[@noahkirschtein8169]

it’s so fucking dystopian to see something meant to be reusable become a COLLECTIBLE to people.

[@generalcodsworth4417]

It was an inevitability. The old Stanley cups that were boring, functional, amazing drink vessels for hot and cold beverages that you only needed one of because they last forever were designed for a limited market. And by limited, I mean everyone only needs one. In order to keep making money after everyone has a Stanley, they need to sell to people who've already bought one. And the only way to do that is rampant consumerism by making everything the same, but with limited edition colors! Fun fact, this actually already happened with cars in the early days before they started using planned obsolescence. Once everyone had a car that worked and could be maintained forever, (I think it was Ford) realized they could get people to throw out their old car that worked perfectly and buy a new one if the company painted them in limited edition colors before selling. So this isn't even new.

[@smalltime0]

@@generalcodsworth4417 lol old cars (especially fords) had a reliability measured in services per mile. Old cars weren't pinnacles of engineering. The 'planned obsolescence' cars that people complain about are usually just more modern cars. It use to be Toyotas in the 80s (you never see those anymore), Yugos in the 70s (communism more like consumerism). The issue with more modern cars (think 90s onwards) is that electronically controlled and regulated systems require more specialist parts and knowledge which makes them ever harder/impossible for the end user to maintain, but come with neat real-world benefits like fuel economy and not producing noxious gasses. What's more relevant to cars is "perceived obsolescence" where the car's key components (engine, powertrain etc) are functionally more or less the same, however differences in body work and aesthetic design result in a product which seems newer and prompts the turnover. I'd argue Audis of all the car brands are the worst offenders here, you can very often get Audis on the bodywork change that are drastically cheaper (even as high as 30%) even though the dealers know they're selling the same car just because the body is different.

When you live under capitalism and have to spend most of your waking hours exchanging your labor for the means of survival, it doesn't leave a lot of time to build ties with a community and people then need to tie their identities to the things they consume. It's a shitty situation for peoole to be in, but works great for capitalists. All I can say is thank god the USSR fell; can you imagine what kind of world we would live in if the communists had won and we only had to work 20 hours a week to meet the needs of our communities? What would we do with all that extra spare time, and how could we get people to waste money on stupid crap?!?

Stanley was always a fisherman/hunter brand. Here in Brazil it's always been a farmers' brand because, yes, it does keep the beverages cooler and warmer for longer periods of time. They were really inexpensive until the "agroboys" (as we like to call the rich kids of the farmers that think they are millionaires but they are just higher middle class) started with our own Stanley cup craze here in the country. Those water cups today are closer to BR$ 300,00 (US$ 60), which is absurd considering the minimum wage here is US$ 285. But I think all of this is just a reflection of late-stage capitalism and consumerism, especially if we consider the fact that this cup in specific is a collab with Starbucks, that just a few days prior was being canceled and losing stock marketing prices due to support to Israel, in days there was not a soul talking about that anymore but also giving money to them indirectly through Stanley.

I think the funniest thing about any of the reusable cup trends is how the whole point of reusable cups is to limit the amount of single use plastic and paper products we consume but buying a new cup in every single color for the couple of months where it's trendy only to have it eventually sit in the back or your cupboard for years once the trend dies down kind of....negates the whole purpose of reusable cups?

I have a suspicion it's because of the price. It's priced high because you're only supposed to buy one and it should last you a very long time, but as with anything, people seem to equate the price with status. If you had one, you're cool, and having multiple is a flex. It's really stupid and a waste of money, in my opinion.

