fighting to get their hands on the limited edition Valentine's Day Stanley Cup this is insane look at
this I got Stanley the most infamous name of 2024 is Stanley and we're not talking about Stanley
from the office Stanley ynats Flat Stanley or even Stanley we're talking about the company Stanley
so let's go back in time 100 years to where the company started and then we'll kind of talk about
how it ended up being This Global phenomenon just causing a mass hysteria w w W wo throughout all
of pretty much the United States the past couple weeks the company Stanley was founded in 1913 the
brand was founded over a century ago by engineer William Stanley Jr and his patented metal vacuumed
flask which was used by pilots in World War II Stanley has long marketed itself as a durable
beverage receptacle for rugged adventuring made for the outdoorsy folk this core demographic has
historically skewed mail so my first introduction to the company Stanley was honestly last year with
this viral video video it's little fire yesterday still has ice in it so then a couple months go by
I'm sure like for a lot of you guys and you wake up and you see on social media there's just like
riots and people are screaming and fighting all in targets and Starbucks for a tumbler and I
was very confused why are people freaking out about a Tumblr Target shoppers fighting to get
their hands on the limited edition Valentine's Day Stanley Cup so one early morning people
started lining up at 4:00 in the morning at Targets to go get a Stanley tumbler I tell
crazy people that go and chair I told her I'm like yeah I know we're crazy don't judge us been
a Home Dep they probably like those Fool's outside waiting wait I'm not liking this it
doesn't look like that many though it's like at least 30 to 40 like they said all the way back
what I just want a video this is is funny
this is very reminiscent of kind of like what I used to do back in the day waiting
in line for the latest video game console drop but I've never seen people Wai in line for a
tumbler to put your coffee in this dude tried to cut the line for the Starbucks exed Stanley
Cup but we were not having it and then now there's also the special uh Target kind of
limited edition tumbler for Valentine's Day the only difference is there's a small little
heart on it it's just a standard colored uh Stanley but there's a small little heart for
Valentine's Day and people were just running through the stores they had to have police
officers now the price of this Stanley is $45 that everybody's trying to go get so
that morning everybody gets their Stanley right then was time for the resellers to hit the eBay
Market let me tell you the prices were insane some prices went up to like $1,000 for one of
these average between 250 and like 500 for one of these limited edition Stanley tumblers and
then I even looked on Facebook Marketplace one that sold in Orlando or $160 also on Facebook
Marketplace there's an advertisement for a pink Starbucks Stanley selfie selling selfies with
an authentic pink Starbucks Stanley Cup if you couldn't buy one now's your chance to get some
cool photos for only $10 so then from there kind of ballooned with like there's all this madness
happening get
out get up get stop him stop him stop him stop him yeah stop him I didn't touch him I didn't
touch him stop him stop her stop her somebody she tried to grab my bag you guys look at this
is insane now this whole Stanley kind of um Madness is very reminiscent to kind of what
we experienced last year with the Tumblers for uh the Walt Disney World 50th those things were
like 50 bucks people were like just grabbing it out of each other's hands inside the empor
even in Miami at them all there were aliens apparently um there and there were lots of
police I'm sure the aliens we're even after some Stanley tumblers pretty much everybody's
freaking out about these Stanley tumblers but then for Christmas this year pretty
much every single person wanted a Stanley tumbler no way I got a Stanley yeah I got
a Stanley now back in my day I grew up with like being excited when you get like a new
PlayStation right or a really cool toy uh no kids wanted Stanley tumblers
this year is that what you wanted yeah what is thatti wait a minute
oh hey Yeti's theti is the OG is the original so can take it back
okay what what is it not what there now you're probably wondering why do these kids want Stanley
tumblers and not like a toy or a video game or something like that now the whole reason why
every single person wants one of these Stanley is because of social media and the social media
marketing that has gone on so when I grew up right we didn't have iPhones or social media
there's no marketing to us so we grew up with the commercials that were on Nickelodeon that's what
we wanted for Christmas because that's what was marketed to us now the subliminal marketing goes
all the way back to even like kids baby toys as you can see Fisher Price is selling a laugh and
learn wake up and learn coffee mug showing kids that uh they're going to want to buy these one
day and drink coffee but now because every single kid is pretty much just like an iPad
kid every kid has an iPad I was at Best Buy I was like what's the most popular thing this year and
the lady said iPads so every single kid has an iPad now they're all connected to the internet
so they're all following these content creators like Logan Paul and Mr Beast and they're wanting
what they have so there's no longer this like kind of like you have this childhood and then the
adult marketing happens with the power of these social media like influencers they're influencing
now kids to want what kind of is supposed to be marketed to adults this guy asked his kid what he
wanted for Christmas and you won't believe what he said show me your Christmas gifts what you want to
give for Christmas wishless I want um a 4 a 4,000 Gucci um sweater I want a house a iPhone 15 I want
Mr be in my basement I want a lion I want Ki and Logan Paul in my basement I want this lady in my
basement I want the to be in this so like I was at Disney Springs I saw like a little 6-year-old
walking around with a Stanley tumbler it was like the size of her what is the practicality this
looks like a huge that's way too big everybody has one I don't have one well everybody has one yeah
