I wouldn’t recommend this company unless you don’t like having money for a product that won’t come, (got screwed twice by them) look at the reviews online first
The thought that resellers who were fist-fighting in stores to flip the bottles online for $250 are now stuck with unmovable stock fills me with *GLEE*.
The disabled girl getting her water bottle stolen at school by another kid is genuinely heartbreaking. It probably took her mom forever to find a water bottle that suited her daughter’s needs, only for it to get stolen by another kid who probably knew that she was intellectually disabled and decided to exploit that for her own gain.
@@avp_youtube I hope the parents of the kid who stole the cup punished them. You shouldn’t be stealing from anyone let alone someone who’s intellectually disabled!
As a blue-collar guy, I was really confused when I first saw people freaking out about Stanley. Many a trade worker has been keeping their coffee hot in a green Stanley thermos for decades. All of a sudden, every suburban woman was frothing at the mouth over the brand. It was baffling lol.
@@dawnliphard9591 i'm still using the one my dad used when he was trucking back in the 80s and 90s. been on field trips, camping trips, work trips... if it ain't broke, don't replace it
I know exactly the one. It kept my dad’s coffee warm in the NAVY. When I told my husband about the Stanley cups he got excited because he thought people were suddenly hype about hockey.
I love that thermos! My dad would fill it with hot coco and bring it on ski trips and it was always still piping hot. When I first saw the stanley trend I was like “oh I have that!”
Love how the Stanley’s lasted a month before people threw them out bc the trend ended/lead accusations and yet I’ve still got the same water bottle i had three years ago
Same. Had mine for over five years and it doesn’t leak and keeps my stuff cold for almost 2 days. Think the brand is Manna. Was $20. Even got a dent in it and still keeps stuff cold. And has a cool handle from the top.
I had the same water bottle from 2013 to 2019, and it was a fucklng Exploitalife giveaway my mom participated in, only stopped using it after it fell and broke 😂 If an exploitalife plastic bottle can last that long a god damn Stanley can last longer 😂
Yes I was. I worked at Cracker Barrel when they came out. People would call the gift shop where I worked, to see if the new ones came out yet. And the thing is we would get a small shipment in every Tuesday, I believe. Maybe 50 of them. They would be gone in 30 minutes. And we had a limit, 1 per customer. Boy, they did not like that.
I purchased a hydro flask after it was recommended to me by a friend because it's super reliable. and pretty tough. I had a real-life human being come up and tell me that my hydro flask is ugly and I should have gotten a Stanley cup... what even are humans anymore?
The funny thing is, I was seeing older women (mom pages and home decor/renovation influencers) with Stanley cups way before all of this in like 2017. So all these trendy weirdos are late anyway.
I am a parent, and evrything that is considered "cool" will not enter my house, ever!! Because most cool stuff isnt cool for a very long time, its just the clever way it is marketed so people will fall for it and spend their money on useless and expensive products. I'm happy to say i brought up my kids with common sense.
@@stardust2938I agree. Cool things are just elaborate marketing schemes to get sheep youth with underdeveloped brains to spend money on things they don’t need.
I'm not Canadian but even I associate the words "Stanley Cup" with hockey. That's why when I heard about this weird fad, I thought people were swarming ticket offices to hockey events. Then I was very surprised to find out it was the insulated mug! I don't understand TikTok trends and fads. My 9 year old Sigg water bottle works perfectly fine and never leaks. I heard the Stanley mugs aren't even watertight and will leak slowly if they fall on their side. What a dumb waste of money!
@@largol33t12my husband thought the same thing about hockey and was very disappointed to find out it was a fad. I still use my old nalgene that I got at a summer camp from childhood. Or I use disposable bottles. We can’t drink the water in my area without boiling.
That reminds me, goodwill is kind of a wild place. That cashier defo lied about the "$20 pricing mistake" on the cup, but outside of Australia, employees can hide or take items they like before customers.
and now you know how all those miraculous finds/deals videos made about thrift shops actually happen. those items get reserved for specific people, who basically pay a subscription fee to the owners/managers to let them get the best stuff. gotta make sure those poor people never have a single opportunity to actually get a profitable return on investment.
@@lynnfromthetin scalpers did that. but 25 - 45 dollars for them is still a minimum of 2500 % of its production cost. sometimes companies find ways to drop production costs to below zero, but its usually through slavery and government subsidy. ooooh - fun fact! - there isnt a single company in any eurocentric country that can operate without being heavily subsidized by everyone elses tax dollars...
Goodwill sometimes doesn't price luxury gods high enough and when someone finds a good deal its a crapshoot if they will be allowed to buy it or it will be redirected to the online auctions
Yep, I’m from Canada and we do mandatory community service in hs, I did some of mine volunteering at a goodwill and all the workers did this stuff (Hiding items and marking prices up for things they wanted for themselves so no one else would buy them)
Honestly using it as a flower vase is the better option of all. Rather than having a full wall of bottle collecting dust, they are now holding water as they intended and flowersto be pretty around the house
I like this perspective - if you're gonna have tons of cups to the point that it's counterproductive, at least make them do something that looks nice and is semi functional 😅
I was going to say... Plus, if there's anyone like me, I don't buy flowers enough to keep using the vases I get, so they just end up under my sink taking up space. At least this way the "vase" has multiple uses.
The Stanley touching on the floor is so dumb you know why? Fun fact: every product you touch in the store has been on the floor at some point. Weither its from stocking, other customers moving things around, falling onto the floor, etc. Every product in the store you touch has been touched by a hundred strangers and been on the floor. Thats why you should wash and clean some of your products when you get home.
I thought hydro flasks were annoying but now I’m starting to regret ever thinking badly abt them, bc at least the VSCO girls weren’t this insane… I knew a girl who had a hydroflask during its hype and it was dented all over yet she kept using it bc that’s the whole purpose of it.. it’s reusable
I’m laughing for so many reasons at these people. Also, Goodwill has been jacking up prices for years, and for ages they’ve taken great advantage of a federal loophole that allows them to pay their disabled employees way less than minimum wage.
@@Meow4BI think you’re definitely right about the goodwill employee. If she would have been in charge of labeling/stocking, it would have never even made it to the shelf. And yep, you’re also right about honoring the price. How despicable this whole thing is.
@@ColdCreekBFederal loophole to pay disabled employees less than minimum wage? What the heck is that? That’s horrible. The governments really don’t care about anybody do they?
@@vanillapinkfluff3477it's legal as long as the government signs a piece of paper that says you can and yeah it's disgusting. Good will is not the only place that does this either, a lot of "sheltered workshops" do it too and they'll frame it as charity because "this is their only change at employment". It's sick but most people don't care about the rights of disabled people, even though disability is really common and it's also only minority that anyone can enter at any time. Basically goodwill sucks but I still shop there because when you need cheap clothes you need cheap clothes. I'm tired
16:25 this reminds me or one time when a kid from my school stole someone else’s Stanley and began literally DRINKING out of it during school. Once she was confronted about it she just gave it back like it was nothing 😭
This is something that drives me nuts. They are a reusable cup to cut down on waste. People decide to collect anywhere from a few of their favorite colors to dozens of them. Then a few months later throw them all out??
Honestly that's something I don't understand: If your kid comes home with a new item, you know that your kid stole it from someone. How is it that these parents don't bring it back to the school but are obviously fine if their kid steals from others? They see their kid walk around with someone else's things and are ok with it. It makes me so angry.
Some parents don't care and are passing on their entitlement to their kids. Look at ipad parents who refuse to actually be parents and then blame teachers for not being surrogate parents. Not too far fetched to think their entitlement could extend to theft
@@ghoulchan7525 And the parent doesn't bother to check? Or at least to say thank you to the parents of the kid who aparently "gifted" something so expensive to them?
Counter point: they hid it from their parents or they told their parents the parents bought it (gaslighted them) because they have so many stanleys already so the parents forget which they did buy.
@ and yes I do have a Stanley but I ain’t spending 50-100 bucks for one and I can tell u right now that u have no biz commenting on a 7 month old comment
that poor kid who got their cup stolen is actually beyond heartbreaking to me...... im autistic and i absolutely understand the importance of having a specific type of water bottle for my specific set of needs and to have that TAKEN from me... i hope whoever's bratty ass kid that stole that cup gets fucking laughed out of that school for what they did cause i know if id been that kid id be in such a state at losing something of mine thats as important as a water bottle.. i remember some guy took my plain eraser once in middle school and i was so upset about it being gone simply because it was MY eraser that id been using all school year.. i couldve easily gotten a new one but the difference was just that id been always using that one so it had some sort of sentimental value to me that i couldnt just replicate..... it seems silly and small to most people, but it really isnt to us.
I have adhd and i usually misplace things (Mainly my water-bottles) and i feel so bad for that kid aswell especially sense maybe with a bit more time the kid would've found it and it was such a high value item. Its sad to think the other bratty kid just had to steal it.
THE ERASER THING HAPPENED AT SCHOOL AND I WAS SO CONFUSED OF WHY I WAS CRYING BC OF IT (it was randomly gifted by my friend but wasnt like a huge big of a deal and ive been using it a long time so it mustve been the sentimental value) also somebody stole my pencil ive been using FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, GIFTED BT MY FRIEND, A GOOD PENCIL I REALLT LIKED, and i cried so bad ive mustve looked insane
As another autistic person, I heavily relate to the eraser thing. Whenever I lose a favorite pencil or just a pencil I use often I get really upset, though I always hide the fact that it made me upset because a lot of people don't really understand it since it's just a pencil. Also kinda reminds me of the time where my candy wrapper collection disappeared (I think my grandma threw it away) and I had a meltdown🧍♀️
seriously. 60 dollars is an entire week of hard labor pay for most americans. its more than a months worth of hard labor pay for pretty much everyone outside of eurocentric countries

