Stanley Cup Craze GETS WORSE: Target Employees Fired, Man Risks His Life

This is what hundreds of people around America were doing in early January, which sparked chaos-bringing back controversial behavior and animal-like instincts. From adults to children, everyone seems to be affected. But this strange phenomenon doesn’t end in-store . . .

Right like I wanna go back to being bullied bc I was wearing Walmart brand shoes. Or bc I didn't have a name brand backpack bc at least that stuff is actually gonna be used and appreciated once u buy the kids thos items. The only reason all kids want them is like she said fomo the fear of missing out. Bc kids r gullible asfk n if there fav influencers have something they NEED to have it to.

Champion used to be a cheap thrift brand before it blew up. Thats nuts right there.

[@Redfern4]

It’s in the same vein , it’s just end stage capitalism now . It’s only going to get worse . The women that started this are now incentivized. Same thing for any other white man or woman who is in a higher tax bracket. They do this constantly taking advantage of working class people to ultimately line their pockets. With no benefit to the working class whatsoever this is genuinely just making them richer. While you drink out of a $50 cup

[@blueeyedscorpio7]

Would have been a great lesson to learn we all can't have the things we want, when we want...

[@Redfern4]

It’s just about the status symbol. They have adults giving them the example that all that matters is status. Which you can’t have without money. Completely neglecting the reality that it’s a cup that has the same function as the other cup. And does absolutely nothing different. Holds no value besides being a cup. This is also to attribute to capitalism because parents would rather front as one day I will be a millionaire and provide my child with everything so parents are so obsessed with yeah I want to provide the status symbol. Instead of wait status does not matter. Practically it’s irresponsible to spend $50 on a cup that has the same function as any other thermos cup. Instead of explaining that the parent puts more value on a status symbol that will represent oh I can afford this for my child.

[@Amanda_Woodward]

If your child gets upset at a Christmas gift then you seriously need to reevaluate your life as a parent. Also, you are feeling miserably. Take a guess what that little girl is going to be like when she’s older, yikes.

Embarrassing that gamers are so much more civil and respectful over lines/overnight game releases than the sales for some *cups*.

[@supermarionicholas931]

Yeah because gamer's tend to be more normal people than people who want Stanly's The people who want Stanly's are people who use TikTok. Because if it's TikTok then it's a 100% chance of disaster. If it's a gamer nerd type of person they are more civil because they are not part of the masses like everyone else is. All im saying is just my opinion so yeah.

I don't know if it's because I'm a man, or I have a better sense of self-esteem than a lot of people, but when I graduated from high school, I stopped caring about being trendy and fitting in to avoid being heckled by other people. I always hated it. Now I'm 43, and I still do what "I" want to do, wear what I want to wear, etc. High School mentality has put me off for life.

Whats a coincidence is that today while I was studying for my exams, I was reading about "The minds of people" And this video just made me think back to that multiple times. In the story, a Man was selling some fruit. The man sold one fruit to a lady for x amount of money but then the lady said, "Hey, since we're neighbours how about you give me another as a gift?" . The guy gave it to her as a gift and then arrived the next lady, this time the man sold two fruits for the same x amount of money again so that he could give it to her as a gift , but the next lady said "Hey, since we're neighbours how about you give me another?".. so she got three. And after 8 more ladies bought from him using the same tactic, the last lady ended up with 11 fruits. When the whole neighbour hood heard that one lady got more than the other, all of them came together and confronted the man about it. The first lady that only got two fruits complained about how others got more than her. And she wouldnt have been satisfied if they all got the equal amount of fruits either.. She would've only been satisfied if she got the most amount of fruits. The last lady however, didnt complain.She was very satisfied that the others didnt get the same amount as she did. After all the customers complained, they all asked for their money back. The last lady ALSO asked for her money back, even though she got the most fruits. The man just wanted all the problems to end and so he gave back their money but in the end, almost none of them were satisfied except the last lady ofcourse. The story explained that when things get competitive, people's greediness natrually makes it so that they want more than the others. People's greediness can also make them irrational, its as though they never had empathy. The person who wrote that article wanted people to know how scary it is that the greediness in the minds of people would only be satisfied if it got the best. And yes there was surely a time that I acted the way those ladies did, greediness is in everyone but we don't know it, sometimes we dont realize what it does to us and the people buying these cups are also acting the same. Thats why the writer of the story mentioned to think about the effects greediness has on us. and now I realize how much enlightment I got just from reading that article that I was forced to because of school

[@SianaGearz]

Lead poisoning? The piece of lead seals the vacuum chamber from the outside, it's not getting into your drink. I'd say it's plenty safe. I suppose tin+bismuth+silver alloy could serve as a less scary replacement but the probability of the seal to fail would be much higher.
