I searched and could not find anything but why are these things selling for so much money, and why are people so obsessed with them?  Is it a chick thing?

This. Some women don't see it, but it's amazing that what the big retailers are putting out this year is conveniently the new style. You wouldn't want to be out of style would you? So come on down and buy buy buy!

LOL they must have done a great job because I always thought people considered Stanley a poor people brand because it was mainly sold at Walmart.

Women were told by the internet that they need a Stanley to be cool so they bought a Stanley.

Those same women will be told they need to vote for Biden of Newsom to be cool, so they will.

Say no more.  If they made a Stanley cup in Ukraine colors it would probably cause a middle-class white woman singularity.

It's a quality mug, for starters.   Then a video went viral of one that still had ice in it after a car fire.   Now all the ladies want one.

I won two and work and my wife got one as a gift.

They are good for two things. Falling over when full and spilling. Also, being a status symbol for basics.

My 7 year old is a basic white girl like my wife and carries hers all the time. It’s about the size of her.

It’s just a pop culture fade.

...with kids.

I haven't heard a damn thing about these until my wife told me last week. She's an assistant principal at a middle school and all the middle school girls are going crazy over them, even some "middle class" teachers who have young girls as early as 7-8 were putting these Stanley cups on their Christmas lists.

Good marketing, effective "influencers" and gullible, easily manipulated girls and women...

Exactly. Just a stupid Tik Tok trend for young girls.

A few years back it was Hydro Flask.

Or Fjallraven Kanken backpacks.

Some of the earlier Ozark Trail knockoffs were a dud, but the later Ozark Trail 20 oz tumblers with the magnetic slider are a pretty good copy of the Yeti. And for $8.94 compared to 35 bucks for the Yeti, good enough for me.

Wait, is that new again?

When I was in junior high 30+ years ago that was for the kids whose parents were too cheap or poor to buy Starter but not so poor they shopped secondhand.

Chick thing for sure. Marketing genius and Stanley got lucky young women took the bait.

People fall for name brands all the time. ARFCOM members are often no different with gun brands.


I didn’t know it was a thing until my wife told me. I offered to buy her one for a Christmas gift. She thankfully turned me down. She isn’t an idiot.

The Champion phase has really fizzled out.  I’d imagine in a year it’ll be back to poors status.

Like realitycheck mentioned, the  Hydroflask cups were all the rage 2 years ago.  $50 plastic beverage  vessel with a $50 sleeve that goes over it.  They’ve been relegated to the back of cupboards now.

Stanley cups will follow soon, replaced by the next fad.

In my experience, my Contigo mugs are way better at keeping coffee hot for longer than any yeti I have tried.

I have filled a Contigo mug at 7am and not opened it until noon at work and the coffee is still steaming. When I did the same with a mag lid yeti, the coffee was lukewarm at best.

I got some yeti knockoffs with mag lids for sub-$5 from temu.  I filled my yetis and the knockoffs with ice water and hot water and stuck thermometers in them to compare how long they would go.  Nearly identical performance within the margin of error.

Stopped for breakfast with a buddy before heading out shooting Friday morning. Couple walks in and gets seated across from us and the female has her Stanley tumbler with her. She proceeds to ask for water and pours it into the tumbler and drank from it instead of the water glass.
Just seemed odd, especially since she had no issues drinking out of the coffee cup.
