Remember the toilet paper issue we had at the beginning of the pandemic? It’s the same. When the demand is high and the offer is low, this happens. Also the urgency. It’s not about the cups or toilet paper, it’s about “everyone wants that so they may be right, now I need that”

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Well, it would have been unthinkable until the Plandemic ... then the effects of Behavioural Insights Teams and Government spook narratives kicked in and we were watching Salem play out all over again. Marketing is exactly the same. There are always two main camps. In the case of these sippy cups, the brainwashed side who must have one at all costs and the predator side who've spotted an "opportunity" to scam the brainwashed ones. If it wasn't for various psychological experiments (eg Milgram, etc) we'd never have known the vast majority of the people are sheeples, joining in with the narrative, with only a few wondering WTH and a few are predators, waiting to pounce.

[@krk6216]

Yes! I was thinking this too. It would be easy to limit people to 2, anything more would automatically drop out of your cart. And I know for sure there’s a way to keep people from logging in with more than one account per device by using IP addresses and device ID. It would definitely slow it down so others could have a chance. Release online and don’t tell people they’re limited to 2 until they try to check out 😂

My fiancé works at Target, and he said they only sent his store's Starbucks 3 cups total.

I wouldn't buy one even if I wanted one. I have a Tervis tumbler with baby yoda, and I dont need another. I have two other tervis cups too, so I dont need one of these things. Wasn't there a craze for a skinny hydration cup recently? One thing to note, the media made a big stink about their employees being hurt by Christians being upset because of lgbt merchandise and the devil worshiper that designed the junk. Of course, nothing happened to any employees, but now the target employees are being harassed by cup collecting nut jobs, and the media hasn't said a peep!

[@animeROX08]

I wouldn't even walk around with it because someone might steal it!

[@krk6216]

I didn't even realize I got one of the limited colors from Dick's Sporting Goods. I just liked it and saw another grad student with a Stanley and wanted one too (yes I was influenced by a peer). It's white with the purple logo and multicolor speckles. I've dropped it a couple times so it's dented on the bottom a little. But I bet some crazy would still try to yank it from my hand. I'll wait until the craze dies to take it outside again.

[@kimbermichelle4]

💯 Exactly 💯

[@JESUS.saves.Repent.]

Anything made of plastic that leaks is not worth more than $10 I'd pay more for something made of metal that is leakproof and has an ergonomic grip. At the end of the day, they're just cups and the only reason people are buying them is because social media made them seem like the hot new thing and people are just trying to fit in and be popular on social media. Everyone just wants social status on the internet. They think a cup will give them that.

[@rangerannie5636]

Paying even $20 is nuts!! 💯

[@KatiesTheName]

The only time I've ever spent more than $20 on a bottle was for a 128oz insulated bottle with multiple straws, 3 different lids, a whistle and compass on it with a carry case. Also I dropped it from 20 feet and it lived to tell the tale 😂 Definitely worth it as a trades worker and hiker. But to this day I can't comprehend the obsession with Stanley's there are brands that are better and cheaper.

What bothers me most about these things is that someone will stand in my booth at the farmer's market and scoff at the prices on my heirloom-quality handmade items (some made from my own sheep) while sipping from their limited edition Stanley cup that they probably spent twice as much on.

Absolute insanity. Stanley cups spill at the slightest tip, are impossible to open if you have any sort of dexterity issues, are insanely heavy when full and are no better at keeping things cold/hot than any other insulated cup made of the same materials. You can get better for half the price but because they're "trendy" people lose their minds. Never mind the current state of the world.

These people will just as quickly throw away formerly coveted products in perfect condition which they currently have in their homes so they don’t appear to be hoarders or can claim to be minimalists while simultaneously shopping to excess and acting like they’re possessed to get the next fad product or brand. The wastefulness, not even mainly in Western culture anymore, it’s the entire world, is so out of hand and people will still waste their hard earned money on crap they don’t need, making literal mountains out of waste, destroying our own habitat we desperately need to survive as a species, not to mention the lack of concern for the other living creatures who are not willfully contributing to global extinction which share the planet. I’ll never understand. Although I did seriously feel I needed to have a Cabbage Patch Kid doll when I was a little girl, back when that was the fad.

It also has a little hook so it's easy to hold with just your pinky or whatever while you hold other stuff. Definitely recommend over a Stanley.

I was a Team Lead at Target when Stanleys started being dropped at Target and people were RELENTLESS and awful towards us about them. It was horrible. They didn't even see us as people. We wouldn't get them on time and people would try to fill entire carts of them. WE had to stop them because nobody set limits on them

[@sarahp.632]

what’s terrifying is that there have been highly popular reusable cups/bottles on the market before ex. Hydroflasks, but never ever has it been this bad. Ever.