everybody has one why it's the thing and they all have them this size yeah to drink lots of
water maybe I should get Carol one for kidney stone we're going to go buy one and we'll do
a whole review in a little bit you're probably wondering how did this happen how did this go
from a hundred-year-old kind of like very rugged brand to pretty much every single girl wanting a
Stanley for Christmas that is all because of the CEO now the CEO used to be the CEO of Crocs this
all makes sense because Crocs started as a boat shoe then became like a shoe for like chefs and
everything and then it just became just like a dorky dad shoe and people kind of laughed
at Crocs CEO came in and really switched around Crocs to kind of make it a really kind of a hype
Beast brand and pretty much every celebrity you can see is wearing Crocs now and Crocs are cool
this same CEO came over to Stanley I was like you know what switch up our demographic the numbers do
not lie how much they have made in 2023 okay so the earnings went from $75 million for the year
of 2023 they made $750 million the guy used his social media marketing skills and explode it to
different demographics and that's why Stanley is so popular this year the man is a genius for how
he's used social media marketing to increase the profit of a brand and to make a tumbler the must
have gift of 2023 I got this cup for Christmas and I honestly love it but I do miss the Hydro Flask
cuz it would like actually fit in my backpack and I already knocked this over in class today
and Spilled it now there's many claims about how insulated these Stanley are it's all the
car apparently you can't even murder an elf in a Stanley all right y'all last night I put Elfie in
the Stanley and put them in the freezer and turns out that my thermal insulated Stanley doesn't
allow water to freeze so Elfie is marked safe from being Frozen by Elsa on that note uh let's go hunt
for a Stanley tumbler we're not coming back until we have a Stanley Tumblr to review for you guys
all right here we go not looking good they just have these simple tumblers the Starbucks said they
only got 10 and there was a huge line out the door on launch day they just put these generic tumblers
out here to try to entice people to buy them the Starbucks ones there's not a single Stanley here
in Target these are all where the Stanley are supposed to be they've just been replaced with
just the off-brand Brands we're looking for something like this big how big is that how
does that how does that feel that's pretty heavy I guess it can use I don't know a pound there's
not a single Stanley in all of Target or Starbucks I've checked multiple Starbucks they don't exist
now you can buy some figment bowls though like all the other brands are left right thermos Al
we've now traveled to the Florida Mall hopefully they have Stanley's here we popped into another
Starbucks this Starbucks has a chandelier right there so we asked what are the benefits of having
the Stanley Starbucks C right so they were saying there is no benefit pretty much you
don't get any extra free coffee pretty much the size that you purchase is the size that they put
in there so the biggest size you can get is a Trenta that's what 32 oz or 31 Oz Stanley is 40
oz so you're still getting 9 oz of emptiness so it's not even like there's a benefit from
getting the special Starbucks Stanley besides it just saying Starbucks on the side we're at Dick
Sporting Goods people are posting they have giant walls of Stanley now they shove all the yetis
in the back now here's the water bottle pouch the backpack that goes on your Stanley this is
literally all they got I think see this is how I remember the St do you want to get that every day
Edition so now that we've acquired our turbo man let's go back to the office and actually
like review this we're back we we got the Stanley Tumblr this thing is massive how
is anybody supposed to carry this around all day oh my God girl okay I was literally in LOM today
and I can't even do you know what thises is do because like I haven't even started oh my God
you would not believe what happened at work last night I will say really good bill quality let's
read what's like adverti so it's the Flow State sounds like an advertisement for like a prostate
medication or something um the Flow State quencher 2.0 tumbler that's a okay the sucker is 40 o uh
there is so much volume in here it is insane now I got to say every girl does not drink 40 ounces
of water a day every girl is always like I have a headache and you're like did you drink any water
today they're like no I had an iced coffee and a muffin early in the morning haven't eaten or
drinking anything since so is this going to solve the headache problem stainless steel BPA free
splash proof dishwater safe lifetime warranty car cup holder compatible reusable straw double wall
vacuum insulation the flows State thre position lid rotating cover is versatile okay so the claims
are it can stay cold for 11 hours it can hold ice for 2 days and it can stay hot for 7 hours okay
this makes sense for like the person bringing it to work or something but the main demographic is
just kind of like kids and teenagers and none of this stuff they're going to be using no one needs
2 days of having their drink cold if if you have a drink sitting here for 2 days there's something
wrong let's see if it works it is time to go on our little field trip we've cleaned out the
Stanley uh we're going to go to Starbucks right now I don't drink coffee I do drink the refresher
so we're going to get a dragon fruit refresher see how it holds up with ice so let's go head
off to Starbucks oh my God wor a little label that goes around this uh people like laminate them and
uh protect them cuz they don't want to lose the label and I've seen like pictures and videos of
like bugs crawling inside the straws cuz they're not clean correctly cuz there's just the left over
residue from uh like the sugars and everything there's a bunch of room left over I guess we'll
kind of try to sip on this this throughout the day and see if the ice melts cuz normally within like
a half an hour the ice will melt so I couldn't imagine having to carry around all your other