The thrift became gentrified due to the same people who hoard Stanley cups. When it became trendy, which is bizarre to me because i was bullied for wearing second hand... They started to buy "vintage" and brand name, and they started advertising all over social media about how much money they made selling these thrifted items on ebay, depop, etsy ect And the companies saw it all. Due to them. Price increases are due partly because of influencers advertising that they make money from it. I was lucky to get some thrifted addidas as a child. Good luck now due to the resellers
This kind of reminds me of when I used to wear a (second hand) three striped Adidas Jogger to PE and got bullied for it. Then a few years later it was the absolute trend item (and still kind of is) and suddenly everyone wore it. Same with my thick eyebrows. Trends are just stupid man
@@Jaguarkralle1I've had super-full lips my whole life, & I was made fun of as a child! I was ashamed, & wouldn't even wear lipstick til I got older. Then, sev yrs ago, ppl started paying $ to get bigger lips, & now everyone is pumping filler & crap into their faces & lips! At 53, I now feel weird bc I figure ppl may think I've actually spent hard-earned $ on my lips, yet I would NEVER inject crap into my face! So, once again, even tho big lips are now 'cool', I STILL feel weird about something I've never had control over. I'm just grateful to not have spent $$$ on something so stupid, & hope the trend goes away. Believe me, at some point, most ppl outgrow following trends. One of the best things about getting older is that you truly stop caring what others think. I never bought a Stanley either, btw, & kinda feel bad for ppl who think they have to fit in. Live n let live!
@@trishgels people don't think you have lip filler. It's very obvious when someone does (e.g. imbalanced lip ratio, unnatural cupids bow, filler migration, lumpiness, lack of lines on lips, upper lip line protrusion creating mustache effect, etc.) People can live in denial but the fake thing will never touch the real deal.
There was a girl in my class who named her Stanley, and she and her friends talked about it enough that they convinced the substitute teacher that ‘Bethany’ was a real person
Sometimes it's good to keep an eye on trends. If there's a product you want that's trendy, you can wait for the trend to die and prices to plummet. I might buy a Stanley cup now that they're so cheap everywhere.
Using cups and other containers for flower arrangements is very common and has been for decades. That said… not for that price. That is insanity. Love your videos!
I used to think that gen z was pretty anti-trend (I am gen z), and then I realized that being anti-trend or alternative was just a 2020 trend. I discovered my favorite styles in 2020 and I'm still wearing them.
It’s funny. I was born in ‘97, and most of my friends are pretty close to that as well. Technically, we are members of gen z, but we’re on the higher end. None of us ever felt the need to follow trends or even have a TikTok. I don’t doubt that there are exceptions out there, but it seems to me that most gen z members who follow these trends are the ones who are towards the middle or lower end of the generation, which was around the time smartphones blew up.
Also being apart of gen z I love laughing at other people of our generation who indulge in these ridiculous trends to “look cool” but I also feel really bad that social media especially TikTok has brainwashed our generation and generations after us to partake in these trends. It’s dumbing people down and people are letting it happen to not only them but also their children 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@SeaAngel24676 Like I said, there are always exceptions. There are some on the higher end with me who follow these trends too. I just remember the things that I, my sister, and our friends used to play with while we were growing up in the late 90’s-early 2000’s. I just feel like the internet was really where the trouble that Hayley harps on went beyond typical playground bullying or workplace gossip. I don’t really follow trends, but I do spend a good deal of time on the internet (probably more than I should at times, so I’m not perfect either). I hope I don’t come off as being high and mighty. That wasn’t what I was going for. If you have the courage to do something different from most people, good on ya!
@@alexanderkelsey-gi4qnI was born in '99 and I've never really cared for trends. I just like what I like. I actually get sad when things I like are a trend because I have to pay more and try harder to find them 😂 (Littlest Pet Shop is a prime example. I love them for the nostalgia)
18:56 as a Starbucks barista… in America, they could save the disposable plastic cup and request for their drink to be made inside their Stanley… just wasting more plastic.
plus youd probs get tad more in the stanley then the plastic cup i do this with my durarara themed reusable cup iv had 6 years now i order a medium and u basically get a medium and a half
@@xen_luvsvcats why ? just be a normal human and apologize weirdo. it's not that serious you don't need some kind of comeback. you almost knocked over something they own and you rlly think it's that weird she was like "my baby". homegirl wasn't deadass serious and you know it. cringe.
Phew. I've been drinking out of Stanley tumblers for years, so it's a relief to know my dinged up caffeine bucket and I are back to being uncool. The stars have realigned, there is no longer a disturbance in the force, and I'm a weird nerd once again. 😌
In my opinion the coolest people are those who think that they are uncool while being one of the most precious and amazing creatures in the world. We are all equal, but we are not the same and that's beautiful. Thank you for being unique, fellow netizen ❤
as someone who used to stock shelves in a retail store in michigan [USA] - we have a similar law that states stores must honor the posted/stickered price
My moms friend is a lawyer.. the amount of materialistic and luxurious shit she buys and doesnt use and just gives away to us… is insane. Im talking about coach, fabletics, carhartt, nike, makeup, shoes, toys, etc. she spends money like theres no tomorrow. And me? Well I get all the awesome “crap” she didnt like or want.
Stfu and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth 🤣 you’ve got a good deal there. Keep what you want, sell what you don’t. Oh and make sure your mom stays friends with her lol
The hell my friend's family did something similar My friend was doing a photography GCSE and his parents got him TWO CAMERAS that he just... Didn't use. They were EXPENSIVE too, proper nice Sony cameras and he just ended up not liking his course so they gave both to me?? Because "you like photography right?"
Dude my biggest flex in life will be that I never bought a Stanley cup! It was never pretty looking to me, which is fine people can like different things... But what wasn't fine was when kids started getting BULLIES for not having that cup... That's when I chose to make fun of those people, as a kid that grew up extremely poor it actually made me cry that these babies were bullied for not having like 80 bucks for a cup... Even though I'm 26 now and I only work a part time job because I'm doing university too, I still have a couple thousand euros saved up and since I never spend money on anything for myself, I would be able to buy it, but in my mind I'm still poor so I was like hell nah... I used to never ask my parents for more than one snack that was like 30 cents (Converted from the Serbian the Currency into dollars) 2 a month when we went grocery shopping, because I knew how poor we were and I never wanted to make my parents feel bad for not having more money, because they still gave me everything I needed and my childhood was still beautiful.... So I can't imagine how fucking hard it must be to get BULLIED because your family isn't privileged enough..
I honestly don't understand the bullying part. The bragging and showing off sure. But having status symbols means you don't actually WANT other people to have them. Why provoke everyone to get one? On the other hand, I was watching a video where the mom was picking up the kids from school with their ponies to ride home, and someone in the comments said that she would never do that. Do you know why? Because she was already being bullied at school for being a rich kid. 🤦♂ I think I was very lucky in school. People brought in new things - fancy pens, new sneakers (velcro was now coming in - that's how old I am. lol) and I felt bad because I didn't have those things. I wouldn't dare ask my parents to spend money like that (we weren't poor. middle class. but my mom always told us to be diligent with saving money). But one thing, nobody even teased anyone else for not having any of those items.
21:20 this is a personal opinion but wanting to cover your straw especially when it's out in the open or something makes sense to be honest. especially considering. yknow. the amount of THOSE kinds of people that get encountered in public who put stuff in others' drinks for disgusting reasons. So if i see a straw topper i'm really not going to think much of it.... however $10 for a little rubber topper that was created purely for aesthetics is HEINOUS 💀
18:08 This is the only thing that actually really makes sense. The ice cream stays isolated and you don't get cold hands from holding it. This is good for people who don't like to have cold hands. Though, a much smaller bottle or a regular thermo mug would do the same for less than $10.
I suppose she is going to eat the entire container at one sitting? Because I thought the same. That it was a very good idea but just a smaller mug please.
Or you could just scoop the ice cream with a spoon into a bowl that you use for cereal because you're not going to be eating the whole darn package at once. Like I've been doing for the past 20 years.
For the bouquets, I personally think they are kinda cute. The price makes sense when you take in mind no1 the Stanley cups themselves, the flowers, and the labor, all of that would add up to $80 minimum. Plus them you get some pretty flowers and a Stanley, keep in mind that no one is forcing you to buy it.
Reminds me of a time my grandma went into an opshop and found a good quality jacket going for $2, when she went to the counter they told her they priced it wrong and that it was actually $20. My nan told then that it says $2 so thats what she'll pay. She put $2 on the counter and walked out with the jacket. Salvos stores have increased their prices to where it's now boutique store prices. I avoid shopping there now. I don't know how charity shops can do that considering their customer base is low income. I once saw that they had marked an anko top for $5 more than what akno sells the top as. They're insane.
Dicks and Scheels always has a wall of Stanley’s available. The rush is always over specific colors and styles. The unique colors and the new coolers are still hard to get and selling for hundreds. Goodwill is horrible with prices now I’m sure whoever labeled them was unaware of the Stanley trend and mislabeled them. Goodwill has online sales of their more valuable items they usually never make it to the physical stores anymore. It’s just a big greedy corporation like any other. They also grossly underpay disabled workers through a wage loophole. It’s horrendous.
@@AJStarhiker just gotta hunt a little harder for them but they end up just being shuffled to a different part of the stores. Always remember you can order online for store pickup and have it waiting for you when you get there 🤩
@@Ask8613 I know I can order online, just prefer in person (porch thieves). And I've checked the cup/bottle/thermos section, camping, hunting... haven't checked fishing yet. Maybe I'll check Menards or see if Coleman has a decent thermos.
Yeah i saw two stanley cup at a thrift store for $5 each that my friend bought last month for $120 total. I'll be honest and say i teased her about it. 😅
One hopes you helped your friend to be cautious about jumping into trends in the future. And if she has trouble next time, just remind her about stanley cups. 😅
@@markusgorelli5278 Oh don't worry I tried my best to encourage her not to buy the Stanley cup especially after the lead issue. She refused to listen since "everyone has a Stanley cup"
I mean- Okay, the flower arrangements in the stanley cup KINDA make sense to me- Like if your GF Really wanted a stanley cup, you can either buy a cup and a bouquet separately, or have it set up in such a quirky way as a valentines gift... I agree that it looks ridiculous and costs WAY Too much, but, I can at least see the point of it... Coz like - if I saw a cute mug I know my GF wants, I would probably make this same thing too, would make the whole gifting process a bit easier-
My guy, do it by hand. Only buy it instead if she's just a fling, if she's a keeper, you do that shit by hand. Thoughtfulness goes much farther than the amount of money spent (if she ain't selfish).
@@Sebastian-Draegon Hah, Lucky my girlfriend isn't a stanley cup girl, so I would likely end up buying a cute mug for her and making something like this myself! Just saying that I can understand why some florist may have wanted to cash in on the idea, and that conceptually it is kinda cute!
i mean i have the blue stanley handle and i love it, i got it like 4 months after the trend and i literally love it bc im somehow drinking more water than usual w/ it
I can't use a regular glass due to tremors and grip issues, so I use sippy cups and water bottles with straws exclusively. I live in an area with a lot of brown recluse spiders, plus I just have a lot of allergies to various insects, so I like having containers that allow me to close the straw access. I also prefer them to be spill proof and sturdy for when I inevitably drop or yeet them during a spasm.
ya good, for you it makes perfect sense. same as i drink tea from a bottle with a straw that also has a cap (so straw can't leak if bottle falls). cuz i be clumsy with shaky asf hands. mine is cheap asf and i use it daily 😂 also helps to drink AT LEAST 600ml of water a day, cuz god damn i be always dehydrated otherwise
21:25 that’s actually a fear I have 😭 (bugs in my drink) it’s so severe that that straw topper wouldn’t even do nothing for me I have to be able to SEE my drink at all times 😭
the worst part about the starbucks orders is that (idk if it's the same everywhere) starbucks offers to make your drink in a cup you bring in...so they literally, if they wanted to, could have their drink in their damn stanley
They're probably the type of people who don't want to have to clean their cup out after they finish their drink though, even though that's the whole POINT of a reusable cup
18:41 How do they not know that they could just ASK the Starbucks employee to make the drink directly in their reusable takeaway cup?!? Why do they feel the need to have it put in the plastic cup first??? 🤦♀️
Stanley has been growing in popularity for over a couple of years already. But you just knew it was about to be uncool once little kids got into it. And that's not even taking into account that the people mobbing stores were mostly resellers.
