Stanley Water Bottles are the new viral craze

Ask a millennial or a Gen-Zer about their go-to water cup, and chances are it's a Stanley.  

Limited Valentine's Day edition 40-ounce Stanley tumblers in pink and red flew off shelves this week at Target and Starbucks, with fans lined up as early as 3 a.m.; the cups sold out in minutes. As of today, the only available cups from this release can be found on resale sites, with prices ranging from $200 to $300.

So, why are these Stanley cups so popular and selling for hundreds of dollars? According to experts, it all comes down to how they're marketed.

I can swear that I WILL NOT buy viral product and definitely not Stanley cup. She sounded like a young kid in marketing. She said a lot but also said nothing

Can we please get someone who isnt a zoomer that can answer the freaken question?

[SupernovaX]

She complete failed at answering the question.

Those things are the size of an airplane fuel tank. I remember those super tacky big gulp cups that people used to lug around. Same thing and looks just as ridiculous 😂

Consumerism doesn't fail us. You brought this to yourselves humans 🌐

I got two to exercise my biceps. They are really heavy.

Its height and width of the base is a NIGHTMARE for your desk, if you use electronics. Easy to tip over and ruin your tech.

Unpractical and heavy to carry around

Painted metal CHIPS and scrapes easily. Stainless steel that should be hardy becomes kinda fragile.


Straws are gross

The more parts the bottle or a tumbler have, the more MOLD it will collect.

It’s from a viral vid where a lady’s car set on fire and the thing that survived was the Stanley cup and the drink was still cold. Thank you ☺️

I didn't anything from her. So what's so special about it?

The pretty lady with the big hat said aloe, yet said nothing at all. 🙄🙄🙄

She missed what people actually like about it fits into a car cup holder and goes into the most don't do either.... plus lots of cool colours is a bonus.
