
Everyone should be flabbergasted at this stupidity lol
Thermos is now and forever will be, the best brand. That day at school when Mom put chicken noodle soup in your Thermos for lunch. Taking coffee to work when you get older. Those things were like a good old fashioned cast iron tub, they could take a beating and still function.
@@marsenault9683 Fr. It makes no sense. It’s good that it’s promoting people to drink more water, but any cup could do that 😅.
I have my Dad's thermos from the 50s. He owned a Contruction Company. It sits in the kitchen
Peer pressure at its finest.
I don’t get this craze 😮
Funny how the brand Stanley (like champion) used to be a Kmart type item back in the day and now it's a sought after item 😂 Yeti who?
Haha. Very true. Good for Stanley though ..
Isn't Stanley tools now a Home Depot brand. Like how Craftsman went from being owned by Sears to being owned by Home Depot now as well?
@@beardedslavbrew615 Yeah. But Stanley Tools and Stanley ( thermal drinkware and storage) are completely different companies....
Yes they are
Kind of a mid rage tool
Not bad for the money
I still remember the Beanie Babies ceaze. People are strange 😅
You know where you can find Beanie Babies now?.... Thift Stores. Do you want to know where you'll find most of those cups in 5 years? Thift Stores.
I'm giving away my age but I remember the cabbage patch kids riot.
It was horrifying.
@@anniegoulaheee8025 omg 🤣
Why are you obsessed with these cups? "So basically, everyone in school has one." Nice reasoning. These people cannot think for themselves.
You when thing “popular” 😱
@@ageeknameddavis7628 When the "thing" is just overpriced Brand thing when many other just as good and cheaper things exist, yeah. 💀🤚
YEAH - IT'S A SHAME!!!
It doesn't even make sense indeed. However, few months ago in the end of 2023, I saw a video from very famous celebrity/influencer in my country, using this cup and all, and at the time I just think oh that a nice cup but oddly overprice, but whatever.
Now when I saw this stupid trend, I thank God that it's still not a trend in my country (Indonesia), yet, but idk. Now I just realize this is the result of guerillas PR propaganda on social medias, thru influencers. Especially toward easy impressionable kids and teenagers, and gullible adults.
Don't blame the children, they can't help how they're shaped by society and that their parents allow it.
That is so crazy. It's amazing what influence can do. Take away the craze and I doubt anyone would want these cups.
It just goes to show that everyone wants something that makes them feel special, valuable, and included.
That's what designer labels do. Just learning about this craze now and glad I know nothing about it.
$45, $300 is crazy for a tumbler. I get mine from TJ Maxx.
As I've gotten older, I've stopped wasting my money on the latest craze!!! I shop at thrift shops and I feel a lot better!!!
@@HenriettaHudson-we4wv Yep, and a year or so from now, these will be a dime a dozen in the thrift stores when someone jumps on the latest decluttering craze!
It’s called inclusive shopping. Participating in shopping fades that creates a sense of belonging & that they’re part of collaborative environment.
I love TJMaxx! Best store ever.
My sister is a victim of this craze. She was also hyped by Starbucks Planners, Shutter Shades and Baby-G watches. Nothing wrong with the tumbler though, it's just that I have the bladder capacity of a squeezed lemon and that flask will make me go to the toilet like a potty trainee. I ain't drinking that much in a car, let alone have a liter of sugar drink in a bumper-to-bumper traffic.
I don't get it. It's an insulated mug, like the thousands of others out there.
💯
Baby g watches are niiiiiice!!!
Maybe you can pee in it instead
Well i really do hope this helps these folks out. Maybe it will help them loose weight, clear up their skin and some other stuff but i never hear or knew of this until a few minutes ago.
What?!?!?!
Mann my papa had a whole collection of Stanley's when he was alive and always used them and only those ! Good times 😅
Nah this one is hard to compute. All this over a cup with a few different colours? Don't get the hype.
Hockey fans: My disappointment is immeasureable, and my day is ruined.
No wonder why aliens don't wanna visit earth
I got one for Christmas, I didn’t even ask for one. I am appreciative but would never cry over it I’m sorry
Exactly 👍🏻
I don't get it ....😅 Americans are truly weird. I worked for Starbucks and ppl are truly addicted to everything. It's amazing how much we as Americans consume items and things....
Of all the things the kids could be getting into that could be bad, I'm very glad they're into hydration.
.-. That's embarrassing as it shows they have no creativity
Actually you’re not wrong. Could be worse. Let’s see what they’ll be obsessed with next time. Tamagotchi may be?))
Dawg it’s a cup. Walmart has similar ones in size and color. These people make me mad
Yup. Bought one(not Stanley) from Walmart 4 years ago for $20… still got it… still use it… still works.
Walmarts one, doesn't have that part on bottom
Blocking lead
People are such sheep 🐑. SMH. This is ridiculous.
Ridiculous. Bunch of sheep is right.
