Bring on the bandwagon

I’ll admit I’ve fallen captive to the entertainment TikTok provides, and if you’re active on the so-called “clock app”, or maybe even on Reels, you may have seen the Stanley 40oz cup that’s all the rage now.

This thing seems to have taken people by storm. Like, “sold out every time it’s restocked” storm. I’ve even seen it going for $80-$120+ on Amazon and other sites because people are that obsessed with it and the demand seems to be never-ending.

I don’t know if it’s the colors it comes in, the fact that it’s a whopping 40 ounce cup, the fact that it fits in car cup-holders or maybe even that it’s rumored to float in water. Could be a combination of all of the above, honestly. But this thing seems to have an ever-growing demand.

The brand Reduce has their own 40-ounce cup, one which I found at a Kroger for $11. It sits on my desk next to me as I write this, scuffed from dropping it once and a bit dirty from riding along in the lawn mower cup-holder this past weekend.

I walked into my cousin’s graduation party with it a few months ago and was met with, “Is that the Stanley cup?!” as soon as she saw it.

I don’t mind saying that if you were one of the lucky souls to get your hands on one, I’m a bit jealous because I too have found myself on the bandwagon wanting to add that cup to my shelf.

Now if I could only get a hold of those Margaritaville Crocs, too...