the girl saying that someone needs to tell goodwill that this isn't the Stanley everyone wants was talking about the price not the cup specifically. she was commenting on how expensive the price was for a used item, and its not even the item everyone wants so it shouldn't be so overpriced.
They're just the equivalent of beanie babies at this point. Some people/stores are holding onto the notion that it is still an expensive collector's item. And others know its worth $2.00.
My mom got me a Stanley for Easter around 2 yrs ago when people first started talking about them which I am ofc thankful for. And everyone brought theirs to school so I brought mine to school bc it was a trend and I LOVE my Stanley but now I’m embarrassed to even use it or bring it anywhere bc people put stickers, pockets, trays, etc on their WATER BOTTLE. Now the only thing I “added” to my water bottle is a cover for the straw bc I saw a video of a spider in someone’s straw and got scared 💀 but besides that I don’t treat it like royalty. I only like my Stanley bc it keeps my water so cold it gives me a brain freeze which I love rlly cold water. And the people that act crazy when they drop their Stanley is so bad. I have a tiny scratch on mine and I shrugged it off bc in another year or two they will end up at the goodwill. At my school I don’t rlly fit in so I got one to fit in and got made fun of for bringing it. In class I would use the bathroom and come back to my Stanley across the room under a shelf or something. I’m only embarrassed to bring mine bc I got made fun of for bringing one and to stop it I stopped bringing it. I get that I prob sound like a pick me girl just bc I own a Stanley. I’m still going to drink out of my water bottle until it breaks in half or something. But seriously the straw cover thing I have a genuine fear of spiders and after seeing that video of a girl with a spider in her straw freaked me out. Especially knowing that my house has a ton of spiders that sneak in sometimes especially in the summer, my anxiety is rlly bad. I also got the straw thing for like 75 cents so it wasn’t too bad. I don’t see anybody bringing their Stanley anymore to my school bc everyone makes fun of them for having a popular water bottle. But it was nowhere to be seen after someone in our district at the middle school hit someone in the head and they had to be homeschooled for being in the ER. I love my Stanley, I didn’t buy it for the aesthetic, popularity, etc. I simply wanted to fit in and have a big water bottle to stay hydrated and keep my water cold. When I did bring mine to school, I drank two Stanley’s full of water by halfway through the day bc I loved it. But other than that, that’s why I’m embarrassed to bring it to schools bc of the bullying and people calling me a pick me just for owning a popular water bottle.
as someone who works retail, if that dude at 9:47 didn't put those damn boxes back and straighten them up after pushing them around and making the shelf look bad i'm gonna be so mad on the employees behalf
I hope that one girl who got bullied for having a Walmart cup is having the best time ever right now. Watching this unfold and it becoming her turn to laugh at the kids who ridiculed her for not having a Stanley.
Absolutely! I have 2 of them, the really big one and a smaller one. Bought them in the early 2000s and they still look great and work fine. Kept my coffee steaming hot for hours. Several of my friends who work construction also have them-a bit more beaten up (some of them have had their thermoses since the 70s and 80s) but still very functional.
@@uhura472 Yeah, I have the 1 liter and I absolutely love it! Tested by storing it at fridge temp for 24 hours, and the water was still hot the next day.
I hope the worst on their parents. The kid comes home with a new cup, how did they get it? If the parents somehow can't put two and two together and get their child to return stolen property, they shouldn't be parents.
The fact you think the girls buying the Stanley's at the thrift are actually ashamed to be an owner of a stanely makes me laugh, they didn't have to buy or own one if they felt so strongly about being "those people"
I own a Stanley cup,and i could care less.My dad got it for me for my birthday and i love it,he knew it was trending and bought it.He could've bought me a little plastic waterbottle and I'd still be grateful.
I would like to share a lesson from my psychology teacher on trends that explains why they are so ephemeral. Throughout history the nobility has always tried to distinguish itself from the plebs to create a sense of superiority. The plebs, wanting to be part of that elite, try to copy them. Unfortunately once everyone has that distinctive trait there is no way to distinguish the nobility and it changes again. She gave us the example of how once poor houses didn't have living rooms because they were useless but then the bourgeois wanting to copy the nobles made them enter all the houses. After Christmas everyone had a Stenly and so it lost its distinctive trait. And thanks to consumerism this circle will become increasingly narrower until these trends last even a few weeks if not days.
It makes sense. The weird thing to me is that none of these people look like they're "the nobles" lol. It's regular people buying this shit, I haven't seen many famous people in the trend who I would assume are this eras version of nobles but I also live under a rock by choice so they could be on It too
Sebastian has a point. I guess this time around it is the "influencers" on tik tok who are playing the role of the "nobles." Or maybe that entire theory needs to be revised. I remember reading in one of the Little House on the Prairie books, Laura's mom was making new dresses for the blind sister who was going to college. She was trying to source a recent edition of some Lady's book from the neighbors so she could find out what was the latest fashion. But how did the magazine ever decide what was the latest fashion? Probably just scramble up some random thing to fill the pages. lol. Ironically, the dining room in my house has little function as a dining room. It would actually be better if we just had the table alone because that is the only part of the set that we use. Eating happens either in the porch, the living room or a bedroom.
@@Sebastian-Draegon The theory focuses not so much on the sense of nobility but of superiority. people with a Stanley feel better than people who don't own one, it's pure narcissism. But I like the part where you compare the influencers to the nobles because to a certain extent it's true the nobles were a bit like the influencers of the past just think of Marie Antoinette who decided the fashion of all of Paris.
What’s even worse about that reseller couple that “found” the Stanley’s at target, I’ve seen other videos of them “finding” stashed Stanley’s at a TJ Maxx which was definitely faked. Which means they brought their own Stanley’s into TJ Maxx to make it look like they got a lucky find. That’s sad
I got a fake Stanley for Christmas and being the outsider type, I had no idea that h the is cup was in, so I was just like “whatever” and figured that I’d never use it. Now I use it a lot, but because I can stay hydrated at home. My mom had to explain to me that tumblers like that were trendy. My mom is 56
ur so lucky i was in my art elective (and these kids don't look interested in arts but only picked it to escape the other electives) and this whole ROW was filled with their big ass stanleys
I stopped shopping at Goodwill a long time ago. I also stopped donating there. First of all, they've gotten super picky about what they take. It has to pretty much look brand new. And then they charge outrageous prices.
When you said that people are treating Stanley Cups as bags, I thought you meant they accessorize them like bags, WHEN YOU PULLED THE VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL STANLEY WEARING A BAG my jaw was on the FLOOR
I got a Stanley for Christmas, and I honestly like it. I'm not one to be a HUGE trend follower, but I liked the bright colors they came in. It keeps my water freezing cold and I can use it easily at bed when I get that 3 am thirst for freezing cold water. I'm going to be using mine long after the "trend" ends 😁
I think the point of the Stanley cup bouquet is meant to be like “happy Valentine’s Day, love! I got you flowers AND a Stanley cup!” But there’s multiple issues with this. 1. It literally has lead in it 2. It’s not aesthetic at all. It looks ridiculous and like it’s unbelievably easy to knock over. 3. You can buy a Stanley cup, a bouquet of flowers, and a straw topper- making it yourself and saving money. Buy a $45 cup, buy a $10 bouquet of flowers, and a $5 straw topper then fill the cup with water. Add the cost of tax and enjoy your (lead filled) Stanley bouquet for $63, literally half of what these florists were charging. And 4. You could buy a much more special, custom, and personal Valentine’s Day gift for your partner with $125. So why spend it on this? Why spend $125 on flowers that’ll die and a cup with lead in it instead of a long-term gift that will mean so much more to your partner?
Normally I agree with your takes... but the flower thing is pretty normal. i used to work in a florist shop and a sizable portion of the price is for the vase/vessel. Its a combination gift, you get the boquet and then you have the cup. No different than a nice vase or a cute basket. Same concept as those succulents that come in cute little mugs.
yeah same. and i honestly think the cute accessories are okay on the cups as well, as long as theyre not constantly consuming for no reason. if you will continue to use your stanley and you really do bring it everywhere, then why not put keychains on it? id love to decorate my water bottle with keychains cus i love my water bottle
I think the Stanley accessories are just ways for people to subconsciously try and justify the amount of money they spent on the cup, but just causes them to spend more money, so the cycle continues.
i feel so bad for the kid who got theirs stolen. i really really hope the school took action or the thief owned up, but even that doesn't fix the mental wound of having that stolen. i hope they're doing okay :(
All 2000s kids should remember snackee’s. I’m surprised it didn’t get the same amount of hype that Stanley’s got. It was more efficient at holding snacks and drinks at the same time unlike the Stanley’s which is a bowling pin ready to knock over your food at anytime.
honestly like the idea of putting a small pocket on it, so u dont have to worry about a handbag or something, and the accessories also can make it more pleasurable to drink from if you have issues with dehydration (I got these issues and a pretty bottle really did kinda save me - Its not an Owala or Stanley though), and the floral arrangement also is kind cute in my opinion, but there are surely better vases and other containers to put flower into :D
I just hope the micro-trends stop soon. The amount of ppl who shamed these Stanley cups users… no wondered they are embarrassed and throwing them away. WHY CANT PPL JUST LET THEM BE😭 I hope no one else throw those expensive cups away
@@Sebastian-Draegon I was hesitant on giving the information but it’s InspiredBows I think on like Etsy and Amazon Handmade 😭 she also has a website I think
I miss when water bottle stickers were cheap, like a dollar or under maybe 2 depending on the size, but I just spent 6 dollars on a tiny water bottle stick at a store
I'm imagining the Stanley shareholders being like: 😬 We're gonna have a record year again, right guys? Right? Jokes aside, trends like these must be nightmare for any business. It's uncontrollable and unpredictable. One day you're ramping up production as much as you can to keep shelves stocked when you don't even understand the sudden fixation, the next day absolutely nobody wants your stuff and sales come to a standstill while the production facilities are still running. Insanity.
you think thats bad? being a company in a world where consolidating wealth is incentivized over spreading it, means you are permanently in a situation where you will have less and less disposable income available to purchase anything. aka a perpetual loss situation. but hey, our system demands all wealth get reconsolidated back into the hands of monarchs, so we have to do that lmfao
@@dudono1744 they don't know how long the trend will last, if you make too many they go to waste/storage or sold for less but that makes or other products look "cheap", on the other hand if you don't make/have enough you get scammers/scalpers who then resell as many as they can for an insane mark up you also have people who will go to far as the will fight each other over the product and that makes the company look bad
Oh they’re still popular. They released new colors in December 2024 and people were running to get them. I got a cup for nearly free from my mobile provider as well as using a reusable fast food cup (Wendy’s) to make sure I drink enough water. I am not spending $50 to $100 then more money on accessories for a Stanley cup at full price.
In my opinion they fell off partly because everyone has it now. It was only popular because of its “exclusivity” . From what I’ve seen once everyone has something it no longer is cool because it’s so common .
Animism is actually pretty common. Sometimes it's a religious aspect but other times it's to feel connected to the world. Sometimes people actively choose animism and other times it just kind of happens. People often get attached to items they use everyday such as a car, computer or toy. It's easy to start attributing personalities to these objects and sometimes we even name said objects. A good thing is that we will tend to treat our items with kindness and care if we attribute personality to them... But on the other hand, we can end up hoarding items more easily. It's all pretty individual (duh haha).
I think it's a pretty good opportunity to get the cup for cheap though. Just because the 'trend' is over, doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty good quality cup, and if you need a good water bottle it's a steal.
i have an olivia rodrigo stanley cup and i dont use it for the “AeStEhTiCs” i use it becuase i like how it keeps my water cold for two days 💀 i dont use it to show off i use it for what i actually need it for and i dont decorate it to make it cute like the hell-
People do this every time a trend die so they don’t have to admit to themselves that they wasted a crazy amount of money and time on something stupid. So they dress them up “ repurpose” them.
@@Meow4B the trick to keep stuff warm is to put hot water in 1st empty it and then coffee (based off what a family friend told me) also sry to hear that about your Dad you have my condolences for what it's worth...
I'd rather have the thermos, too. I've borrowed my dad's and much prefer something I can seal and toss in a backpack than a cup that will spill everywhere as soon as it tips.
It's a cup! Give me a break. My daughter has one. She is made to use it now for volleyball practise because they are big enough to hold enough water for practise. She knows it's out of style, but I don't give a rat's behind. She's going to use it since I bought it for her for Christmas last year. We will absolutely not waste a perfectly good cup just because the trend is over.

