Boys, girls and women are extremely impressionable. I suspect you already knew this before making this thread. Advertisement agencies in the employ of Stanley created a "social scarceness" where if you didn't have this particular cup you were poor and/or unfit for survival with the larger group. It's all nonsense ofcourse it has absolutely no bearing on your ability to survive and thrive but it played on the subconscious of the less intelligent to artificially create a trend that would increase cash flow.

The fad to carry around large refillable cups started around 2-3 years ago. But there just wasnt one "must have" premium brand. So you go design one of those cups with a giant handle and a logo that resembles some kind of sportscar brand and you created something the luxury starved Z to millenial generation can affort to "show off" in puplic.

These and yeti cups have lead in them.

The real answer is the same guy that made crocs a success was hired as CEO (or something like that) of Stanly and he rebranded it to appeal to women, who are much more impressionable and get caught up in hype

I believe they did a lot of partnerships with female influencers and things like that

>>58390476
There was a post on social media that showed the remains of a car on fire. Some lady goes to her car and finds that her Stanley cup still has ice in it. Then the CEO found that video and they bought her a née car. That was the start. Whether or not the first video was real, their social media team jumped on it. This created an image of a high quality product and FOMO happened.

have you ever in your life tried a cup like this? Ive kept ice in one in my extremely hot fucking room nad the ice not melt for like 24-28 hours, no joke. theyre amazing, homie.

They marketed to women with big bright colors, a giant easy to grab handle that even the most retarded and uncoordinated woman can hold onto, and they made it big gulp sized so women can load it the fuck up with an entire day's worth of iced coffee. They probably paid a few influencers on tik tok and instagram to show them off and then the female lizard brain went haywire and they simply had to have the big trendy cup.

>>58394237
Most hardcore consoomers are fat. They are greedy gluttonous beasts. This is true of eating habits as well as their spending habits, how you do one thing is how you do all things.

I keep a glass Voss water bottle in my house to drink water out of, although it is only 800ML which is weird because they look and feel huge. They're literally just a straight glass tube so they're extremely easy to clean and cheap as hell, you really only need one but you can buy more than you'll ever really need for the price of one overpriced gimmick bottle. The main downside is they're terrible for carrying around with you outside of the house, but they're great to keep on hand for when you're at home and if you work in an office you can just keep one for the office and one for home. The cap is pretty big and bulky, and there isn't really any insulation to speak of, but as far as a non plastic bottle that's easy to clean this is definitely the #1 choice and for sure the cheapest option.

Yeah but they're all of middling quality, I want something that has the type of shit that the cheap brands don't bother with. And there is zero fucking way I'm drinking out of an aluminium bottle

Women have this mentality left over from when we were pre-agrarian tribes whereby whatever the critical mass or tastemaker women approve they all adopt that mentality. Companies can use social media marketing to hack this phenomenon to popularize their product.

My wife has bought three, including one for me for my birthday. Since I’m completely disconnected from social media except /biz/ I didn’t know they were a meme but started to suspect it once she bought a third one.
They’re not even very good cups or mugs, the shapes are kind of retarded.

>>58394789
That’s a good explanation. Sounds legit.

I've dropped my glass ones a few times. The glass has always held up, the plastic caps may crack though, but sometimes that made it more convenient because I was now able to hook my fingers under the cap when carrying it around if I was holding other things

>>58397681
Yes but I meant the meme were any woman startet carrying around their large water filled cups/bottles everywere they go. At my workplace I started to see them just placed on the ground right before doors with security level (no food allowed inside). Maybe I should take some of these with me to the toilet and piss in them.

>>58398649
Im a millenial. And yes its an old brand captain obvious... but the newer cups are a redesign to look more "fashionable". Before that only hunters, fisherman or construction workers even knew them.

>>58398698
>They’re not even very good cups or mugs, the shapes are kind of retarded.
This is what surprised me about the Stanley cup thing, especially since it just completely overshadowed the whole Yeti cup craze. At least the Yeti cups looked somewhat ergonomic, Stanley cups just look gigantic and cumbersome to use.

