#stanleycup #lead #trending
Those people throwing their Stanley’s in the “trash” are taking them out when the camera stops rolling lol.
All for the clicks...
@@igorschmidlapp6987 I think the word you're looking for it 'reach'
Yup clout chasers
Another trend…
If people thought you were kind of dumb before the whole lead thing came out.... carrying Stanleys around after will erase all doubt. Do what you feel, though. They used to wear makeup with lead and the finest clothing with arsenic. In Victorian times, people lived all the way up to their early 40s if they were lucky! There is no safe level of lead. The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 was the last act passed regarding lead in cosmetics.
The home lead testing might not be accurate, but the fact Stanley uses any lead is kind of disappointing, especially for the price you’re paying. I’ll stick with my Hydroflasks.
Just by from hydroflasks manufacture you can buy it for alot cheaper
They're made in China... So. We already should of known
@@shondrawhite9317 i’m sorry? i don’t get it
@@roc-noK most products shipped to the United States, from China have tested positive for lead. This has been going on for years. Contaminated products include children's toys, to Stanley cups. I hope this helps.🕊️
@@shondrawhite9317 dang, really? i know most stuff is made in china but i never heard of this, concerning.
This cup is overpriced & dumb
There are no stupid sellers, only stupid customers
Our species is dumb. No wonder aliens don't want to meet us. We're toddlers who need our sippy cups & fight over them too. Sick.
@@SenhasSenarayup same ones as the prime drinks
I made fun of my friend for having one as a male lol
BIG DUMB CUP🥤
SNL on UA-cam
Now all the competitors are going to redesign their packaging to say LEAD FREE and it will be the next big feature consumers suddenly prioritize when buying these cups. Even though the lead in the stanley cups isn't a threat the fact that the packaging won't say lead free will set them back big time. I bet it was a competitor who put the first lead testing video out lol.
In the year 2024 there is no reason to use lead other than to cut corners, they deserve the backlash.
Lead isnt a threat because big corpo says so, you deserve this bs
You are a smart dude. Good take
Hydro Flask taking shots at Stanley 😂
Yeah it’s cheaper and better in many ways
So was Klean Kanteen on Instagram. lol
always a great marketing/business opportunity when your competitor's missed up or use/do something that their customer's dent like.
Hydro Flask taking shots and scoring BIG! When a company puts their profits over your kids' health, a line has been crossed!
Jesus christ im an avid hiker, most insulated cups have lead used to seal the vaccuum, its not dangerous and the lead tester strips tiktokers are using are for PAINT they’re not accurate for other items other than paint. The stanley craze is ridiculous but Stanley products have been around longer than this craze and are quality items.
It took 49 years, but my hometown finally got the Stanley Cup in 2019!
Did it have lead in it?
Only to realize there's led in it. You're better off with a different water bottle
So let me get this straight, this company has been around for 100 years making cups and still they can’t figure out how to stop it from leaking when it tips over and now the seal is made out of lead? 😂
I almost got myself a Stanley quencher cup. I decided against it. I instead spent the money that I would’ve gotten for one with a reasonably priced gaming headset for my Xbox and a new pair of puma shoes
is it because you're cat?
@@herpaderp1470 It’s both a waste of money and I don’t want to expose myself to lead. Besides, I have a couple of reusable water bottles.
That was a mature decision, well done you’ve passed the first test. It’s a great skill to be able to resist the trends.
My main issue is how is the dishwasher supposed to get inside the straw?
Another example of… if you get big enough, somehow they will find a way for you to get cancelled.
The higher you go, the harder you fall.
Who knew puting poison in a cup and then marketing to children was going to get so much backlash? They are dishwasher safe, though!
@@uploderpilotyou really are falling for this trend hard. You’re no different from the people that buy them
@@TechSupportPriest I wish I knew the point you were trying to make. I'm talking about greedy corps putting everyday people's health at risk to save a few pennies. Execs getting 6 figure bonuses to make the world less safe. Stanley....Save the environment using reusable cups, but make them with lead because they truly don't care about the environment or people in it. I'm calling them hypocrits is my entire point!