stuff with this and only you finish this then you to carry this around the entire day okay
we're back in the office so I got a report uh it does what it says it does when it comes to cold
stuff let's see what Adam thinks cuz he's a coffee drinker did it keep his stuff warm my name is Adam
this is my first official full day The Cult of Stanley and I'm hooked they say it takes 90 days
to create a habit took me 24 hours keeps the hot things hot the cold things cold how's it know the
difference so this is a Pike's Place two creams Two Sugars filled to about there vinty they call
it there's no coffee that will fill it to the top that you can buy in a coffee shop so you
have to improvise so I've been going on for a day but I've been drinking twice the amount of
coffee that I usually drink I don't even need this blanket on me cuz I'm so warm inside but
it looks good good never really drank coffee till l a little later in life but now I love
it the mystery of coffee I don't know if I could live without it probably could but it's
good that's warm so after you take your first sip in your Stanley uh tumbler you've joined
the cult of Stanley oh this is my updated Tumblr wall I literally have that much space and the
these tumblers don't even include my non Stanley Starbucks tumblers and from there there's like
accessories that you buy for these tumblers Amazon Stanley mus haves first up is this silicone boot
that serves as a cushion cover for the bottom it comes in two sizes for the 30 Oz or 40 oz
with a custom fit that helps prevent dents and scratches and I love these cute covers to help
keep my straw clean next up is a snack tra that's designed to sit around the top of your tumbler
so you have quick access to your drink and your snacks at the same time it also comes with with
the protective boot for the bottom and holds a good amount of snacks plus it includes other
accessories like this straw topper I love using this while watching TV or while I'm in the car
this carrier is another favorite especially if you like to bring your Stanley on the goat it secures
around the cup with velcro for a nice snug fit and is cushioned with a soft material providing
a protective barrier and an optional adjustable shoulder strap so your tumbler feels comfortable
while you're holding it there's also this pouch that's designed to strap onto Stanley's so you
can keep a few of your important belongings like a cell phone key fob and card holder all together
the strap can adjust to fit any size tumbler and makes it so convenient if you're taking your drink
into a workout class and lastly this initial charm comes in a two pack and can set your St
apart so you know who's is who's you just load a bunch of extra crap on your already heavy tumbler
to carry around it just comes out of this little hole so it's supposed to help you not get wrinkles
like I don't know why the whole tray thing that goes on top who's going to be walking around
snacking on something no like maybe if you're like watching a movie it would make sense at
home right put your drink in here but very rarely are people going to be using those accessories on
the Tumblers I just think they're just kind of a money grab again the whole like cleaning of
the straw does it not feel weird to have that straw just exposeed the elements all day every
day you know what if you don't think about it it doesn't bother you personally it's always out I
can't remember the last time I washed it but I'm using it all the time that you can see that but
mold on my Stanley Cup and I constantly clean this and and I'm going to take this little straw thing
off yep mold I don't know that you can see that again but there's a bunch of black dots right
around the rim so it's kind of like building my immune system if you know what I mean everybody
seems to be loving the straw for some reason I like a straw you like that straw I thought
you what big girls like to drink with straws now don't they M and then all my friends were saying
uh they love Stanley but apparently they leak I heard that it leaks a lot when you when it falls
over it's leaking actually right now oh yeah if I tilt it a certain way water will just spill
right out and that's not a problem sometimes it gets annoying but I just kind of block it out as
long as it looks cute look the old you get you don't want to be clean in the straws with pipe
cleaners just give me a bottle of water The Cult of Stanley there's a subculture it's called water
talk I guess people can't drink water these days it doesn't taste good enough for them so there's
all these different variations and Cocktails on how to make your flavored water taste better I
don't know how healthy that is all the different additives and everything but um there's a whole
subculture about water CU people are afraid and just can't drink standard water they have
to have glitter in it and all this other crap so that's a thing if you didn't get a chance to adopt
the service Stanley there's still the old ones that you could still find instead of fighting
everybody for the new Stanley Cups who don't come potty trained please consider visiting your local
thrift shop where there are tons of old and lonely Stanley they come with amazing handles
and are all already potty trained practicality wise I think this is great for some people but
for the masses that have bought this and are carrying this around for their day-to-day life
this is going to be kind of a like a one week long thing and The Fad will end great product
but it's just too big and I'm not going to use it in my day-to-day life there is one time where
I will use it use this thing for ice cream fits perfect so like watch TV eat your ice cream it
stays cold I think that's great so guys let me know down in the comments what are your thoughts
about Stanley tumblers did you buy one if you enjoyed this video make sure to hit that like
button if you have not already hit the Subscribe Button join the family I love the family cuz I'm
going to keep you up to date on all things weird and funky in theme parks around the world still
cold okay on that note I love you all and I'll see youall very soon but you have to [Music]
improvise but I'm not drinking Florida tap water even when it's filtered it's
still tastes like swamp pade so the only water that I drink is like bottled water