The pet rock of the 2020's. It'll pass with time.
give it 2 months no one will talk about, care about, or want these cups
It's just a cup. There are many other brands that work just as well for way less money. I too use a reusable cup daily, had the same one I got from Buc-ees 8 years ago and paid less than $10.00. Finally got a new one about a year ago now think I paid $15. Keeps things cold all day. So I'm for the use of them but not for people just paying for a name. Some people need to listen to the "Thrift Shop" song again 😅
Just get a Stanley. You’ll feel good about it
THRIFT SHOP - MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FEAT. WANZ!!! MY ANTHEM!!!
@@RAHHicecream Never in my life has spending money just to get a name made me feel good.
On a 1 thru 10 dumb scale this one gets an 11. At home (and probably like most other homes), we already had three perfectly good insulated metal tumblers and at least four others designed for hot drinks, but take a guess at what I found on the kitchen counter two days ago. Yep, a new Stanley tumbler, but “it was only $20” 😣🤐
I remember Camelback’s were all the craze when I was in 5th grade every cool kid had one, it’s funny to see how we reinvent ways to drink water and make it trendy, but it’s good for people to drink water and better than single use bottles of water so I’m all for it.
Then when being a minimalist and declutterring from trends becomes in fashion again, you’ll see all these cups in a landfill. It’s not a long term sustainable option.
45 dollars for a coffee mug and we wonder why our economy is in crisis.
Aliens, please get here and make the overtake quick and painless.
So insane 😮
They only want them because they are popular. They don’t even know why they like them 😂💀
Carhartt, Birkenstocks and now Stanley cups, which were designed for long haul truckers. It's good that kids are loving the working class aesthetics. It would be nice if they also got to empathize with the hard working class too.
And DRINK MORE 💦 WATER
NO funny 💦 or soda
People are nuts 🤣🤣👍
The only Stanley Cup I want is big and silver, and I can only get one by making the show and winning sixteen
🙄5 ish years ago I found a “ugly” bluish Yeti mug in a trash can at my gas station.
Empty, but had perfectly fine lid, straw, and gasket.
So I took it home, boiled and bleached it four times (boil, bleach, boil, ext) and have used it since.
It was free, and I don’t need a designer cup.
I call it my “mug mug”.
Made a custom Paracord handle for it too.
Love it!🥰
Its a freakin cup, just chill people
the power of marketing. one should do a double major in psychology and marketing to get the most out of it. i didn't even know what it was.
CORPORATE GREED!
It's actually amazing that some marketing department managed to get millions of kids excited about a literal cup.
Imagine being this impressionable over a cup...
Hydroflask girlies would never
me a hydro flask girlie thinking stanley’s are ugly
I actually got mad and threw my large Hydroflask away because it was so hard to open. Lol.
Wow…an insulated cup to hold water. I can’t believe no one has thought of that before.
Glad to see people have their priorities straight
reminder these are the same people that were judging people over a chicken sandwich....
This really shows how greedy we humans are !
YYYYUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!
CORPORATE GREED!
@@SgtJoeSmith But it's us! We, the people, are doing this
@@jayl983 EMPLOYEE GREED! CONSUMER GREED! I guess its consumer greed that drives corporate greed. if it wasnt for greedy consumers wanting all this stuff we wouldnt have companies making billions.
People a such sheeps smfh stupid social media
This is literally the first I've heard of this😬
As a lifelong die hard hockey fan, this infuriates me.
Al Roker!!!! Always good to see you!
Stanley is in the LEAD!!!
😂😂😂
Its not a cup i guess,its the DESIRE to have what people desire😂
I support the reusable water bottle movement. I'm happy the kids have made reusable bottles cool.
If only they are not brand conscious and would not bite the absurd mark up of some sellers.
They have *multiple* reusable water bottles that will just be thrown away when the next trend hits 😂 First it was Nalgene, then Yeti, Hydroflask, Stanley..only a matter of time before the next craze
Do you also support a "movement" where a company that normally made affordable products for working class people and quadrupled the price because of idiots calling themselves "influencers"?
every bottle is reusable
@@legufka Sure, if you enjoy ingesting leeched estrogenic plastic chemicals.
All these people never knew this brand existed for years and years so someone on social media probably started this
Oh my gosh!! Sheep!
One of the dumbest stories Today has ever reported on. Really, couldn't find a better story? Wow... 6 of these reporters, on National TV, used precious time to comment on these silly and over priced bottles.
The Today Show has been reporting on this type of thing since its inception. I'm surprised you're surprised.
Unfortunately, no news reporters have ever talked about shipping containers being the solution to the increasing homeless problem worldwide!!
We truly are the dumbest generation
I’m glad to see an American brands do well, but people are such sheep. It’s an insulated cup, calm down.
Agreed!
Well good for the company
Ha, I just bought one after watching UA-cam channel Project Farm do a test/review on tumblers. I trust his reviews and testing methods. I didn't even know people were going mental for these things. If I had known people were going crazy for these things, I probably wouldn't have purchased one. I bought 20oz black with no handle. At least it won't stick out like dogs' balls when it's in my car.