I'm calling stanley hypocrits. Save the environment by using refillable cups and at the same time secretly save a few pennies by putting lead in these cups because they don't really care about the environment or people in it. My issue is with people that buy the cups after KNOWING they are dangerous to look cool and not the people that were unknowingly scammed!
my friend Stanley lead bottom broke off. She can’t use the cup anymore because it’s exposed to lead. It’s possible it can come off so be careful!!
@@Aroseisarose15 i don't really care tbh💀ill just stick w/ my hydro flask
@@giulianafrz I like my Hydro Flask too.
Mine too and I’ve been using it for months 😭
I knew someone was gonna try to take Stanley down 😂😂
Shots fired Hydroflask! YETI remains curiously silent...
Why did people quit using yetis?
@@carolinechavez9203 yeti has led in it as well.
Yeti just buying mystery ranch and keep those big dumb cups away from them
I love my yeti cup.
We need south park to parody this!
Yeeeesss!!
Super cereal in my Stanley cup
Where Kenny unlives from lead poisoning. That would actually be hilarious!
Our car has dynamite but don't worry, it'll only be dangerous when it's broken
What are so special about this cup????
Americans just can’t stop buying crap
It's the only way to be admitted to the sheep heard!
They think they are pretty
Apparently it survived a fire in a car accident. This was what led it viral and became the “must have item”. The pros is that it can keep your drink cold up to 12 hrs, 48 hrs w ice. HOWEVER, the cons is, for a $45-50 cup, it spills. And in order to prevent the spilling, you have to buy 2-3 small attachments just to prevent it from spilling.
I have a coworker that has one. They seem like solid, durable water bottles, but overpriced. I’ll stick with my Nalgene bottle. It lasted me years and it’s easy to clean.
All those years with working class guys and not a problem or peep...
Probably because they didn’t wash them. On this note, let’s just remove all products with peanuts
Aaaaand there goes Stanley 👋
Make them in America!!!
Are you prying off the cover, chipping through the powder coat and then licking the plug?
These girld may be living in towns with soft water, using high level dishwashers (rich AF)- this is how ALL CLAD was sued
How about thinking about this type of before purchasing so you aren't buying stuff then tossing it out a month later
Stanley’s lifetime warranty is a joke I had their stupid traditional thermos and the plastic lid melts after awhile depositing microplastics into my water and Stanley refused to replace it the second time. Even if they replaced it it’s just gonna happen again after awhile
Leading the way!
If the lead can’t get in my water then how did it get all over the swobs?
Because it was specifically in the circle section on the bottom. Which is a separate piece from the container that actually holds the water the cup is made in two separate sections.
$50 of Lead!! I love how all our life they say lead is bad but yet Stanleys Lead is good for you!!! So glad I don't have a BIG DUMB CUP!!... There is so many Lead Free packaging!! I am in Purchasing and Logistics and worked for a Plastic Company!!
Sorry but when did they say it was good for you? Bold of someone who works at a plastic company.
"They're safe unless the bottom of the cup is acutely damaged." Is the quote! They said it was safe, which can be translated to good for you. Seat belts are safe, are they also not good for me? It's funny how Stanley NEVER put that clue about lead on the packaging for the consumer to be aware of before they purchased them.
I remember when everyone had S'well, then hydro flask, now stanley, what's next ? Yeti ? Thermos ? Contigo ? Kleen Kanteen ? Zojirushi ?
talk about fumbling the bag. Even if its not harmful, They have lost trust
I fail to comprehend the rationale behind their utilization of any lead. So what? I don't even own one. I possess a higher level of intelligence compared to those women.
You mean pre-teen girls?
Why film throwing them away 😂
And they pick it up right after they stop filming 😂
Paying 60 dollars to get cancer just great!
They're $35-$45.
@@Nayr747
Im glad you correcting the price will stop lead exposure
Well how much is a packof cigarettes
@@JohnSmith-xu7ev A few airheads on tiktok who have no idea what they're doing doesn't equal lead exposure.
