OT - Stanley Quencher

[Scott Hall]

Don’t be crapping on Stanley. They’ve got the GOAT thermos. Dad had one everywhere we went.

I need to find my dads and carry it around with me everywhere I go.

Because of this thread, I went online to try and buy a replacement cup for my old Stanley. The classic 1.1 quart thermos cap (SS03) from my era (Alladin-Stanley) doesn't exist anymore. There's ONE available on eBay for $20 ... which is more than I think I paid for the entire thermos back in the late 70's / early 80's. Sumbitch.

And it trickles down to the kids too. God forbid my 8 year old son goes to school without some sort of water bottle. He can drink out of the fucking water fountain like normal students have done for 100 years.

Mine is pretty beat up after 45 years of use, but holy hell ... that's TRASHED!

So you and @HuskerDocCo received one for your birthday when you turned 55 y/o?

I'm just finding out that I'm a god damn trend setter for buying tons of Stanley thermoses and a lunch box back in 2010-2012

I’m debating between trend setter or an “old soul”.

Regardless of perspective, RTDB!

You bought it tho, right?

YET…….

 

[lee_carvallo_12]

I mean…. They’re $45 fucking dollars…. For a cup…. What am I missing? Maybe I’m the retard.

 

[NEHusker54]

I actually bought one of these having no idea they were trendy (this was months ago). Now I’m a little embarrassed when I fill it up at work every day.

You should be you fucking beta cock loser

I just learned this is not the same Stanley that makes tools and now I’m disappointed.

Nope, but somebody else did. I mean, I still HAVE what's left of my cup. This would have been a cosmetic upgrade. Probably a much needed cosmetic upgrade, but the old cup has "character".

The reason they initially became popular is because they were supposedly the only ones that size that could also fit in a vehicle cupholder

Imagine being Yeti and watching your market share get BTFO by a company no one in that demographic cared about two years ago, all because they made the base of their cup an inch thinner around than yours.

 

[Jay Bilzerian]

My girlfriend will not fill hers all the way full because it is then too heavy like my dick.
