This Stanley cup thing is pissing me off because I have one of those green trigger coffee mugs that needs a new lid. You can't get replacement parts for practically any Stanley cup.
I could get a different coffee cup, but why should I change when it's these TikTok water cup weirdos that suck?
The worst thing is that a lot of people aren't even drinking out of them! They're just collecting expensive ass mugs to put on display. As a leftist hydro homie, that's so offensive to me. Buy one cup and put some damn water in it. Hydrate yourself and stop participating in OTT consumerism that just results in more shit in a landfill down the line, ffs.
I can understand having 2 or 3 to make sure you're drinking out of something clean without having to disassemble the whole thing every day, but a friend from work showed me how some people have like 20 of these things. Defeats the purpose of a reusable cup when you have a couple dozen.
Like you said, though. These aren't being used for their initial purpose. They're decor for lots of folks.
...which honestly wouldn't upset me so much if this automotive o-ring I'm using on my lid right now didn't leak and/or they'd keep their hands off the other less twee Stanley stuff. I like my mug.
Man, I get enough branded tumblers from work that I haven't had to buy one like ever. Most recently I got a 48 ounce one that's like only good for water because it's too much of anything else
I have several tumblers. They all get used for different things.
I get a serious “Michael Bolton” vibe from this comment, but I completely agree. TikTok ruins everything.