The disabled girl getting her water bottle stolen at school by another kid is genuinely heartbreaking. It probably took her mom forever to find a water bottle that suited her daughter’s needs, only for it to get stolen by another kid who probably knew that she was intellectually disabled and decided to exploit that for her own gain.
I agree heartbreaking 💔 I understand I myself who has anxiety 😥 poor girl got something of joy ripped from her
I really hope that the kid feels at least guilty or the parents took it away from them. Stealing it from a disabled kid is just too far.
Yeah this is a prime example of our world going to shit!
@@avp_youtubefeel bad? who do you think they got their minds set from? 😂
@@avp_youtube I hope the parents of the kid who stole the cup punished them. You shouldn’t be stealing from anyone let alone someone who’s intellectually disabled!
As a blue-collar guy, I was really confused when I first saw people freaking out about Stanley. Many a trade worker has been keeping their coffee hot in a green Stanley thermos for decades. All of a sudden, every suburban woman was frothing at the mouth over the brand. It was baffling lol.
I have to give it to Stanley, they knew how to get a new market. Shame that it probably means that you can't get one of the old ones for cheap anymore
I have what used to be my dad's work thermos that green hammered finish with the cup lid. It's probably circa 1960 era.
@@dawnliphard9591 i'm still using the one my dad used when he was trucking back in the 80s and 90s. been on field trips, camping trips, work trips... if it ain't broke, don't replace it
I know exactly the one. It kept my dad’s coffee warm in the NAVY. When I told my husband about the Stanley cups he got excited because he thought people were suddenly hype about hockey.
I love that thermos! My dad would fill it with hot coco and bring it on ski trips and it was always still piping hot. When I first saw the stanley trend I was like “oh I have that!”
Love how the Stanley’s lasted a month before people threw them out bc the trend ended/lead accusations and yet I’ve still got the same water bottle i had three years ago
LMAO YES I HAVE LIKE 6 WATER BOTTLES BUT I'VE USED THEM SINCE LIKE G1
Same. Had mine for over five years and it doesn’t leak and keeps my stuff cold for almost 2 days. Think the brand is Manna. Was $20. Even got a dent in it and still keeps stuff cold. And has a cool handle from the top.
I had the same water bottle from 2013 to 2019, and it was a fucklng Exploitalife giveaway my mom participated in, only stopped using it after it fell and broke 😂
If an exploitalife plastic bottle can last that long a god damn Stanley can last longer 😂
Because people love the trend not the cup. 😂
FR i had the same one for FIVE years and some people are buying 50- or 60-dollar Stanley cups.
This is so stupid. I've never seen grown people act like spoiled children. It's a cup !

