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

I've probably spent over £45 on shitty supermarket water bottles for my son that alway leak over the last 5 years thinking about it 🙄

I prefer yetis! We have a couple and they're great for taking out hot drinks. I'm not really a fan of really cold drinks. I wouldn't but one for my primary ages child but I would by something of equal value if it's something that he really wanted.. so each to theor own really

I agree people can spend their money on whatever they like. If they want to spend £45 on an ugly cup they can do. 😄

WellI wouldn’t buy one myself, but if that’s what people want to spend their money on, good for them. I’m sure theres things you spend money on OP that other people would think was crackers.

Beats paying for plastic water bottles.

I have a Frank Green - it's amazing. 1200ml capacity. I love it.

Some people spend thousands on sports/music tickets or going out for a meal. At least you can use this every day!

I wouldn’t get one as I’d find it bulky to carry about, but I wouldn’t judge someone with one. I spend money on lots of things others would think are frivolous.

We drank from our out door tap, and from nanna and grandads garden hose 😀

I also think it’s a bit childish for adults to be drinking through a straw in those giant cups but all my USA family suck away happily….

I don't know how us old gits survived the 80s and 90s without dying from dehydration.

It's up to them.

Whenever I see one, though, I get a mental image of those comically oversized free Sports Direct mugs. Can't shake it.

Dear 15 yr old niece has about 8 of them plus about 10 Lulu Lemon giant key rings that she hangs her whole life off, she swans around giant bottle in one hand, massive key ring with purse, phone, keys etc attached some midwestern home maker in her way to Zumba…don’t get the appeal, myself!

Have 4 40oz quenchers I think, in our house. but I have been huge fans of Stanley products for the last 40 years. My dad has a Stanley flask when I was small. My packed lunch flask was a Stanley. My DH for our first anniversary I bought him the biggest green enamelled type Stanley flask for work and the matching packed lunch tin and matching smaller flask the following years. Stanley have an amazing customer service dept and they're guaranteed for life. The seal on my DHs flask went twice over 12 years ( daily usage) and the sent replacements rubber rings out no question. The handle fell off after 15 years and they sent him a new flask. I got my teenager a quencher in September last year and the handle fell off and they sent a replacement the same day.

I love Stanley products and the quencher is GREAT for me as I have sjogrens syndrome. I half full mine with ice and to it up with water and it's freezing cold all night on my bedside table and still has ice is in it the following night when I collect it to wash out and refill. Is it a big bulky thing, yes. But until they find a way to condense 1.2l of water into a 330ml a can they will ALWAYS be big bulky things 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

I use a Stanley thermos to pour liquid nitrogen at work so it's quality stuff but definitely overkill for a little kid.

They may have got it on deal, or for a present or something? We used to sell something similar and we’d put it on deal almost instantly or it wouldn’t ever sell!!! Or maybe it’s a one off or a treat for themselves or something (some people go out on the piss/ or out for dinner, if they didn’t they could buy it and have it for however long they last!!!)

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

Hannah Alonso's YT video on this craze is really good.

'It's a cup!'

That said, people spend their money how they want.

Probably just a trend like Air Up (which were an expensive load of crap!!). People can spend their money on what they like though

I’ve been known to spend £8 on a pint of beer. So £45 is only 6 beers and healthier too. Fine by me.

It’s fine if it’s not for you, but it’s not fine to get upset if anyone else buys it for their DC.

£45 for something that's supposed to last at least 10 years is an absolute bargain. DD spends £45 on foundation that lasts 2 months, a friend spends £45 on take out once a week. I have 2 cheap knock offs and they're great. Don't leak and keep my drink cold.

Stanley cups are supposed to be a buy once purchase. Much more eco friendly than buying bottled water when you're out.

I can't actually examine DSDs head as I can't see it past the cup. She wasn't overly impressed by the suggestion it would make an excellent defensive weapon....

I mean if u can afford it and enjoy it why not everyone deserves a wee bit of happiness but personally I nearly dropped dead when I looked up how much they r out of interest

My daughter wanted one for her 18th. She loves having a bottle on her desk when studying all day and she drinks a lot of tap water. They are ugly and heavy but she loved it. No regrets!

I have three, one of them I paid £70 for 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love them, my head is just fine thanks and I’ll spend my money how I want and not comment on how you spend yours!

I think this about people who spend £40 on a branded blusher, £20 on branded lip balms, £120 on branded trainers, £800 on a branded bag etc. But I just don't say anything. I guess it all helps the economy!
