What people don't talk enough about the cup trend is that people aren't even drinking water out of them. The new thing is to gaslight yourself into thinking you're drinking water by mixing high fructose corn syrup drink mix into their water. It's chemically different but somehow people think they're doing their bodies a favor by drinking soda 60oz at a time.

Wdym, hydrohomie is hydrohomie, only thing that truly matters and unites us is that fresh water, that H2O matter which we thirsty as fuck for, the thing that tastes as the best thing in the world when you drink it at 3am

I don't really get what this Stanley trend is, can someone explain it to me? I don't think I interact with the portions of the net where a bottle trend would spread.
People paying way too much money for absurdly large cups because "influencers" told them to.
Don't get me wrong. If someone wants one of those things, they can go right ahead. Not my business. But, every day I watch my 15 year old get out of the car and carry one of those things into school with her and all I can think is that it seems like a glass of water that markets inconvenience as a feature.
I've got one, but I've had it for years and years. It was a gift from my kids. I think for Father's Day.
It's awesome. I just use it for water. Load ice and water, carry it through the house. Keep drinking water. If I wake in the night feeling thirsty, there's ice water right there. In the morning when I need to take meds, I've got ice water. Nice secure lid, so if my clumsy self knocks it over, it isn't a disaster.
I've got gout, so one of the easiest things I can do to avoid pain is to drink a metric shit-ton of water every day. I think it ended up being a much better gift than my kids thought it would be.
Of course, like I said, I've had mine long before any influencer was talking about them.

I thought this was a good explanation https://youtu.be/vrUWQ56GeyU
But the gist is that it was some very clever marketing.
Speaking of clever marketing… here’s that video with the tracking (back to your Google account) removed. (Piped mirror)

It's true though. It WILL happen to you. I've been around long enough to see the full cycle over and over. In the 60s when I was kid, everyone was with "it," now we're all old f@rts who think those very same 60s values are weird and scary - peace? love? wokefulness? IT'S too horrible to think about!
I think many millennials and zoomers recognize the hypocrisy of the boomers and the damage it's done. I'm hopeful that we stand in stark contrast to those before us and refuse to falter in our ideals.
I'm a millennial, but what is the hypocrisy you speak of? The world leaders are all armed with nukes and the choice was to either be homeless hippies who can't feed themselves or cogs in the capitalism machine. Unless everyone is ready to have the revolution right this second, the status quo will always prevail.

You're allowed to say fart on the internet. You're even allowed to say fart in real life.

You missed the best parts of his line. The full quote is:
I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I’m with isn’t 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!"

Me drinking out of my reused aquafina bottle - "Mmm microplastics" 🤤
Did someone else just watch the SNL “Bug Dumb Cups” sketch?
I tried, but it just seemed cringey. It's a 30 second joke that got stretched too long.

Yeti didn't even make the meme.
Just saw one at goodwill today.
Or Hydro flasks. Those were a thing a few years ago.
Swell too.
Still got my half gal, use it every day. Best bottle I ever owned.
sipping from my 946ml that i paid way too much for
Consume!
I wonder what the hot must-have plastic junk will be next year.
I dunno, the insulated water cup I use is made of metal. A lot of them are.
I wonder what hot must-have mass produced junk marketers will convince people is hot next year.
I rock a stainless nalgene. Best of both worlds.