I remember the old Stanley thermos’s. Those are so much better !!!!
So reliable and heavy duty!
For how much these Stanley cups are, it's freaking insane.
thank god I don't have the urge to fit in and get what everyone else got
And these are the same people that have the nerve to make fun of people that collect video games and toys.
I would never personally do this for a cup, but I see no reason to put down people who do. It seems like if something is popular among men, then it's fine, but if it's suburban moms or teen girls who like something, then it must be mocked relentlessly and we must point out how frivolous and dumb it is. Just let people enjoy things and be excited. It's not hurting anyone.
Yeah, I noticed there’s a lot of judgment over buying a cup. If it makes somebody happy then why not 🤷♀️plus it is helping the environment by reducing plastic water bottles
@@Frugal_fitchic Frivolous consumption does not help the environment
@@jennifermarie3158 I own just 5 cups and one happens to be a Stanley. I work out in the heat and this is nice to have because it keeps ice well. I used to buy a lot of bottled water but now I have a Stanley cup that I can refill, so yeah I think it helps the environment.
@@jennifermarie3158It's not frivolous in any way. Thermal cups have been around forever ...
Men will buy something and use it to the day they die. Women and children will find something new they just must have next week.
Thank you for explaining this craze, I as so confused. And now I want one 🤣 but they are completely sold out in all the cute colors now
Stanley Tumblers contain traces of lead! stay safe
The only Stanley Cup I would cry for is silver. :)
Insanity at it's worst.
I swear to God I see NO hype in it. I have never been a fan of cups like that because its not like I can comfortably place in my bag, purse or car holder
Exactly! Bottle pockets and cupholders were made for a reason!
i don't get it lol
People are slow really slow those Stanley cups have lead in them 😂
I think it’s beyond stupid!! I’ve been using our Stanley thermos from the 70s for years! Was actually going to buy one for my kids, suddenly it’s become a popular brand.
Pricy must-have fads have been among us for a long time. Only this one is an actually functional product that can still be used after the craziness subsides. There's no need to go into a moral panic over a reusable travel cup.
I got my Stanley 64 oz jug on clearance from Sam’s 2 years ago, and it has no scratches or dents. Unlike those cheaper bottles. So yeah it’s amazing and not to brag but I found it for like $10 😊😊😊😊 Sam’s must not have known about the hype
Stanley’s became popular in 2023.
These people are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs
Honestly all jokes aside I got mine to save myself from my piles of huge cups I would get at the coffee shop. Every day I always order a jumbo drink and so this will really reduce my waste and save ALOT of room in my trash bin every week. I agree any water bottle can do the same thing so I commend anyone who buys a water bottle to achieve the same goal.
Love my Yeti cup more!!!
Are they the new Beanie Babies craze?
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
And they keep lining up
Stanley vs yeti
I recently ordered one, but I'd never crazily obsess over a dumb tumbler, people that actually start crying over them I'm worried about
Amazing! I loved it! It really helped me understand it better
I guess the Holy Gail would be a Stanley cup with Taylor Swift tickets inside.
I work for a school district if I want a Stanley cup all I have to do is wait til some student leaves theirs lying around, I've collected so many different brands throughout the years, this is no different here today forgotten tomorrow.
I thought they were Stanley Cup hockey tumblers.
No.... I already did the Hydro flask trend....lol
This is a good recap. They got a lot in. The only thing they didn’t mention was water tok but idk if that’s the most important thing.
We did a deep dive too if you'd like to check it out, we also got into the whole water tok debate on our last episode, "Decoding the Stanley Cups Culture", we would love to get your take on the flavored water debate!
Im just Smiling cause it has my Name on it. 😁😁😁😁.
Stanley Steemer, Stanley Tools, Stanley Cup (NHL), Stanley Cups.....im everywhere oh and Stan Lee
What a joke
I think in my day we called this a thermos , they came with my 5 dollar lunch box
Remember Quest for The Stanley Cup Hockey Trophy? This is some kind of modern day Holy Grail!
It's a cup. 😂😂
Seriously 😳 lol 😂
I guess this is what they mean when they say ‘the thirst is real.’
Target has water bottles that are much cuter.
And All Those Years Us Gamers Were Made Fun Of For Waiting In Front Of GameStop Till Midnight For The New Call Of Duty .
Yea that was a stupid thing to do too.
These gamers are goofy asf as these people
@@memzo_getRyea no, staying for a game you are excited for is less pathetic than staying up for a pink cup
They just can’t fathom the possibility of people having interests different from their own.
In my opinion, the Reduce brand is better quality and half the price. I love my Reduce cup and even gifted two of them.
I remember when people was excited for the newest video game console or video game and not a cup of
They make a fine thermos!
What a bunch of fools 😂😂😂
Fr
This year's 'Nothing Burger'. The people who waste money on premium cable channels must be the ones who are emptying the shelves for these cups.
Probably!!!
I've had the same Camelbak insulated bottle for like 7 years. Does the same thing. Its the name nothing more.