Worst thing about this is that once the craze is gone nobody will actually use the Valentine themed or any Stanley cup altogether, basically killing the purpose behind their production

[@Widdekuu91]

The idea of someone giving anyone a Valentinesday-Stanley Cup is a bit sad though. It's been 10 years since I celebrated Valentinesday and to be fair, it was never "really fun' or something, because my ex was a man with severe trustissues (never liked any gift I gave, because he was sure it was a hidden trap), that only felt "manly" if he could sabotage his lovely gestures with some bad behaviour, that he would call manly roughness. So my ex would give me a rose, sure, but he'd hand it over to me and then take his trousers off and drag me to the bedroom, where 'no' would just be ignored. He couldn't say the words "I love you' and would just wait until I said them and then reply; 'I know!' like Han Solo. He kept this up for the entire relationship of 4,5 years (including the unofficial 3 years before and ofcourse the half-a-year friendship before that.) I díd give a lot for Valentinesday, I made a handpainted T-shirt with an anatomical heart on it, a papermaché heart (to match) and some handdrawn cards. A memorygame, a painting of Boba Fett, Rorshach, any of his heroes. It was never appreciated though and whenever I received a gift (hardly ever) it was usually a kitchencalender for his kitchen that "I could also use one day if we live together" or a book he wanted to read and suggested I could read "once he was done with it." I never got to read that book, nor did he pre-read it as he wanted. And after I refused to take him back, all my art was (instead of returning it, as I asked) dramatically burned during a mancave weekend with his friends. Many figured I must've cheated to make him so angry. I never spoke to his friends again, only clarified to a few that asked, that I hadn't cheated, which they were most confused about, given the raging and complaining my ex had appareantely been doing. Again, it's been 10 years of being single and I'm very happy this way, but I also long for the moments in which you get to spoil someone, by hugging them in the morning and bringing them some (bit of) breakfast in bed or a little gift. And I am curious what it would be like to have him respond happy to my gifts and allow me to be myself without strain. I've offered to help someone with his Valentines-surprise once, to surprise his girlfriend, but he found it weird that I offered to get involved and help out with the gifts and all. Which I understand in a way. So now I just fantasize in my head about what I'd do if I had a partner and how I would surprise them. Sneak out of bed, the morning of Valentinesday to get your gift and then jump on the bed, kneel on the blanket and present it. Kissing his forehead, watching him as he opens the gift. Seeing him read the card and (in the case of my fantasy) thanking me for the effort I put in. Him then presenting a gift from next to his bed, which contains something I'd mentioned before and he remembered. And a card, in which he wrote that he loves me. He will not announce 'what we will be doing' and it won't be something unromantic like checking if the modelcar-shop has his 8-inch spare tires left in stock or him-playing-Minecraft-while-I-wait-and-watch-until-the-shops-are-closed. He will ask; 'What shall we do?' or better; 'Well, you mentioned you wanted to go to .. let's prepare!' and get his backpack ready. My ex had convinced me that "no other man will ever put up with your whining and your annoying behaviour, you should be glad to have such a wonderful boyfriend like me" but I'm starting to get hope that I will find someone that I like and that he likes me back, not someone like him. And when I find him, he will surprise me with gifts and I will surprise him with gifts and I can be myself and he can be himself and it will be grand. I am in no rush, but this is my new dream. p.s. I also got a card once, which was empty apart from a sexual request (more like demand) and a biscuit that he wanted me to finish, because he paid for it. Apart from a letter from a stalker in highschool that referenced sexual things and eventually led to the stalker threatening me with a pair of scissors, I never received anything for Valentinesday.

DO YOU HAVE THE STANLEY?????” It was crazy. Now those suckers go for 300 dollars online.

[@AgentWest]

Too bad you can't have an in-store auction for those. Have just one (to make it seem even more rare) with a whiteboard next to it. Keep writing the highest bid on that whiteboard and let it go for a week. That cup will sell for $500, especially if you put some starbucks-y dangle on the handle as well. That would make for a great reality show episode as well. Like Storage Wars or whatever, but all over one cup.

My dad was obsessed with Stanley theromoses way back when. He would always point them out in the store and tell us the story about when he was a kid his dad had one and it fell off his tractor and it was so damn durable it dented the tractor

[@vanessad5269]

This is so cute

[@monus782]

My brother gave me a Stanley beer cup last Christmas and I didn’t find out about this trend until recently, I don’t feel I’m missing out on much by abstaining from social media but now you inspired me to get the small ones if possible to support our short kings (who knows if they might become a trend eventually).

