Will Stanley cups become the next "must have" in the UK?

[PopNotPolitics]

Somewhat lighthearted!

So, on TikTok/ Instagram etc, it seems that pink Stanley cups are the next big accessory! I must admit, they do look very pretty!

Who's buying one for their spring wardrobe?

Part of the thing in America is the water flavouring craze. Apparently you need lots of fruit syrups and drops to add flavour to your water. Your Stanley cup means you can drink more of it. Dread to think what it does to your blood sugar levels. I just have water in mine.

Its hysteria .. it has to be lol

I don’t play Ice Hockey 🏒 in the United States or Canada so no 😀

Thermos do have a sparkly pink, rose, dark and purple. I have it, it's the rose one that you drink directly out of and it's absolutely beautiful, we have matching mother/daughter ones as they do it in two sizes.

Love this. Big knickers for the win!

Nope!

Not so keen on these, however I love the Cath Kidston large ceramic Stanley mugs and have several lovely designs, my favourites being the polar bear and penguin design and the” otterly amazing” design.

DH would be horrified at this trend, it is Yeti or nothing. He has loads of them and certain lids do not leak, and go in the dishwasher

Oh god are we married to the same man? The kids even have them in their own set of unique colours. I put ice in one once, for my rose when I was drinking in the park with friends, forgot about it and it was still frozen 3 days later. They’re really good!

Edit: yes I realise that make me sound like a teenager but I promise it was classy cote de provence from Waitrose, not lambrini from the offy 🤣
Anyway, Yeti cups for win!

I have two, fully admit I’m easily influenced but they are great and I think well worth the money. Mine are the 40oz and fit in my car cup holders, but mine are adjustable (Ford).

It’s so ridiculous. People queuing outside targets for hours just to get to buy a dumb cup. At least it leaves the other grocery stores empty when I need to get shopping in.

Oh no, another Yeti obsessive exists! He insisted the kids had one whether they wanted one or not!

I got a knock off version from Temu for £4. Keeps a brew warm most of the day, dishwasher safe and a pretty colour. It’s an adult sippy cup at the end of the day. I bought mine for football matches of a weekend and to hold a decent sized brew in and to help wash down my sausage sarnie. Don’t get the craze if I’m honest. I look a right twat on the sidelines but love a brew 🤣

Please tell me they are at least using sugar-free syrups!

God, Americans and their addiction to sweet flavors really is something. They manage to have an even sweeter tooth than the British, which is saying something.

Squash really isn't a thing in the USA.
Although flavored iced coffee is massive as are Starbucks cold drinks.

Although don't be too critical of Americans not drinking tap water, we get free lead testing kits from the city because our pipes have so much lead in them.
I live in a large USA city not a backwater.

There are worse trends at least they're affordable

If I lived somewhere then I'd probably buy one because they keep water really cold and I love ice cold water on a hot day. Not much for one in the UK right now though

If I lived somewhere HOT 🥵 then I'd probably buy one because they keep water really cold and I love ice cold water on a hot day.

Not much use for one in the UK right now though

I had a look on Vinted after reading this thread and some were over £100

I would think a Stanley like this would be more usable.

Stanley

Or one like this. Both of them look/say leakproof.

Leakproof 40oz or other sizes

I have a Stanley knife. Are they trendy yet?

I’ve seen what looked like a SC dupe in Sainsburys tonight. I haven’t seen an original SC (to my knowledge). The dupe was hideous.
