    My oldest son found his daddy’s Stanley thermos in his shop a few days ago. His dad passed November 2nd 2023. His cup was probably purchased in the early 1970’s. On fb, he told the story of his dad being a hard worker and all the jobs that old Stanley Cup had been on. It touched my heart and many others.

      I don't like the taste of metal. If they made it ceramic lined, and about 20 to 22 ounces I might want one. I don't worry about keeping water ice cold, because I like my water room temperature. I would never drink that much coffee in a day, so I don't need it to keep it hot. I just need a normal size cup with a handle, that doesn't spill, and that fits in my cup holder. Plastic is fine with me, because....again...I don't like the taste of metal. BTW....I love QT coffee. My son always buys their bags of coffee for me to drink at home. I usually only drink one cup first thing in the morning. The rest of the day it's water. At night I calm down with a hot cup of decaf tea.

    Thank God I'm old! I hadn't even been aware that there was a craze over the Stanley cup. I remember Stanley cups from when I was a kid. They were carried by blue collar workers, along with those big metal lunch boxes. I can't imagine what those construction workers would think of this. It's just like the old Carhart brand. It was once a good, sturdy product made for working people at a reasonable price...then the hipsters got hold of it and it became trendy. When I saw this insanity yesterday on the news I laughed and thought I'd love to hear what Tawra thinks of this!

It's like 30 years old. My every day hot/cold travel mug (mostly for hot) is from Menards. It works great AND it fits in the car holder. My hot tea stays HOT for hours.

    I bought each member of my family a similar 40oz cup on Temu last summer for $5 each. The ice stays frozen in a hot car when I'm running errands. With six months of summer and up 115° that's a worthwhile investment. Plus, it encourages us to grab water at home before leaving the house, which saves money, rather buying something on the go.
    I will say, I wouldn't even consider spending $79 for an insulted cup, or even $20.

    And yes, I fill up my tumbler with an electrolyte drink before I go to bed. I was having awful hot flashes, and being able to get a cold drink, or pulling out an ice cube to suck on, without having to get out of bed and go into the kitchen, helped me get back to sleep in comfort.
    I got this cup because it holds 32oz, and I can take it around the house during the day, and easily take it right out to the car when I leave. Why do I need to drag it around the house with me? Because I will get into the flow doing something and will not stop to go in the kitchen to stay properly hydrated.

The only thing I can guess is the story of the woman where her car burned and the stanley cup on the inside still had ice. I am not brand loyal to anything and I would never pay that for a cup.

I dont think its necessarily a bad thing to keep something to drink handy, but I just use cheap or free travel cups. No need for a $50 cup. My dad worked in construction on high rise buildings and he had a Stanley thermos that lasted him for years. He worked 12+ hours a day in extreme temperature. Thats about the only situation that might warrant investing in a really nice insulated bottle, but other than that situation, its a waste of money. This is a phase that wont last. I dont blame Stanley either. Its your fault if you're stupid enough to spend money you don't have on something you dont need.

Made me feel like the cool mom 😂 I find it practical, I like the metal vs plastic and it helps me drink more water. But I do not get the craziness with new colors but, whatever.

    I bought a knock-off stainless mug that fits in all of my vehicle cup holders at the farm store for about $10. My sister-in-law noticed it and commented about me having a Stanley cup. I had no idea what she was talking about as I'm not a very trendy person. My cup does a great job keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for hours. My late husband's Stanley thermos from 40 years ago is in the pantry cabinet and is used when needed.

    I paid 3.99 for Thermoflask 32 oz bottle at the thrift store. I like flip up straw and it doesn't make a big mess in the passenger seat if it falls over. I've had it 4 + years. I carry it almost everywhere and save $$$ by not buying drinks outside home.

    Thanks for the video about this crazy fad. I am confused why people are going nuts over this type of mug. I was gifted a stanley mug dupe and I am really happy with it. Would never spend so much money on a mug/cup.
    Stay warm.

    I'd bet any amount of money on the fact that if you asked 90% of the people who "need" to have this cup they wouldn't even be able to tell you why it's so important to them. This is insanity.

    Mine is a Walmart thermal 64oz Zulu water bottle. Never heard of Zulu before buying it. It's a half gallon, and with 6 kids, it holds enough water to get us through a trip to the park or out running errands.