[@chadfromsleepingbeauty]

This whole craze has always been so funny to me- it reminds me of when champion or hydro flasks got super cool. Stanley’s used to be the cup that construction workers used and were found strange but now people have collections of them, in a few years or months nobody’s gonna care lol

[@_S.D._]

This Stanley cup thing is nuts. Stanleys have been around for as long as I can remember. Both of my grandfathers had the big green thermos because it would keep their coffee hot. One was a cattle farmer, the other a master carpenter. I've always seen it as the 'working mans' cup.

[@ellaina__el6628]

Well unfortunately brands like Stanley, carrhart , hell I’ll even mention wrangler , and yeti have used to be mainly blue collar / outdoors brands but now unfortunately it’s all about buying the brand. I’m a farrier and a farmer I work out in the cold and use carrhart and I splurged on my first 36 ounce yeti water bottle because they do work good. But I’ll get shit from people who accuse me of buying the brand. Even though that those said brands were originally targeted to a specific group which I’m a part of lol

[@roseanoctuaasmr]

I work in a very hot/cold environment depending on the season and thought that cup looks reliable maybe i buy one but I am so deterred by the entire hype that it feels almost embarrassing because you think to yourself I am not part of the crazy I just want a thermos that keeps my drink hot in a -7 °C winter and cool during 39°C summers

[@ellaina__el6628]

@@roseanoctuaasmr personally I’d just go for it. I have a yeti and a Yukon ( Yukon is probably cheaper) and they both work awesome. It’s not like I’m out here trying to collect and buy them all in every color for the vibe of buying expensive bottles

[@leelubell9080]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@roseanoctuaasmrI don’t think the thermoses/travel mugs have the same hype anyway. I have the travel mug and the logo is on the bottom so you wouldn’t even clock it as a Stanley. Got it almost a decade ago and it still does its job almost too well (left it in the car in winter for a few hours and my tea was still almost too hot to drink.) They also sent me a new lid for free when I accidentally melted a part in the dishwasher, which is refreshing in this time of upsells and planned obsolescence. I got off track, but I’d say go for the travel mug if you’re interested.

[@shanayazaveri2620]

There wasn't just one cup in the box. Other people stole from that box and hence the man left with just one cup in the box. So the lady was stealing from his box. Never thought I'd write such a strange sentence 😅

[@vadernation1233]

Ngl I’m not a big fan of metal water bottles anyways. They always make the water taste metallic-y so I’ve been using a glass one for years. Scares the shit outve me if it were to drop but taste wise it’s pretty great and it holds over 20oz so not terrible.

I see the appeal of pink cups. It’s not $60 worth of appeal though. Bootlegs are affordable and honestly probably around the same quality. Most of these crazy popular brands snap in two when lightly jolted. Like 32 cups…. 32 cups.

So, I don't live in the US, and when I tell you that I haven't seen a single Stanley cup anywhere, I mean it. No store, not on anyone's person, not in the trash room. Nowehere. I haven't even heard anything about them here. So watching this is absolutely insane. It's genuinely sad to see, and yet I'm not surprised at all because this is where society has gone to

[@aliseapse4856]

Same here. I work at a school where every teacher has a reusable water bottle and not a single one of them is a Stanley. This seems like something that only happens in the US. Their type of over-consumerism is crazy.

So my sister got everyone Stanley cups for Christmas b4 they were popular. And dead ass the reason you need a bag is because that thing weighs so much and it’s not even spill proof. So it’s like carrying this 10 lb bag on top of everything else and you can’t put it in a bag otherwise it will spill.

I love this video. It’s crazy how many people are so programmed to fall for these marketing strategies. I love content creators who try to deprogram people. I remember my marketing class back in college first thing my professor said on day one is “marketing is convincing people to buy a product and service they don’t need” it seems like common sense I.e selling snow to an Eskimo but it seems like there are too many Eskimos out here buying snow. One of the things marketing does is create a problem that doesn’t exist and supplying a solution for them with at times having that solution solve several other problems . Example: do you ever get tired of bending over to pick something up? We’ll try the pick up stick, no more bending down and falling over, plus the pick up stick can be used for reaching high places, handling snakes, scratching your back etc. and people will buy it
