Stanley bottles have somehow become a fashion item.
People collect them
Marketing strategy from an exec who previously worked in the trainers business — make em varied, give them accessories, they become collectable. Then you can charge people silly money for the latest “brand × brand” collab
And what an extravagant sign they have to advertise their overpriced tat
Misread this an thought “5 quid for a water bottle isn’t that expensive”
Imagine my surprise..
Probably a trend that fits in better in US culture; bottom is narrowed to fit into car cup holders; people use/are in their cars more. Here it just looks silly carrying around as we’re not as car-oriented as the US
Stanley? The tool company, Stanley knives and Fat Max tape measures?
When did they become fashionable?
Starbucks x stanky
In this economy
I mean, if you want to make money: buy low, sell high.
Probably costs pence to manufacture but you can sell it for a mint.
The stanley water bottle fad is already dying off
Meanwhile my Not-Stanley was
£7 at Wilko, but it was a quid off so I got it for £6. Does exactly the same thing but didn’t require forfeiting my week’s food budget.
Starbucks x NotEnoughBeans
My girl has a similar bottle, with a snack tray on top, and she loves it and uses it every day. Best £12 I’ve spent.
CONSUME
May or may not work there but these cups sell out almost instantly. People coming in at 6am to grab one before they are gone. Its so dumb but people buy it. + staff dont even get a discount on these
They’re selling out everywhere
Fuck me, imagine being thick enough to pay £55 for a water bottle….
Now and then my optimism for the Human race improves, then something like this obsessive, truly insane, Stanley bottle thing happens and that optimism rapidly turns to dread.
It’s a fecking cup!
Shit like this boils my piss, it really does.
This year I was given a birthday list for my niece’s 7th birthday, one of the things on it was an airbud (least I think that was what it was called)
I looked up what an airbud was. Apparently it’s a water bottle that you put pouches in that fragrances the water, or some fucking pointless shitty gimmick like that.
It was £40 odd. Words to the effect of absolutely fucking not were said.
When I was 7, I had squash. In a recycled bottle.
The Messi branded one is £60… fir a fuckin sippy cup.
I want some of what they’re on!
Stupid people are easy to exploit. I’m glad I’m not susceptible to such chicanery.
Now excuse me, I need to get back to my Steam library packed full of games I’ve bought but will never play.
One with advertising on it too.
Starbucks X Stanky
A white woman’s dream come true
i read it as starbucks and stinky
I got a Stanley as a gift. It’s the most awkward yoke ever. It weights half a tonne when full, doesn’t fit in regular UK car cup holders and is a bastard to clean thoroughly.
Then I saw the price. LUNACY!!! People just need to drink ffs not a mortgage with it.
It’s the iPhone of water bottles, i.e. pointlessly expensive and just to flex your disposable income on others.
I think the open straws on the Stanley are gross.
Most people don’t even clean them as thoroughly or regularly.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. And people will still buy it.
No issue with the price, just don’t buy it. It’s not difficult.
Good lord! I didn’t read it properly and assumed it was US$. Was distracted trying to work out what on earth Stanky was…
What’s a Starbucks and a stanky?
Shocking tbh
Ok, so my old eyes read Starbucks x stanky
*le sigh*
“We have it”
Nice! You can keep it!
Currently at £75 ISH in a good few places online haha. Crazy..
Had to get my 11 year old a Stanley a few months ago, £45 originally but got it for £30, which is still insane, but it was her birthday and what she wanted.
Also, tbf, the way it keeps the drink cold and even ice cubes intact is mentally good.
I don’t actually care about places charging dumb prices like these. You can pick up a cheap bottle for £2 or a really good one for £10. If you want to spend £55 on a bottle then go for it.
Is Starbucks Stanley like Flat Stanley? Lol
Are those giant oversized mugs even a thing over here??

10% bottle, 90% fashion accessory.
Least overpriced item in Starbucks

“Big dumb cups” is the official term.
