What makes these better than hydro flask or yeti? Or their ripoffs?
The guy who ran Crocs shoes marketing years ago is the same guy behind this marketing.
Cache. It’s the “in” thing right now. Single-handedly improved Stanley’s profit margin
Stanley is OG though, I got one handed down from my gramps back in the day that still gets use. They just recently started wrapping them in colors other than black or army green lol
Yeah, they have always been bomb proof in terms of quality. Someone got the idea to slap some pastel or bright colours on them and white chicks went wild for it.
I don't get it. I mean I get that it's a fad, but why? Same with the fucking mullets; christ. Mullets were fucking terrible the first time around.
I'm getting older and that Abe Simpson quote about used to being with it is getting frighteningly accurate.
Sure, back when they were made in America, but Stanley has been dog shit at everything they have made since the 80's when they started outsourcing all their manufacturing to China
That's a good point, entirely new owners and all that. Definitely not still selling the "Stanley by Aladdin" thermos from the 70s.
I got one years ago but get annoyed with the over engineered press to sip lid because I have to wash it
I mean, technically, any profitable product will single handedly improve a company's profit margin, but I get your drift -- the Stanley Cup crazy is extraordinary.
Cachet.
THANK YOU. Looking at the word going “wait, I’m missing something”.
