The Stanley Cup Rush!
by Hayden Davis
The Stanley Cup took the world by storm. “The Stanley cups, known for their large handle and distinguished straw, were first popularized by eco-friendly, health-conscious, often teenage TikTokers who frequent the platform's #Watertok community.”
The bottle is not the first to become a hit with the public as society becomes more sensitive to single-use plastic - Chilly's reusable bottles and branded Love Island tumblers, made famous on the show, were previous on-trend items.
The boom in interest has reaped vast financial rewards for Stanley 1913, the drinkware company behind the model. TikTokers in the US documented their experience queuing overnight at a Target supermarket car park to secure a special Starbucks edition, which retails at an eye-watering $54.50 (£42.99)
In recent years, a new trend has emerged that is capturing the attention of eco-friendly and health-conscious individuals around the world. The Stanley cups with its large handle and distinguished straw, have become a sensation, particularly among the teenage TikTok community. These reusable bottles have gained popularity as society becomes more aware of the detrimental effects of single-use plastic.
The sustainable design and association with popular social media platforms have propelled them into the mainstream. As society becomes more aware of the need to reduce single-use plastic, Stanley Cups offer a stylish and eco-friendly alternative.The Stanley cups have become a standard for manufactured cups, capturing the hearts of buyers. With their large handle and distinguished straw, these cups are not only practical but also a fashion statement. The rise of the Stanley Cups is a testament to the power of social media and the growing demand for sustainable products in today's world.
To find out about how teachers felt about the famous Stanley Cup, we asked two teachers their opinions and their responses are listed below.
Mrs.Robinson
Q What do you like about the Stanley Cup?
Response: I really enjoy the, I guess, the aesthetics of it, and I got roped into the social media fad of it. That's what I think about it.
Q What made you get one?
Response: Well, it was technically given to me as a gift by my husband. I'm a little frugal in nature, so I'm not sure I would have bought an expensive cup.
Q How long did it take you to find the right cup before the Stanley Cup?
Response: Well, I had a few different brands of cups. I previously used the Yeti Cup and a Starbucks Cup. Both of those worked well, but then I moved on to the Stanley Cup.
Q Can any other cup compete with the Stanley Cup?
Response: Of course not. It's no other cup as cute as a Stanley Cup and as useful. Even though some people have these challenges online where they believe that other cups hold ice better, I don't care. I love my Stanley Cup.
Ms. Goldson
Q What do you like about the cup?
Response: I like that there are many cool colors and patterns, that it keeps drinks pretty cold, and that it holds up to 40 oz at a time.
Q What made you get one?
Response:I got my first Stanley cup because I had begun seeing it all over my TikTok and heard nothing but raving reviews on how well they held ice and how they helped to increase the person's daily water intake. Once I watched a few videos, they started popping up all over my for you page every day. The more I saw the cup and the pretty colors, the more I wanted one.
Q How long did it take to get the right cup before this cup?
Response: I have had other stainless steel water bottles in the past, from many different brands. I would say that so far, the Stanley cup has been my favorite. I think it's a very aesthetically pleasing cup. This could very much be because of the hype.
Q Can another cup compete with this cup?
Response:In all honesty, I think there are many other cups that could compete with this cup in terms of purpose, however when it comes to the cultural impact, not many can compete. In terms of keeping a beverage full of ice cold, many competitors can rise to the occasion; however, what other cup has people waking up early to fight over new color releases in Target?
