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

[empee47]

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.

Those ones on TikTok are NOT genuine! 😂 I have one direct from Stanley and you can see the differences. The logo is slightly off and not in the same place. Also the handle is a slightly different shape

@buffyslayer - ours are actually the 0.25l ones, not the 0.35l. So the smaller mug of tea size

You were well off, then! We drank from dirty puddles!

Oh the smaller ones I get
I was thinking of the big ones with a straw

I was walking behind two schoolgirls, probably about 8, and overheard them chatting. The conversation seemed to entirely consistent of 'Stanley cup this, Stanley cup that. Such and such broke theirs, such and such doesn't have one etc'
This was a 30 second snippet but I couldn't help but laugh. I'm sure we wouldn't have been that obsessed with a bloody cup/flask at that age!

Are you sure they're all real Stanley cups? I bought my niece one that looks very similar for a tenner for her birthday

Am I the only person who thought this thread was going to be about Ice Hockey?

Depends on the child I suppose. I would be mad to spend that much for my kids because it wouldn't last 5 minutes. Also no good for me because I can't chuck it in a bag and I don't like straws.

For people who can leave it in one place and can easily carry it from a-b I can see the appeal, it's meant to keep things cold for ages.

There are lots of things that people do that l have no interest in. Likewise l do things that others have no interest in. As long as these things don’t impact on others, why worry.

We seem to be in a world where people increasingly try and police what others do. Even to the extent of who they should have sex with.

Op isn’t proposing to change the law to stop them

Same here 😂

I didn’t even know it was hockey I just associated it with sports. I was wondering if it was golf. Now I see what it is I can’t see the harm even though I can’t imagine I’d buy one myself

I think it’s none of your business. You probably buy all kinds of things others won’t approve of

What is a Stanley cup?

I've just Googled Stanley cups. Bloody hell £45 for THAT???? There truly are some gullible people in this world.

I wouldn't buy one but I don't see anything wrong with an individual spending their own money in something they like and want.

I think people who get so bothered by how others choose to live, need their heads examined.

There are plenty of things I'd never spend mad money on but I just cant see how its "gullible" for people to buy what they like.

If only everyone could think like you eh?!😆

Hmmm.
If you got the money you are going to spend it on seemingly stupid things.
I'm very fortunate and what I see around is a bit mad, I admit.
If not a Stanley cup or the last iPhone, then it might be olive trees delivered and precisely put around your mansion, with fancy lights mounted on them and on every night.
St Albans and around.

I haven’t got one but they look pretty sturdy. I don’t understand parents who hand over their phones worth hundreds of pounds to their toddlers who by their nature are likely to drop or throw them.

They give off a rather chav vibe (where I live) - carried by people in sports gear and Uggs who don't actually work out....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They're not my thing (I drink out of freebie water bottles) but probably spend money on other stuff people think is bonkers.

No, but I do think they need their heads ‘examining’.

I’m still using my Klean Kanteen 11 years later…

I can’t envisage a world where I would spend £45 on any kind of cup for anyone but what do I know?

I have a Super Sparrow drinks bottle from Amazon cost £18.95, gets used every day, keeps my drinks freezing cold, does what it is supposed to do. If anyone wants to spend £45 on a fancy one, it's up to them, but I can't see the attraction.