@@ReineDeLaSeine14don’t forget when people were brawling over Tickle Me Elmo, lol

I purchased a hydro flask after it was recommended to me by a friend because it's super reliable. and pretty tough. I had a real-life human being come up and tell me that my hydro flask is ugly and I should have gotten a Stanley cup... what even are humans anymore?

You said it. I have kids at my high school who knocked and sh0t a kid for a cup. Talk about extreme😱😱😱💀💀💀

Once your parents think a product is 'cool' it instantly becomes 'uncool'. Before SM it took parents a lot longer to catch on.
The funny thing is, I was seeing older women (mom pages and home decor/renovation influencers) with Stanley cups way before all of this in like 2017. So all these trendy weirdos are late anyway.
I am a parent, and evrything that is considered "cool" will not enter my house, ever!! Because most cool stuff isnt cool for a very long time, its just the clever way it is marketed so people will fall for it and spend their money on useless and expensive products. I'm happy to say i brought up my kids with common sense.
that's funny because my mom bought a fake stanley(because she knew about the lead in the cups) right when the trend started to die down
@@stardust2938I agree. Cool things are just elaborate marketing schemes to get sheep youth with underdeveloped brains to spend money on things they don’t need.
Suddenly reminded of that chinpokomon episode from South Park
as a canadian, i was so confused when hearing about this for the first time, because the "stanley cup" is an extremely prestigious hockey award
From a canadian to another, i'm pretty sure everyone knows what a hockey stanley cup is (ALSO HAIDA PFP REAL)
I'm not Canadian but even I associate the words "Stanley Cup" with hockey. That's why when I heard about this weird fad, I thought people were swarming ticket offices to hockey events. Then I was very surprised to find out it was the insulated mug! I don't understand TikTok trends and fads. My 9 year old Sigg water bottle works perfectly fine and never leaks. I heard the Stanley mugs aren't even watertight and will leak slowly if they fall on their side. What a dumb waste of money!
@@largol33t12my husband thought the same thing about hockey and was very disappointed to find out it was a fad.
I still use my old nalgene that I got at a summer camp from childhood. Or I use disposable bottles. We can’t drink the water in my area without boiling.
I'm not even Canadian, so for awhile I thought the preppy girls in my school where all of a sudden interested in Hockey.
when people called them "stanleys" I was confused because we call Stanley knifes, stanleys in the UK
That reminds me, goodwill is kind of a wild place.
That cashier defo lied about the "$20 pricing mistake" on the cup, but outside of Australia, employees can hide or take items they like before customers.
What the hell ??
and now you know how all those miraculous finds/deals videos made about thrift shops actually happen. those items get reserved for specific people, who basically pay a subscription fee to the owners/managers to let them get the best stuff. gotta make sure those poor people never have a single opportunity to actually get a profitable return on investment.
@@lynnfromthetin scalpers did that. but 25 - 45 dollars for them is still a minimum of 2500 % of its production cost. sometimes companies find ways to drop production costs to below zero, but its usually through slavery and government subsidy. ooooh - fun fact! - there isnt a single company in any eurocentric country that can operate without being heavily subsidized by everyone elses tax dollars...
Goodwill sometimes doesn't price luxury gods high enough and when someone finds a good deal its a crapshoot if they will be allowed to buy it or it will be redirected to the online auctions
Yep, I’m from Canada and we do mandatory community service in hs, I did some of mine volunteering at a goodwill and all the workers did this stuff (Hiding items and marking prices up for things they wanted for themselves so no one else would buy them)
Honestly using it as a flower vase is the better option of all. Rather than having a full wall of bottle collecting dust, they are now holding water as they intended and flowersto be pretty around the house
@irina-ty1336 NICE PFP!!!!!!!!!
Perfect idea. It’s a way to reuse it without pushing it beyond its limits.
I like this perspective - if you're gonna have tons of cups to the point that it's counterproductive, at least make them do something that looks nice and is semi functional 😅
I was going to say... Plus, if there's anyone like me, I don't buy flowers enough to keep using the vases I get, so they just end up under my sink taking up space. At least this way the "vase" has multiple uses.
Do you think she doesn't know that we do arrangements in mugs as well. 😂
The Stanley touching on the floor is so dumb you know why?
Fun fact: every product you touch in the store has been on the floor at some point. Weither its from stocking, other customers moving things around, falling onto the floor, etc. Every product in the store you touch has been touched by a hundred strangers and been on the floor. Thats why you should wash and clean some of your products when you get home.
THIS like who wouldnt wash a piece of dishware before use??
@@lisa_vxng exactly!
I thought hydro flasks were annoying but now I’m starting to regret ever thinking badly abt them, bc at least the VSCO girls weren’t this insane… I knew a girl who had a hydroflask during its hype and it was dented all over yet she kept using it bc that’s the whole purpose of it.. it’s reusable
Oh, lord… I had forgotten about those VSCO’s.
Save the turtles sksksksk and I oops

I’m so glad the vsco girl stuff died down so quickly

I’m laughing for so many reasons at these people. Also, Goodwill has been jacking up prices for years, and for ages they’ve taken great advantage of a federal loophole that allows them to pay their disabled employees way less than minimum wage.
@@Meow4BI think you’re definitely right about the goodwill employee. If she would have been in charge of labeling/stocking, it would have never even made it to the shelf. And yep, you’re also right about honoring the price.
How despicable this whole thing is.
@@ColdCreekBFederal loophole to pay disabled employees less than minimum wage? What the heck is that? That’s horrible. The governments really don’t care about anybody do they?
They have quite the enterprise going there. They have all of their inventory donated to them, then sell the inventory for a profit.
@@vanillapinkfluff3477it's legal as long as the government signs a piece of paper that says you can and yeah it's disgusting. Good will is not the only place that does this either, a lot of "sheltered workshops" do it too and they'll frame it as charity because "this is their only change at employment". It's sick but most people don't care about the rights of disabled people, even though disability is really common and it's also only minority that anyone can enter at any time. Basically goodwill sucks but I still shop there because when you need cheap clothes you need cheap clothes. I'm tired
@@vanillapinkfluff3477This is why I don't tell any employers that I'm autistic.
16:25 this reminds me or one time when a kid from my school stole someone else’s Stanley and began literally DRINKING out of it during school. Once she was confronted about it she just gave it back like it was nothing 😭
This is something that drives me nuts. They are a reusable cup to cut down on waste. People decide to collect anywhere from a few of their favorite colors to dozens of them. Then a few months later throw them all out??
Yeah, it's seems that it backfired. People always will find ways to screw up original ideas.
Yeah, like why throw them out when you can use them?
honestly disgusting
@ville__ why are you commenting about child 🌽 on all of Hayley's videos, like srsly
People have officially lost their minds
Honestly that's something I don't understand: If your kid comes home with a new item, you know that your kid stole it from someone. How is it that these parents don't bring it back to the school but are obviously fine if their kid steals from others? They see their kid walk around with someone else's things and are ok with it. It makes me so angry.
counter point, Parents ask kid where they got that kid says a friend gave it to them.
Some parents don't care and are passing on their entitlement to their kids. Look at ipad parents who refuse to actually be parents and then blame teachers for not being surrogate parents. Not too far fetched to think their entitlement could extend to theft
@@ghoulchan7525 And the parent doesn't bother to check? Or at least to say thank you to the parents of the kid who aparently "gifted" something so expensive to them?
@@KK-rj7ij that's also true. but yeah. some parents will just go "oh ok," also if the parent never asks for the kids name.
Counter point: they hid it from their parents or they told their parents the parents bought it (gaslighted them) because they have so many stanleys already so the parents forget which they did buy.

Only the Stanley cups don’t seem to be that great quality either. 🤔
that poor kid who got their cup stolen is actually beyond heartbreaking to me...... im autistic and i absolutely understand the importance of having a specific type of water bottle for my specific set of needs and to have that TAKEN from me... i hope whoever's bratty ass kid that stole that cup gets fucking laughed out of that school for what they did cause i know if id been that kid id be in such a state at losing something of mine thats as important as a water bottle.. i remember some guy took my plain eraser once in middle school and i was so upset about it being gone simply because it was MY eraser that id been using all school year.. i couldve easily gotten a new one but the difference was just that id been always using that one so it had some sort of sentimental value to me that i couldnt just replicate..... it seems silly and small to most people, but it really isnt to us.
I have adhd and i usually misplace things (Mainly my water-bottles) and i feel so bad for that kid aswell especially sense maybe with a bit more time the kid would've found it and it was such a high value item. Its sad to think the other bratty kid just had to steal it.
the eraser thing is me with everything i have lol
THE ERASER THING HAPPENED AT SCHOOL AND I WAS SO CONFUSED OF WHY I WAS CRYING BC OF IT (it was randomly gifted by my friend but wasnt like a huge big of a deal and ive been using it a long time so it mustve been the sentimental value) also somebody stole my pencil ive been using FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, GIFTED BT MY FRIEND, A GOOD PENCIL I REALLT LIKED, and i cried so bad ive mustve looked insane
As another autistic person, I heavily relate to the eraser thing. Whenever I lose a favorite pencil or just a pencil I use often I get really upset, though I always hide the fact that it made me upset because a lot of people don't really understand it since it's just a pencil.
Also kinda reminds me of the time where my candy wrapper collection disappeared (I think my grandma threw it away) and I had a meltdown🧍♀️
Same, I was bawling when my favorite sweater disappeared.