@@Nayr747
Everything from China has lead in it. They are top polluter in the world
Why buy a product with lead in it
Buy a Ball Aluminum Cup instead.😂😂
I work in a school and all I’ve heard is I can’t wait to get my Stanley . It’s like a clique thing
Yep, clique and status. My dad and my husband had the original coffee thermos and those are the real Stanley’s to me.
@@Aroseisarose15 yes my husbands is like 30 years old . Those are Stanley’s
@@ChemicalQuail we still have it on a shelf in the garage.
I don’t know if mine is a real Stanley bc it doesn’t have the center bottom circle thing. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not
Why are the cups testing positive for led?
I work at a gun range. Making a big deal over the minuscule amount of lead in these cups is a joke.
Are you drinking from your weapons? Are your children drinking from the shell casings like little teacups? ,
@@shondrawhite9317what a dumb comment to say from someone that knows absolutely nothing about firearms. Bullets have lead primers in them and when ignited, the lead particles fly up in the air and into your lungs. So yes, you are consuming lead from the air and into your lungs.
Alpha males eat lead for breakfast... Errrr
@@tiberianexcalibur LoL I have firearms. One is a police issued 38 special. And I know how lead works. And China is making products including toys and Stanley cups to dumb down our population. You're proof it's working
@@tiberianexcalibur so what you're saying it's perfectly fine to breathe in and or drink from a Chinese made lead sippy cup. Lead is safe... Cool
im glad that I never follow trend.
When stuff gets popular, it suddenly becomes dangerous. 😅
Or its been dangerous n ppl weren’t aware 😂
I don’t think that’s how life works, it would have had lead either way.
Owala cups are amazing ❤
"pretty much stopped using lead in just about every product". bro-
Yeah pretty much doesn't cut it!
I like my Stanley and Yeti cups!! I’ll keep using them. The real sheep are the people that focus on the negative thoughts and ideas of media and people that love to hate!! If you like it, get it, if you don’t then get something you do like and be happy about it. Haters will always hate and try to bring you down and that includes media, influencers, and anyone that can’t stand happiness and success of others. After this report I think I’ll go buy another Stanley
Ya same I might get a Stanley I’ve always wanted one idc if it has lead
Update: I got a Stanley! I’m so happy idc what ppl say abt it!
Campers have been using them for years. I had several for over 5 years
Nobody cares
What about thermos brand ? Do they have lead ?
Why would the test show up positive when you test other areas of the cup then? I don't see anyone popping off that tab and testing there, but the tests are still positive
Maybe they have lead in their water from old pipes in their home? And it left residue inside the cup?
@@tracylynnw Yes, that could be a possibility. From the articles I read, it seems people should be more worried about the lead in their water supply than the lead that’s inaccessible from Stanley cups.
PLEASE THROW AWAY YOUR STANLEY CUPS, THIS BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY CAN REMOVE THE LEAD BUT THEY DONT WANT TO CUZ ITS SO MUCH CHEAPER TO USE LEAD
I just got a Stanley and now I’m wondering if it has led because I spent 44 dollars for a cup of
Csn i afford that cup? Yes...will i buy one? No way!!! I love mine from walmart that costed me around $8 and i had it since 2019
I still want a Stanley cup
Me too bro, me too
And then you throw them out instead of returning them and demanding a refund. Hire an attorney and sue the company. Heavy sigh...
I don’t think endless numbers of tests can be wrong tho… if they’re all having the same results
There’s a good chance they just want clout. Another possibility would be lead from old pipes in their houses
A lot of people got lead on into buying these lead filled cups
IN the end they don’t care because statusssssss
*I will stick with my pink Yeti that was given to me for Christmas.* 🥳✨
I hope so.
