To think that people who spend £45 on a Stanley cup need their heads examined?

More specifically for a primary aged child who is likely to lose or damage the cup? £45? Absolute madness. Some parents just can’t seem to see their kids go without the latest trend.

I don't understand the fad of Stanley cups. What is wrong with a normal water bottle? It is easier to carry in my handbag, not big and bulky.

We're skint as fuck but dc 2 wanted one so desperately they saved their birthday and Easter money and pocket money up to get one. I'm not going to say no to a child learning how to save up for something they want.

Nah, I've got loads and my head is perfectly fine! Would also buy for a child 😂

My water intake has never been so good! It's also a fantastic thing to take on a walk, packs a punch so a great defence item haha

Don’t you think this is a bit weird given water carrying vessels are widely available!

I was picturing children wandering around with miniature ice hockey trophies.

I hope your barbie makes you as happy as my giant Stanley cup does.

I just spent $175 in US dollars on a collector Barbie, so I can’t really judge. 😂

Love this 😂

Are they “nice”? Round here they’re owned by the fishlip brigade. Not something most of us aspire to.

How nice, you came onto this forum to talk about other women in this manner.

I wouldn’t let anything from TikTok shop go anywhere near my mouth, never mind my DD! There have been numerous products (water bottles included) sold there which have contained dangerous amounts of lead and carcinogenic chemicals. It’s all fake, cheap rubbish

@Dramatic

they won’t be genuine Stanley’s.

CountryBear · 07/06/2024 20:19

Absolutely, they must be out of their minds!

You can get a Disney x Corkcicle for £50!

I only buy corkcicle. They are incredible drink cups/bottles.

pictoosh · 07/06/2024 20:14

People are easily persuaded.

They are stupid cups.

I bought my 3 kids one each for Christmas, they were £12 from tiktok shop, genuine Stanley's. I wouldn't have paid £45 though. To be fair they still use them every single day 6 months on

My child isn’t in school yet but YANBU. I’ve seen them. They look sh*t. Why do they cost so much money ?

How could an overweight frump think they were Kate ?

They’re massive, good quality and therefore keep my drinks cold + icy all day which is what I care about. If you have an issue with who perceive to be a typical Stanley cup owner then that’s your own problem. Being blatantly classist + judgemental (over a bloody cup of all things) isn’t something most of us aspire to be, in fact it’s really quite a sad reflection of you.

Meh.
People have been spending "too much" on low level luxury branded goods for ever. Nikevtea

... accidentally posted too soon.

Nike trainers not for doing sport; Calvin Klein boxers rather than M&S etc
For me it's bikes.
Each to their own.

People can spend their money in whatever way they like, it’s not for you to judge. I bought myself one and it’s great - keeps ice frozen for 24 hours!

Agreed. As long as they are not borrowing money from you it's not really an issue.

How is it with hot stuff? 🫣

I’ve got a knock off and curious if it’s worth it looking for a sale 🤣

do long trips and would love to put a hot coffee that stayed scolding hot!

Of course people are welcome to judge, it's a flask not your first born child.