>>58398751
yea like I said earlier Owala has a big fomo social media campaign but the cups aren't bad. I thought the sippy cup straw design was stupid until I used it. The lids are the weakness, eventually when twisting the cap off the retaining springs will pop out and it's pretty much gg from there. You can finagle them back in but they'll keep coming out forever once it happens. The two seals are both very prone to gathering mold requiring you to remove them for cleaning and surprise - the lid seal is glued on and will also come off all the time once you remove it to clean the mold buildup. you're going to need to buy some pipe cleaners if you want to keep it actually clean because a dishwasher will not clean the lid worth a shit in the area that the straw mounts to. Also any size other than the ~20oz doesn't fit in pretty much any cupholder. There really isn't a better option for an insulated cup that's easy to drink out of and store though.

>>58390476

Guess it's time for boomers 2.0 in 20 years

>>58398965
damn, thanks for the effort post, this is the sort of stuff i needed to hear, the dual straw was what i found most interesting about it. i have a tupperware coffee thermos that works pretty great but from experience with that i cant stand having to do tedious teardowns on bottles with adjacent corners. im surprised more companies dont round down their surfaces to prevent potential mold nooks.
in that case klean kanteen is looking most favorable, they dont have a lid like owalas but their variety seem fairly tidy, if i didnt drink so much id think the straw lid was great

>They’re not even very good cups or mugs, the shapes are kind of retarded.
The original design of the cup was scraped by stanley themselves. A mom group took a liking to the cup because it "gave them the ability to use it with one hand? (something along those lines). So Stanley started pumping them out again. These are strictly built for pregnant women and "on the go" moms.

>>58394994
Those dont even have the logo on them.

>>58400828
>A mom group took a liking to the cup because it "gave them the ability to use it with one hand? (something along those lines).
It's nice to know that without ever touching one before, I could tell exactly what the "practical" draw of the cup was for women, the retardedly oversized handle that's so big it's basically impossible to drop.
>Design something for children or disabled people
>Make it 25% bigger
>Offer it in every color under the sun and collab with well known consoomer brands if at all possible
You have now created the perfect product for women to lose their minds over.

this is correct

>>58398751
I've been using a klean kanteen for years. I like it, it keeps shit hot/cold even when left in a car for hours, it's survived a few high (15') drops, and it's a simple looking canister like the voss bottle but with a carry loop so you can clip it to a carabiner if you're on your feet like I am.

Drawbacks are the lid can collect some grime if you drink garbage drinks and don't clean it, but I only use it for water and black coffee anyway. The o-ring is starting to wear out, I might replace it. It's a bonus that it's the only one at my workplace.

basically like every business that has ever been created, buy it low, sell it high, the real question is, how do you stay profit, and save your money, now to stay on profit, you just scale, but to save your money, theres trusts, companies, hedge funds, crypto, BRC20tokens, you'll have to choose very well

Because it’s cute, I love the straw, and I work as a hostess in a busy ass restaurant so it’s handy. There’s a point in time at my job where I don’t get to go grab something to drink for a long ass time. I wanted a 40 oz hydroflask, but it cost more than the stanley. I enjoy and get true use out of it

>>58394593
I know a lot of women that still have their 2013 hydroflask. The Stanley cup doesn't seem like an impulse purchase, provided she doesn't buy more than one and actually uses it. This style of mug has been around forever in 30oz instead of 40oz sizes from other brands. Every gym teacher I knew had those red or blue metallic handle coffee mugs back in the 90s. The appeal of this stupid thing is that it has the same textures enamel coating as the hydroflask. Women love to personalize shit. It's the color that suckers them. That's why the impulse ones have massive "collections" of seemingly same shit. They use it as an accessory for self expression, no different than hypebeast faggots with endless pairs of the same Nike hi-tops.