Dang that’s sad
YOU NEED A STANLEY CUP JUST GET A STANLEY DUPE IF IT HAS LEAD I HAVE A STANLEY DUPE
Its a soldered hole on outside liner ; the hole they vacuum the air out of, (not inside), it is covered on the outside with a steel cap. (Is it necessary, idk) Very similar to the way Yeti and ALL of the other vacuumed cups are manufactured. Litigious society at it again. Making worry where there is none. If you are going to sue one, sue them all. Yeti has it written in their FAQ (solder is +/- 40% lead), Stanley did not tell. What about all of the no name brands? I'll bet they're not so careful. Lawyers for Karens. Yes, use your plastics. They're doing us a world of good in the flotilla of plastics in the ocean gyre. Ntm the micro plastics showing up in everything. We're doomed. It won't be an asteroid. We will rot from within.
How funny...the craze became the poison.
You got your new source from SNL.
Everyone seemed to think the marauding teens comment was a joke, but they're in NYC, so she was definitely serious.
It's a flip in cup. Why do you care? People who think this is exciting have been bought and sold.
Yeti is better
Agreed. Although my yeti is an actual thermos. And not a sippy cup with a straw. Lol I carry my yeti like a purse. And they also come in fun colors. Mines eggplant. What's yours? Just curious. You definitely don't have to answer. Lol
Yeti's magnetic lid is nice but Project Farm tested a bunch of them and Stanley won in almost every test.
@shondrawhite9317 hey lol and it's black
Superman is worried about Lead 😂😂
Big Dumb Cup 😂
LOL THE 2$ TEST KIT IM SURE ITS 100% ACCURATE.
Hahaha 😂
I’ve always said that anyone with This cup is a red flag 🚩
I will stick with YETI
Give it a year, and this dumb cup will become another empty metal trash piece in the back of the cupboard
All of these cups have lead, Stanley has been using lead since I used Stanley thermoses in grade school over 50 yrs ago, yeti uses lead, I would think if you checked out all the stainless mugs, they all have lead
Wow. All I care about are if I can still buy the construction thermoses?
Remember Thermoflask? Then it was Yeti. Now Stanley. All stainless steel containers made in China.
It does taste like metal when you use water
if you rub it on your junk it glows
In what country are they made ?
China. I mean, do you even have to ask?
how sad at least they should offer quality
Classic corporate not willing to spend money until caught
Yummy! It’s Lead flavored!
Lead actually tastes sweet. That's why ancient people love it as additive.
A lot of the population have been breathing lead paint in their houses. This is nothing.
Just get a aquaflask. Exact same vacuum sealed cup, better straw and it's lead free
I thought I was gonna die until I saw this
Its fun finding these and yetis at the flea market now for 2 bucks lol
To be honest - why would there even be lead anywhere near food or drink related product?
I was pretty sure that we figured out that lead is exactly good for you well over century ago.
Rapamycin in pork meat. Hong kong threw a fit when US tried to export pork to them.
So overrated I don’t get the hype.
For that reason and others some peoples should not be so presumptuous, smug with expensive items.
I can't believe they have lead! Very, very disappointing!!!
Yes it does
I’m am throwing away my tumbler! Even if there isn’t led to be consumed I don’t care 50 pound down the drain! What a waste:( it’s not “rare” it’s just a simple drop or to then bam it comes off what a waste !👎
Why lead thought
They kniw the stigma behind lead
These people just want an excuse to drink less water.
I still drink from the same Tervis cup I've had since 2015, so I'm good. Who knew this is where the Stanley cup craze would 'lead' to. lol😂
They got paid by Stanley
Stanley < Hydroflask
Stanley did better in Project Farm's testing.
i have 2 hydroflasks and NEITHER ONE can keep ice for more than like an hour or two. My stanley has kept ice in it for about 10 hours..... theres no comparison lol
Now it makes sense why all the kids can't read!
Almost like buying a pair of $400 shoes from trump
big dump cup
“Vintage” Stanleys
Good thing I never bought that cup! I like my Five and Below knockoff just fine!
the worstt thign we ever did was give women the idea they are anything but sheep.
Disappointing 😢
My free Starbucks cold beverage cup is so much better, especially in that regard. No lead! Lol!
I’m a yeti guy n omg it’s a no
Why would it have lead
