Story
Stanley cups have recently become the next big thing. Not only are they more convenient than other cups because they have handles, they also have a thinner base that fits in cup holders more securely. The cup keeps your drink cold significantly longer than other thermos’s. They come in an assortment of colors, sizes, and styles of drink ware. Along with water bottles Stanley also has food storage and camping supplies. It is almost impossible to not find a product that you like from Stanley production.
Stanley was established in 1913 and has been serving their customers proudly ever since. Stanley is an American company that continues to come out with great new products to please its users. Stanley has 20+ different styles of cups along with a wide variety of sizes. They also have a large range of colors in each cup. The demand for Stanley cups is to the point that they are out of stock; both in store and online.
But do we here in rural Osborne love the Stanley cup trend? . 29.4% of Osborne’s high school students and staff have purchased something from Stanley. 52.6% said that Stanley is over priced, and expensive. The quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler 40 oz. from Stanley is $45.00, while the 40 oz. Wide mouth with straw lid from Hydro Flask is $54.95, and the Rambler 36 oz. water bottle from Yeti is $50.00. 50% that were surveyed say that the cup keeps your drink at the perfect temperature. So there are some people that like it and some that are not a fan.
Stanley has recently been a hot topic. Starting in early October of 2022 the Company blew up on social media. I bought my first Stanley in October, and since then I have bought two more. In my opinion they are a very useful cup that is not only stylish, but sufficient as well. Stanley continues to make their product more beneficial for their customers. One of the things that might be a downfall of the Stanley cup is that it spills easily when knocked over, but recently, Stanley has created cups that have plugs that prevent it from leaking now. I know for a fact that they work better because my newest one doesn't spill like my old one does. Personally I love my Stanley's and would recommend them to anyone.
