That is quite expensive, maybe two girls can share one...

[–] [email protected] 56 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

You know what's cheaper than that? Being one guy with a jar.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And a my little pony figure.

Any other use is dangerous

Oh, have Gen Z rediscovered the thermos flask?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes, but they're calling it a "Stanley cup"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In Canada it's legal to cross check anyone who calls a thermos a stanley cup.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

You didn't have to preface "cross check" with "In Canada".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Is that because it's made by Stanley instead of Thermos?

Whenever there's a stupidity expensive version of a functional thing, Coleman makes a version that's as good or better for half the price: https://www.coleman.com/coolers-drinkware/drinkware/.

I really like the project farm video on this, fairly good information on the quality of these.

Is this a trend or something? My grandma got a two pack for $5 and i thought it was just some generic grandma cup. The thing sucks, it isn't anywhere near worth that much money. It's shitty for traveling (too big and unwieldy) and it doesn't even seal as well as an actual thermos or bottle.

I prefer the crappy plastic bottle i got from work years ago, i could strap that thing to my belt if i went anywhere. Or wore belts.

Fuck plastic bottles especially older ones. Yeah, w all have a fuck ton of microplastics in our blood but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I'd prefer a metal one, but this thing was free and it's better than the grandma cup

There's no way your grandma bought two Stanley brand cups for $5. I've been using a Stanley pint glass for years, and if I put ice water in at at night, there will still be ice in it in the morning. It's vacuum insulated.

$45 for a 30 or 40 oz cup with a straw is too much because there are cheaper brands that do the same thing for half the price.

You will have to pull my 40 oz insulated cup out of my cold dead hands. Waking up in the middle of the night in the summer thirsty and being able to sip on water that's still ice cold from 8 hours ago is so nice!

I recommend Zojirushi thermoses.

I don't get it. Men go around for years carrying Yeti tumblers and no one bats an eye. Women start carrying a similar cup with a handle and everyone acts weird.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

worthy of ridicule

Because limited edition cups of the brand I used to buy at the Flying J truck stop for $12.99 now costs $150, and the resale value is $200. People are buying a half dozen or more to go with whatever they’re wearing. They’re Stanley mugs for heaven’s sake.

It’s absolutely stupid, and Yeti was just overpriced trendy stuff, not the equivalent of a Beanie Baby fad as a fashion accessory.

Can’t wait until these fools are stuck with piles of worthless mugs they wasted money on. You’ll find these mugs at yard sales or Goodwill in a few years. Good for Stanley makers, though. Hope they laugh all the way to the bank over this vapid trend.

Edit: TBC I think the overpriced Yeti gear is dumb, but I never thought of it as being “gendered”. Plenty of women had Yeti gear. The levels to which this Stanley thing is being taken is ridiculous, and it seems to be predominantly a female thing as a fashion accessory. It’s not dumb because women are the ones buying it up, it’s just dumb because it’s dumb. IDC who the suckers are.

Marge is in the back with her hair down.

That doesn't look like Marge at all.

No she´s not

I'm just amazed that anyone thinks a metal coffee tumbler is superior in any way.

Here's the ultimate way to drink coffee, after years of experience trying different things:

  • large double-walled borosilicate glass mug. You can find several versions of this on amazon, get one that fits your cupholder.
  • plastic lid from any other travel cup for when you need it, usually it fits pretty well

The only downside is you will occasionally drop it and it will shatter into a million tiny pieces.

Hey look, you were able to think of a way that metal coffee tumblers are better!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

lol yeah I'm not bringing that monstrosity in my car. Stainless steel is perfectly fine.

I've seen people make jokes about those. I thought the thing was the joke at first, it's so uncomfortable and strange looking. I guess it was a popular Christmas gift for some reason.
