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.

It was a fleeting trend. People have moved on. Influencer Insanity did a good commentary on YouTube a few months ago. It's extremely ugly and overpriced.

This. The classic MN attitude that nobody is allowed to have nice things if not everyone can have them

Show quote history

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

It’s bonkers and they’re ugly things.

Jealousy? Sure my child does not have one but I have no problems with anyone having one, it could have been a present anyway

Unless it is of course 'parents can't do whatever because it makes me feel bad and I can't cope because I have major issues'

I came on here to find out what a stanley cup is. I can see I am going to have to Google!

It's their money. Some people dress their kids in designer gear or spend a fortune on trainers, not my place to judge

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!

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