[@LoveAndSnapple]

It’s probably the Starbucks collaboration that makes it so coveted. Plus they’re limited edition and that makes people turn feral for some reason. 😂😂

[@grilledsleaze]

I am so far removed from this side of reality that I cannot describe just how shocking it is to find out that people are acting like this over a cup…. DOES NOT COMPUTE, NEED REBOOT 🤖💥🔥🔥

[@Andy-xx3tt]

This and the little snot-nosed kids in Sephora who walk all over their parents because they’re losing it over Drunk Elephant makes me want to delete social media forever and just live in ignorant bliss.

[@alexandrabauer9180]

​@Andy-xx3tt I didn't realize drunk elephant was such a problem for teenagers. I'm an adult who buys it for myself but teenagers do not need that level of skin care.

[@thecosmicchild8947]

⁠@@alexandrabauer9180A lot of them aren’t even teens yet. I’ve seen 9 year olds buying skin care now😂

[@Sincerely_SweetAesthete]

@@alexandrabauer9180secret, it's not that great of skincare.

[@bambiisbonkers]

@@Andy-xx3ttright? in the past couple weeks the sephora kids/stanley cup craze has been the first time i’ve genuinely understood why people want to go live in the middle of the woods off the grid. or move to a different country. it’s hugely symbolic of crazy and terrible direction our society is headed to

[@EFW93]

We have nice tumblers at the house that were all gifts through work, so the consumerism craze for...anything... is foreign to me. However, I will say Stanley's branding and marketing team deserve an A+ on this. I have the green thermos and lunchbox my dad used for 35 years, but they found a whole new clientele to target, and using colabs on social media was brilliant. You can't fault the company for wanting to make money.

I still think the beanie baby craze of the nineties was one of the worst I have ever seen or been apart of. I was working at my local craft store when the shipment came in. There were grown adults pushing kids out the way, it was insane. The worst day was when the purple "Princess Diana" bears came in. All hell broke loose, I just stood at the cash register in complete and utter shock. That type of madness is traumatizing.

​@@hopperbopper Do it, I believe in you!

[@rootfish2671]

I worked at McDonald's during their Beanie Babie promotions and I haven't seen a consumer fad that even comes close to Beanie Baby mania. Store opened at 6 and people would start lining up outdoors at 5 am.

[@yolondawilliams5078]

@@rootfish2671 Grown adult humans acting stupid over a stuffed toy. Last I heard, beanie babies aren't even worth that much on the secondary market.

[@rootfish2671]

@@yolondawilliams5078 the Beanie Baby speculation bubble burst a long time ago in the early 2000's. They are completely worthless now, the plastic box to protect it are worth more than the Beanie Baby inside. I've heard of people now just donate them to toy drives or even use them as shipping packing material. The lesson here collectibles aren't investments they are speculations and speculation bubbles always burst.

[@heysaras]

Yes, mothers even neglected their children to think about, hunt and talk about how to collect MORE. otherwise frugal women become unhinged over the toys.

[@klutzykate123]

Walking around drinking out of your Stanley in public is one of the most dangerous things you can do right now……ladies leave your Stanley’s home! 😂😂😂

[@markrice4808]

Maybe they should make fake ones so they can keep their real Stanley Cups in a safe deposit box!

[@lizzyblitz07]

I’ve got one that’s shaped the same but has a top handle like a Hydro Flask. Thank God I don’t think they care about that kind. I honestly wonder if someone would start a fight over seeing someone put stickers on one of the crazy scarce special addition ones

[@abc-wv4in]

Stanleys don't seem to be hard to find here.

[@hollyjohns1377]

I know this video was posted 4 months ago, but the Stanley craze is ridiculous. My dad, back on the '80's and '90's, used a Stanley Thermos for work. So for me, I'm looking at Stanley's like they have been around forever, so what's so special about them now. Then I realize, oh, influencers have caused this madness. This is just another show of how society is easily influenced. Btw, I love this channel as you say what I'm thinking 😂

[@Smartys11808]

So I’m pregnant and before the craze I went on Amazon and found a 64oz Stanley JUG, and now I’m embarrassed to carry it around. 😂 all I wanted was something metal at 64oz. for pregnancy since my plastic one made condensation all over my desk at work and ended up melting next to a campfire. I’m so embarrassed to carry a Stanley now and I didn’t even know 😂😭🤦🏼‍♀️

[@6463411]

I didn’t even know what a Stanley cup was until this Valentine’s cup craze 😂
