This Cup Is Ruining Lives

[@AdmiralAwsm]

My wife's grandfather had one of the original Stanley thermoses, which had a lifetime guarantee. When it finally fell apart and needed to be replaced, they no longer made that same cup. They sent him a comparable replacement, but more interestingly they asked for the damaged one to put in their museum. I have no idea where said museum is, but it apparently contains the cup of my wife's grandfather.

[@Thatweirdguy8619]

That's actually extremely cool

[@SuLokify]

Toyota did something similar with my father's truck which survived a ridiculous number of miles driven.

[@TheMeloettaful]

That's actually really cool! I never really thought about the whole Lifetime Guarantee. But they did honor it for the grandfather! And not only that the old one is in a museum somewhere! So the original still lives on to be admired by thousands of people ❤.

[@jarodjohnson1605]

So, why would you want to publically display your product not living up to a lifetime of use and abuse? It's supposed to be guaranteed for a lifetime. It's like; Museum tour guide: "and here's an important piece of historic memorabilia. One of our cups that almost made it through a lifetime... on to our next exhibit". I hope the NHL can sue that company.

It is crazy how a cup that miners had once used have become a status symbol of not only class but of fashion, but this only unlocked a memory of mine where kids literally used their Stanley cups to beat the shit out of each other during school fights. It was usually girls, but there was once a fight between two dudes where one of them grabbed a random Stanley cup and bashed it into the other's face. This changed people's trajectory into fights so bad, that if you wanted to fight someone you would have to make sure they didn't have their cup near them, or I would hear people ask, "Do they have a Stanley cup?" Not a lot of people had Stanley cups at my school, but the shit almost got banned at some point, until somehow people stopped using them as weapons and went back to the normal fist fights and hair pulling; I think it somehow became a trend at my school to use them in fights and then it died soon after.

[@lonelyfroggy5787]

As someone who works part time in an elementary school, let me tell you, the whole kids are being bullied for not having these thing is not a joke. Stanleys have been at the forefront of most of the drama amongst the girls especially this semester (I'm not kidding, little girls are creating class systems over thermoses) and these stupid ass cups are the bain of my existence currently. No child can sit still with them and they end being such a noisy distraction clattering on desks and getting dropped all the time. It's worse than when Hydroflasks were a big thing because unlike those, Stanley's aren't spill proof, anyone who tells you they are is lying, and the kids that have one refuse to go anywhere without them like they're some sort of family heirloom and are so pretentious they won't clean up spills. Other schools in the area are talking about banning metal water bottles. Edit:This was just me sharing my personal experience as someone in childcare and did not need to turn into how little kids nowadays are weak and sensitive and that little girls are entilted. While I have my issues and personal grievances with some of them, those kids are some of the most amazing kids I know, yes they have their flaws but who doesn't? And also, they're kids, guys, come on now. Most of their negative behavior I chalk up to their parents. *Every* generation of teachers have stories, things to vent about. (I'm sure at least one teacher you had complained about you in their private life at some point) At the end of the day I would not trade my job getting to work with them and be a part of their lives for the world.

@@alZiiHardstylez Part of me wonders if it's a somewhat anti-consumerism commentary she's doing while also feeling defeated. Part of the problem with anti-consumerism and anti-capitalistic expressions is that they can be absorbed by consumerism and capitalism, such as how someone that wants to gravitate towards Punk and/or alt community fashion/music/DIY culture would struggle to be able to avoid buying something at least once or twice. Even bottle cap buttons would need to be made either because someone bought a drink somewhere or they had the very rare luck of finding a discarded bottle cap and easy access to safety pins/hot glue.

I've never gone black friday shopping but I was walking in the store at 6AM and you could just feel a buzz in the air and when they announced on the PA "the time is 6AM. The sale has officially started" that buzz became a roar. It was actually terrifying. I was glad I was working outdoors because I didn't see any fights. What I did see was people standing next to their full sized 15 passenger vans which were stuffed floor to ceiling with things and those people insisting they weren't done with their shopping carts yet. I'm like "okay... I don't know where you're gonna put more things but carry on". One person had a Uhaul truck. That said... I'd work at Walmart again begrudgingly... Only as a second job.