The thrift became gentrified due to the same people who hoard Stanley cups. When it became trendy, which is bizarre to me because i was bullied for wearing second hand...
They started to buy "vintage" and brand name, and they started advertising all over social media about how much money they made selling these thrifted items on ebay, depop, etsy ect
And the companies saw it all. Due to them. Price increases are due partly because of influencers advertising that they make money from it.
I was lucky to get some thrifted addidas as a child. Good luck now due to the resellers
Yeah resellers are gross they make it hard for people who actually need the things that are in thrift shops
This kind of reminds me of when I used to wear a (second hand) three striped Adidas Jogger to PE and got bullied for it. Then a few years later it was the absolute trend item (and still kind of is) and suddenly everyone wore it. Same with my thick eyebrows. Trends are just stupid man
@Jaguarkralle1 yes. Same here, thick eyebrows, freckles, curvy lower body... all things that became trendy after lots of us were bullied for them.
@@Jaguarkralle1I've had super-full lips my whole life, & I was made fun of as a child! I was ashamed, & wouldn't even wear lipstick til I got older. Then, sev yrs ago, ppl started paying $ to get bigger lips, & now everyone is pumping filler & crap into their faces & lips! At 53, I now feel weird bc I figure ppl may think I've actually spent hard-earned $ on my lips, yet I would NEVER inject crap into my face! So, once again, even tho big lips are now 'cool', I STILL feel weird about something I've never had control over. I'm just grateful to not have spent $$$ on something so stupid, & hope the trend goes away. Believe me, at some point, most ppl outgrow following trends. One of the best things about getting older is that you truly stop caring what others think. I never bought a Stanley either, btw, & kinda feel bad for ppl who think they have to fit in. Live n let live!
@@trishgels people don't think you have lip filler. It's very obvious when someone does (e.g. imbalanced lip ratio, unnatural cupids bow, filler migration, lumpiness, lack of lines on lips, upper lip line protrusion creating mustache effect, etc.) People can live in denial but the fake thing will never touch the real deal.
There was a girl in my class who named her Stanley, and she and her friends talked about it enough that they convinced the substitute teacher that ‘Bethany’ was a real person
The only thing that I can say: Don't follow trends, they only cost you money and/or your health. And for that cup: It's ugly and too large.
Right? Its shape is soooo impractical
Sometimes it's good to keep an eye on trends. If there's a product you want that's trendy, you can wait for the trend to die and prices to plummet. I might buy a Stanley cup now that they're so cheap everywhere.

I used to think that gen z was pretty anti-trend (I am gen z), and then I realized that being anti-trend or alternative was just a 2020 trend. I discovered my favorite styles in 2020 and I'm still wearing them.
It’s funny. I was born in ‘97, and most of my friends are pretty close to that as well. Technically, we are members of gen z, but we’re on the higher end. None of us ever felt the need to follow trends or even have a TikTok. I don’t doubt that there are exceptions out there, but it seems to me that most gen z members who follow these trends are the ones who are towards the middle or lower end of the generation, which was around the time smartphones blew up.
Also being apart of gen z I love laughing at other people of our generation who indulge in these ridiculous trends to “look cool” but I also feel really bad that social media especially TikTok has brainwashed our generation and generations after us to partake in these trends. It’s dumbing people down and people are letting it happen to not only them but also their children 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️

I just feel like the internet was really where the trouble that Hayley harps on went beyond typical playground bullying or workplace gossip. I don’t really follow trends, but I do spend a good deal of time on the internet (probably more than I should at times, so I’m not perfect either). I hope I don’t come off as being high and mighty. That wasn’t what I was going for. If you have the courage to do something different from most people, good on ya!
@@alexanderkelsey-gi4qnI was born in '99 and I've never really cared for trends. I just like what I like. I actually get sad when things I like are a trend because I have to pay more and try harder to find them 😂 (Littlest Pet Shop is a prime example. I love them for the nostalgia)
18:56 as a Starbucks barista… in America, they could save the disposable plastic cup and request for their drink to be made inside their Stanley… just wasting more plastic.
Someone else in comments said so but wasn't sure if it was everywhere. Thanks for mentioning it.
plus youd probs get tad more in the stanley then the plastic cup i do this with my durarara themed reusable cup iv had 6 years now i order a medium and u basically get a medium and a half
That’s good to know. I don’t buy Starbucks, but I’ll probably see if I can try that at other cafes.
How is it wasting plastic
Here in Canada if you go to Tim’s with a reusable cup it’s cheaper!

Phew. I've been drinking out of Stanley tumblers for years, so it's a relief to know my dinged up caffeine bucket and I are back to being uncool. The stars have realigned, there is no longer a disturbance in the force, and I'm a weird nerd once again. 😌
In my opinion the coolest people are those who think that they are uncool while being one of the most precious and amazing creatures in the world. We are all equal, but we are not the same and that's beautiful. Thank you for being unique, fellow netizen ❤