      We were traumatized by the "1, 2, 3" at the water fountain in school. 😉 I spent 13+ years being thirsty all day. No more! When I leave the house, I bring my $2 water bottle. No reason to wait hours to get home for a drink or spend money on a drink from a store/restaurant.

    I work at Lowes (in Texas)---and we have several areas of the store where Stanley Cups are on display, for sale. Nobody is lining up for them---in fact, sales of them are barely moving. They just sit there day after day. In fact I had a lady come in yesterday asking for Yeti cups. We no longer sell those--Stanley has replaced them in the store. So....I am seeing no Stanley craze here---was very surprised to hear that a craze for them is even going on?

    Interesting, I have the yeti ones and use the water bottle every day. My coffee one is more the shape of a take away one. No handle and smaller. I do start with a coffee from home then get it refilled out and about. They go camping with me, out in the boat with the kids and are an everyday item for me. I like that it means I am putting less into landfill.

  • @lins918
    @lins918 Před 7 měsíci +3

    You can buy handles to put around cups that don't have handles. I think they're worth the $4 or $5 the added handle costs for the convenience of having a handle on your cup. It just slips around your cup. Perfect for my cup I bought on clearance for $8 at half price. Keeps cold really well. Haven't tried hot yet.

    When I worked as a rural letter Carrier I used the Ozark Trail brand lg tumbler because I could fill with ice and water, refill with water a couple times before the ice melted, saving several stops a day for ice. PS Ozark Trails mugs were much less to purchase vs yeti, their only real competition at the time.

    I love stainless steel tumblers. I buy different ones from different sellers. I even bought and Igloo tumbler and it was my least favorite. Most of mine in the past came from QVC and I bought them by the set of four. This past Christmas 2023 I tried something new. My daughter makes and sells tumblers, so I bought a case of blanks from Amazon (which came with everything they needed) I then went onto Etsy and bought designs which I downloaded to my computer. I had my daughter make tumblers for my family and each one was tailored to each individual. These tumblers cost me less than $20 each and they are amazing. I was able to give my friends and family very personal gifts that will keep on giving all year.

    I totally get it keeping your water cold. We are supposed to drink about 60 ounces a day. I am one that likes cold water not warm. During the night my mouth will dry out at times and I want to be able to have cold water by my bed. I use a cpap and having water near by is nice. Yet my think is I have knock off brands and they were 20 dollar cups and did the same thing as stanley. so that is my argument is why pay so much for cups like that when there are many on the market that are cheaper.

    Walmart sells a cup that is the same thing, Ozark trail brand and I have the Yeti, which is an expensive brand comparable with the Stanley, and I have done tests to compare and the Walmart brand performed identically. The Wal-Mart brand is $10. I can see if you want the insulated cup to take with you. I don't drink fast, I just sip through the day, but don't fall for the hype, get the cheap one.

    I think the color is part of the hype. I have other stainless steel tumblers that I use for cold drinks and hot drinks. I do have a different pink stainless steel mug that I purchased years ago from another country and it is a Starbucks item. It was a special purchase just for me that I saved up for and it’s personalized and it was less money then that Stanley one.

  • @jenniferjensen8538

    Lol... I bought a 40 oz cup similar to the Stanley cup around 4 years ago. It's a Reduce brand. It was before these cups were a "thing. It was during covid and was on sale at Kroger for around $17, I think?Anyway, I am still using it and the only thing I needed to replace has been the straw. It's been awesome and works like a charm. I use it everyday and take it everywhere! 😂
    I like to have water on my nightstand because I get thirsty during the night. I figured it was better than buying bottled water all the time.

    hahahaha - I have an owala that I bought on sale, love the functionality and didn't buy it because of any marketing scheme. I like the way the straw is designed because I don't like the straw sticking up out of the lid. When it's closed, I can throw it in my bag (or anywhere else) and it does not leak, at all. It does NOT fit well in my car cup holder but I love it all the same.

A thermos with a lid will still have ice when I come back to my car. I’m going to plug my Venice,Florida actually made local Tervis Tumbler. A life time warranty means if your cup is damaged you bring it back and they send you a new one no questions asked. I used to get them at B B &B with a 40% off coupon. All this foolishness reminds of Dr Seuss and his star belly sneetches