The hell my friend's family did something similar
My friend was doing a photography GCSE and his parents got him TWO CAMERAS that he just... Didn't use. They were EXPENSIVE too, proper nice Sony cameras and he just ended up not liking his course so they gave both to me?? Because "you like photography right?"
a lawyer who buys a lot of unnecessary shit and falls for marketing tricks? Aren't lawyers supposed to be... well... smart?
Dude my biggest flex in life will be that I never bought a Stanley cup! It was never pretty looking to me, which is fine people can like different things... But what wasn't fine was when kids started getting BULLIES for not having that cup... That's when I chose to make fun of those people, as a kid that grew up extremely poor it actually made me cry that these babies were bullied for not having like 80 bucks for a cup... Even though I'm 26 now and I only work a part time job because I'm doing university too, I still have a couple thousand euros saved up and since I never spend money on anything for myself, I would be able to buy it, but in my mind I'm still poor so I was like hell nah... I used to never ask my parents for more than one snack that was like 30 cents (Converted from the Serbian the Currency into dollars) 2 a month when we went grocery shopping, because I knew how poor we were and I never wanted to make my parents feel bad for not having more money, because they still gave me everything I needed and my childhood was still beautiful.... So I can't imagine how fucking hard it must be to get BULLIED because your family isn't privileged enough..
Best wishes to you on your Uni journey. Your story is so relatable to mine!
I feel this
I have 2… one that was gifted after the new big thing and the other is over 25 years old.
I straight up didn’t want one
I honestly don't understand the bullying part. The bragging and showing off sure. But having status symbols means you don't actually WANT other people to have them. Why provoke everyone to get one? On the other hand, I was watching a video where the mom was picking up the kids from school with their ponies to ride home, and someone in the comments said that she would never do that. Do you know why? Because she was already being bullied at school for being a rich kid. 🤦♂ I think I was very lucky in school. People brought in new things - fancy pens, new sneakers (velcro was now coming in - that's how old I am. lol) and I felt bad because I didn't have those things. I wouldn't dare ask my parents to spend money like that (we weren't poor. middle class. but my mom always told us to be diligent with saving money). But one thing, nobody even teased anyone else for not having any of those items.
21:20 this is a personal opinion but wanting to cover your straw especially when it's out in the open or something makes sense to be honest. especially considering. yknow. the amount of THOSE kinds of people that get encountered in public who put stuff in others' drinks for disgusting reasons. So if i see a straw topper i'm really not going to think much of it.... however $10 for a little rubber topper that was created purely for aesthetics is HEINOUS 💀
right! and i saw straw toppers in target for cheaper 😭
or just be normal and get a water bottle meant for travel and not a mug meant for home use
The process:
Popular>overconsumption>popular for a week>throw it out>repeat
18:08 This is the only thing that actually really makes sense. The ice cream stays isolated and you don't get cold hands from holding it. This is good for people who don't like to have cold hands. Though, a much smaller bottle or a regular thermo mug would do the same for less than $10.
I suppose she is going to eat the entire container at one sitting? Because I thought the same. That it was a very good idea but just a smaller mug please.
Or you could just scoop the ice cream with a spoon into a bowl that you use for cereal because you're not going to be eating the whole darn package at once. Like I've been doing for the past 20 years.
For the bouquets, I personally think they are kinda cute. The price makes sense when you take in mind no1 the Stanley cups themselves, the flowers, and the labor, all of that would add up to $80 minimum. Plus them you get some pretty flowers and a Stanley, keep in mind that no one is forcing you to buy it.
Reminds me of a time my grandma went into an opshop and found a good quality jacket going for $2, when she went to the counter they told her they priced it wrong and that it was actually $20. My nan told then that it says $2 so thats what she'll pay. She put $2 on the counter and walked out with the jacket.
Salvos stores have increased their prices to where it's now boutique store prices. I avoid shopping there now. I don't know how charity shops can do that considering their customer base is low income.
I once saw that they had marked an anko top for $5 more than what akno sells the top as. They're insane.
Good on your grandma for standing her ground and just walking out.
Dicks and Scheels always has a wall of Stanley’s available. The rush is always over specific colors and styles. The unique colors and the new coolers are still hard to get and selling for hundreds. Goodwill is horrible with prices now I’m sure whoever labeled them was unaware of the Stanley trend and mislabeled them. Goodwill has online sales of their more valuable items they usually never make it to the physical stores anymore. It’s just a big greedy corporation like any other. They also grossly underpay disabled workers through a wage loophole. It’s horrendous.
What pissed me off most is, as the cup crazy took off, the thermoses vanished from shelves.
@@AJStarhiker just gotta hunt a little harder for them but they end up just being shuffled to a different part of the stores. Always remember you can order online for store pickup and have it waiting for you when you get there 🤩
@@Ask8613 I know I can order online, just prefer in person (porch thieves). And I've checked the cup/bottle/thermos section, camping, hunting... haven't checked fishing yet. Maybe I'll check Menards or see if Coleman has a decent thermos.
@@AJStarhiker no I mean you can order online and pick up at the store. No porch thieves or waiting for days. You can pick it up in like an hour
fr that one girl who said she saw a knockoff at goodwill therefore stanleys going out of style... ok girl lol 🥴
Just imagine the grief that the employee felt when he had to check out the same cups he hid earlier that day from that couple
Yeah i saw two stanley cup at a thrift store for $5 each that my friend bought last month for $120 total. I'll be honest and say i teased her about it. 😅
That's an awesome deal, also my brain is now focused on 120 = 5!
I'm a bad friend, I would have too
One hopes you helped your friend to be cautious about jumping into trends in the future. And if she has trouble next time, just remind her about stanley cups. 😅
@@markusgorelli5278 Oh don't worry I tried my best to encourage her not to buy the Stanley cup especially after the lead issue. She refused to listen since "everyone has a Stanley cup"
I mean- Okay, the flower arrangements in the stanley cup KINDA make sense to me-
Like if your GF Really wanted a stanley cup, you can either buy a cup and a bouquet separately, or have it set up in such a quirky way as a valentines gift...
I agree that it looks ridiculous and costs WAY Too much, but, I can at least see the point of it... Coz like - if I saw a cute mug I know my GF wants, I would probably make this same thing too, would make the whole gifting process a bit easier-
My guy, do it by hand. Only buy it instead if she's just a fling, if she's a keeper, you do that shit by hand. Thoughtfulness goes much farther than the amount of money spent (if she ain't selfish).
@@Sebastian-Draegon Hah, Lucky my girlfriend isn't a stanley cup girl, so I would likely end up buying a cute mug for her and making something like this myself! Just saying that I can understand why some florist may have wanted to cash in on the idea, and that conceptually it is kinda cute!
or you can just buy her a bouquet and not a cup if people are embarrassed to have them
@@bellatrixxyt Well NOW yea, but ya know I was talking within the context of the video
i mean i have the blue stanley handle and i love it, i got it like 4 months after the trend and i literally love it bc im somehow drinking more water than usual w/ it
Can we just all give up on trends 😭✨
Like fr
If it would be that easy.
@@strayedgoddessmad?
@@strayedgoddess cry about it
Amen 😭
I can't use a regular glass due to tremors and grip issues, so I use sippy cups and water bottles with straws exclusively. I live in an area with a lot of brown recluse spiders, plus I just have a lot of allergies to various insects, so I like having containers that allow me to close the straw access. I also prefer them to be spill proof and sturdy for when I inevitably drop or yeet them during a spasm.
ya good, for you it makes perfect sense. same as i drink tea from a bottle with a straw that also has a cap (so straw can't leak if bottle falls). cuz i be clumsy with shaky asf hands. mine is cheap asf and i use it daily 😂 also helps to drink AT LEAST 600ml of water a day, cuz god damn i be always dehydrated otherwise
21:25 that’s actually a fear I have 😭 (bugs in my drink) it’s so severe that that straw topper wouldn’t even do nothing for me I have to be able to SEE my drink at all times 😭
Same and i always check before drinking
this just proves that some people are incapable of enjoying anything unless someone else likes it
the worst part about the starbucks orders is that (idk if it's the same everywhere) starbucks offers to make your drink in a cup you bring in...so they literally, if they wanted to, could have their drink in their damn stanley
They're probably the type of people who don't want to have to clean their cup out after they finish their drink though, even though that's the whole POINT of a reusable cup
18:41 How do they not know that they could just ASK the Starbucks employee to make the drink directly in their reusable takeaway cup?!? Why do they feel the need to have it put in the plastic cup first??? 🤦♀️
Stanley has been growing in popularity for over a couple of years already. But you just knew it was about to be uncool once little kids got into it. And that's not even taking into account that the people mobbing stores were mostly resellers.
the girl saying that someone needs to tell goodwill that this isn't the Stanley everyone wants was talking about the price not the cup specifically. she was commenting on how expensive the price was for a used item, and its not even the item everyone wants so it shouldn't be so overpriced.
They're just the equivalent of beanie babies at this point. Some people/stores are holding onto the notion that it is still an expensive collector's item. And others know its worth $2.00.
My mom got me a Stanley for Easter around 2 yrs ago when people first started talking about them which I am ofc thankful for. And everyone brought theirs to school so I brought mine to school bc it was a trend and I LOVE my Stanley but now I’m embarrassed to even use it or bring it anywhere bc people put stickers, pockets, trays, etc on their WATER BOTTLE. Now the only thing I “added” to my water bottle is a cover for the straw bc I saw a video of a spider in someone’s straw and got scared 💀 but besides that I don’t treat it like royalty. I only like my Stanley bc it keeps my water so cold it gives me a brain freeze which I love rlly cold water. And the people that act crazy when they drop their Stanley is so bad. I have a tiny scratch on mine and I shrugged it off bc in another year or two they will end up at the goodwill. At my school I don’t rlly fit in so I got one to fit in and got made fun of for bringing it. In class I would use the bathroom and come back to my Stanley across the room under a shelf or something. I’m only embarrassed to bring mine bc I got made fun of for bringing one and to stop it I stopped bringing it. I get that I prob sound like a pick me girl just bc I own a Stanley. I’m still going to drink out of my water bottle until it breaks in half or something. But seriously the straw cover thing I have a genuine fear of spiders and after seeing that video of a girl with a spider in her straw freaked me out. Especially knowing that my house has a ton of spiders that sneak in sometimes especially in the summer, my anxiety is rlly bad. I also got the straw thing for like 75 cents so it wasn’t too bad. I don’t see anybody bringing their Stanley anymore to my school bc everyone makes fun of them for having a popular water bottle. But it was nowhere to be seen after someone in our district at the middle school hit someone in the head and they had to be homeschooled for being in the ER. I love my Stanley, I didn’t buy it for the aesthetic, popularity, etc. I simply wanted to fit in and have a big water bottle to stay hydrated and keep my water cold. When I did bring mine to school, I drank two Stanley’s full of water by halfway through the day bc I loved it. But other than that, that’s why I’m embarrassed to bring it to schools bc of the bullying and people calling me a pick me just for owning a popular water bottle.
as someone who works retail, if that dude at 9:47 didn't put those damn boxes back and straighten them up after pushing them around and making the shelf look bad i'm gonna be so mad on the employees behalf
lol. I'm not in retail but I thought the same. Geez guy, put back the boxes where you found them please.
I hope that one girl who got bullied for having a Walmart cup is having the best time ever right now.
Watching this unfold and it becoming her turn to laugh at the kids who ridiculed her for not having a Stanley.
15:14, naw the kids in the back of the car are genuinely concerned for their mom
7:45 Uh, that Stanley thermos they tried to throw shade at is legendary, and not a trend item. They've been the same for 111 years. Take a seat!
Absolutely! I have 2 of them, the really big one and a smaller one. Bought them in the early 2000s and they still look great and work fine. Kept my coffee steaming hot for hours. Several of my friends who work construction also have them-a bit more beaten up (some of them have had their thermoses since the 70s and 80s) but still very functional.
@@uhura472 Yeah, I have the 1 liter and I absolutely love it! Tested by storing it at fridge temp for 24 hours, and the water was still hot the next day.

This is why
Imagine being ashamed about something you actually enjoy out of the trend bc the trend is over... can't relate
I literally hope the worst on the kid who stole a DISABLED KID'S STANLEY CUP!
it was so heartbreaking hearing the story 😢
I hope the worst on their parents. The kid comes home with a new cup, how did they get it? If the parents somehow can't put two and two together and get their child to return stolen property, they shouldn't be parents.
@@chairliftphilospher5710 your so right. I really, REALLY, hope that the kids got their Stanley back so way or another :(
The fact you think the girls buying the Stanley's at the thrift are actually ashamed to be an owner of a stanely makes me laugh, they didn't have to buy or own one if they felt so strongly about being "those people"
I own a Stanley cup,and i could care less.My dad got it for me for my birthday and i love it,he knew it was trending and bought it.He could've bought me a little plastic waterbottle and I'd still be grateful.
I would like to share a lesson from my psychology teacher on trends that explains why they are so ephemeral. Throughout history the nobility has always tried to distinguish itself from the plebs to create a sense of superiority. The plebs, wanting to be part of that elite, try to copy them. Unfortunately once everyone has that distinctive trait there is no way to distinguish the nobility and it changes again. She gave us the example of how once poor houses didn't have living rooms because they were useless but then the bourgeois wanting to copy the nobles made them enter all the houses. After Christmas everyone had a Stenly and so it lost its distinctive trait. And thanks to consumerism this circle will become increasingly narrower until these trends last even a few weeks if not days.
It makes sense. The weird thing to me is that none of these people look like they're "the nobles" lol. It's regular people buying this shit, I haven't seen many famous people in the trend who I would assume are this eras version of nobles but I also live under a rock by choice so they could be on It too
Sebastian has a point. I guess this time around it is the "influencers" on tik tok who are playing the role of the "nobles." Or maybe that entire theory needs to be revised. I remember reading in one of the Little House on the Prairie books, Laura's mom was making new dresses for the blind sister who was going to college. She was trying to source a recent edition of some Lady's book from the neighbors so she could find out what was the latest fashion. But how did the magazine ever decide what was the latest fashion? Probably just scramble up some random thing to fill the pages. lol.
Ironically, the dining room in my house has little function as a dining room. It would actually be better if we just had the table alone because that is the only part of the set that we use. Eating happens either in the porch, the living room or a bedroom.
@@Sebastian-Draegon The theory focuses not so much on the sense of nobility but of superiority. people with a Stanley feel better than people who don't own one, it's pure narcissism.
But I like the part where you compare the influencers to the nobles because to a certain extent it's true the nobles were a bit like the influencers of the past just think of Marie Antoinette who decided the fashion of all of Paris.
I believe that happened with forks!
What’s even worse about that reseller couple that “found” the Stanley’s at target, I’ve seen other videos of them “finding” stashed Stanley’s at a TJ Maxx which was definitely faked. Which means they brought their own Stanley’s into TJ Maxx to make it look like they got a lucky find. That’s sad
I got a fake Stanley for Christmas and being the outsider type, I had no idea that h the is cup was in, so I was just like “whatever” and figured that I’d never use it. Now I use it a lot, but because I can stay hydrated at home. My mom had to explain to me that tumblers like that were trendy. My mom is 56
The last time I was this early, Stanley Cups were in their peak... so, actually, not that long ago...
THE Fact that no one in my school has no idea what a Stanley is truly a blessing 😍😍😍
Omg you must be like the chosen school or smth bc oml girls in my class were OBSESSED😭
After Christmas break everybody had it, after everybody's birthdays (January-may) EVERYBODY HAD A OWLA.
sameeeeee
ur so lucky i was in my art elective (and these kids don't look interested in arts but only picked it to escape the other electives) and this whole ROW was filled with their big ass stanleys
16:38 her mom spent money for her to get a stanley and it got stolen. wonder who stole it
“Goodwill needs to know this isn’t the Stanley Cup people want 😵💫😵💫”
Do… do they know what Goodwill is? Or how items end up there?
I stopped shopping at Goodwill a long time ago. I also stopped donating there. First of all, they've gotten super picky about what they take. It has to pretty much look brand new. And then they charge outrageous prices.
That’s the old school design that actually keeps your drinks hot though!!
I swear, this woman is slowly saving my attention span from all of the YT shorts and TikTok comps that I have been mindlessly consuming
Stop. Delete TikTok it makes you su!c!dal
21:37 this reminds me of the time I found a cockroach chilling in my water 😭
When you said that people are treating Stanley Cups as bags, I thought you meant they accessorize them like bags, WHEN YOU PULLED THE VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL STANLEY WEARING A BAG my jaw was on the FLOOR
I got a Stanley for Christmas, and I honestly like it. I'm not one to be a HUGE trend follower, but I liked the bright colors they came in. It keeps my water freezing cold and I can use it easily at bed when I get that 3 am thirst for freezing cold water. I'm going to be using mine long after the "trend" ends 😁
I think the point of the Stanley cup bouquet is meant to be like “happy Valentine’s Day, love! I got you flowers AND a Stanley cup!” But there’s multiple issues with this.
1. It literally has lead in it
2. It’s not aesthetic at all. It looks ridiculous and like it’s unbelievably easy to knock over.
3. You can buy a Stanley cup, a bouquet of flowers, and a straw topper- making it yourself and saving money. Buy a $45 cup, buy a $10 bouquet of flowers, and a $5 straw topper then fill the cup with water. Add the cost of tax and enjoy your (lead filled) Stanley bouquet for $63, literally half of what these florists were charging.
And 4. You could buy a much more special, custom, and personal Valentine’s Day gift for your partner with $125. So why spend it on this? Why spend $125 on flowers that’ll die and a cup with lead in it instead of a long-term gift that will mean so much more to your partner?
Normally I agree with your takes... but the flower thing is pretty normal. i used to work in a florist shop and a sizable portion of the price is for the vase/vessel. Its a combination gift, you get the boquet and then you have the cup. No different than a nice vase or a cute basket. Same concept as those succulents that come in cute little mugs.
yeah same. and i honestly think the cute accessories are okay on the cups as well, as long as theyre not constantly consuming for no reason. if you will continue to use your stanley and you really do bring it everywhere, then why not put keychains on it? id love to decorate my water bottle with keychains cus i love my water bottle
I think the Stanley accessories are just ways for people to subconsciously try and justify the amount of money they spent on the cup, but just causes them to spend more money, so the cycle continues.
I never got why these were popular, they have all of the downsides of a mug, but bottle sized
i feel so bad for the kid who got theirs stolen. i really really hope the school took action or the thief owned up, but even that doesn't fix the mental wound of having that stolen. i hope they're doing okay :(
This is the worst case of the "it's cheap, eww" social media illness.
😂 let them spend all their money on expensive stuff, we'll sweep up everything inexpensive and decent quality
All 2000s kids should remember snackee’s. I’m surprised it didn’t get the same amount of hype that Stanley’s got. It was more efficient at holding snacks and drinks at the same time unlike the Stanley’s which is a bowling pin ready to knock over your food at anytime.
as a former stanley owner i am SO HAPPY stanley's are having their downfall
As to quote Professor Farnsworth, “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.” *boosts off*
honestly like the idea of putting a small pocket on it, so u dont have to worry about a handbag or something, and the accessories also can make it more pleasurable to drink from if you have issues with dehydration (I got these issues and a pretty bottle really did kinda save me - Its not an Owala or Stanley though), and the floral arrangement also is kind cute in my opinion, but there are surely better vases and other containers to put flower into :D
I just hope the micro-trends stop soon. The amount of ppl who shamed these Stanley cups users… no wondered they are embarrassed and throwing them away. WHY CANT PPL JUST LET THEM BE😭 I hope no one else throw those expensive cups away
I’m actually glad ppl are buying more bows because my mum owns a very small bow business and really needs sales 😭

FINALLY I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPENED
I'm imagining the Stanley shareholders being like: 😬 We're gonna have a record year again, right guys? Right?
Jokes aside, trends like these must be nightmare for any business. It's uncontrollable and unpredictable. One day you're ramping up production as much as you can to keep shelves stocked when you don't even understand the sudden fixation, the next day absolutely nobody wants your stuff and sales come to a standstill while the production facilities are still running. Insanity.
In that case you don't ramp up production to maximum capacity instantly I think.
you think thats bad? being a company in a world where consolidating wealth is incentivized over spreading it, means you are permanently in a situation where you will have less and less disposable income available to purchase anything. aka a perpetual loss situation. but hey, our system demands all wealth get reconsolidated back into the hands of monarchs, so we have to do that lmfao
@@dudono1744 they don't know how long the trend will last, if you make too many they go to waste/storage or sold for less but that makes or other products look "cheap", on the other hand if you don't make/have enough you get scammers/scalpers who then resell as many as they can for an insane mark up you also have people who will go to far as the will fight each other over the product and that makes the company look bad
Oh they’re still popular. They released new colors in December 2024 and people were running to get them. I got a cup for nearly free from my mobile provider as well as using a reusable fast food cup (Wendy’s) to make sure I drink enough water. I am not spending $50 to $100 then more money on accessories for a Stanley cup at full price.
In my opinion they fell off partly because everyone has it now. It was only popular because of its “exclusivity” . From what I’ve seen once everyone has something it no longer is cool because it’s so common .
Animism is actually pretty common. Sometimes it's a religious aspect but other times it's to feel connected to the world. Sometimes people actively choose animism and other times it just kind of happens.
People often get attached to items they use everyday such as a car, computer or toy. It's easy to start attributing personalities to these objects and sometimes we even name said objects.
A good thing is that we will tend to treat our items with kindness and care if we attribute personality to them... But on the other hand, we can end up hoarding items more easily.
It's all pretty individual (duh haha).
I do think the little bag for the water bottle is a good idea, for when you're going on a walk or a short hike and need somewhere to put your keys.
*Contently hugging my hydroflask and thanking it for keeping my water cold*
I think it's a pretty good opportunity to get the cup for cheap though. Just because the 'trend' is over, doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty good quality cup, and if you need a good water bottle it's a steal.
It has a lead recall tho?
I thought the lead was just if you damaged the cup??
I’d love one but the lead thing gen scares me 💀
i have an olivia rodrigo stanley cup and i dont use it for the “AeStEhTiCs” i use it becuase i like how it keeps my water cold for two days 💀
i dont use it to show off i use it for what i actually need it for and i dont decorate it to make it cute like the hell-
i mean if this is true then thats good, u havent been brainwashed
People do this every time a trend die so they don’t have to admit to themselves that they wasted a crazy amount of money and time on something stupid. So they dress them up “ repurpose” them.
