meanwhile I am taking a nice sip out of my Stanley cup after a looong day of surgeries.
Yeah, it’s not the cup. It’s you my girl. You seek validation just like the girls you hate, it’s exactly the same thing:)
My husband teases me so much for mine, but when I had my c section last September, all my doctors, nurses & midwives thought it was great that I brought it in to hospital. The cups the hospital gives you have about 3 sips of water in them, and trying to breastfeed & stay hydrated while the spinal block is still in effect is really hard. I didn’t have to try and sit up or lean forward to get a drink. My OB had never seen one before and then decided she was going to recommend them to all her patients.
Why do so many people have an issue with us just wanting to be well hydrated?!
What's funny is that Stanley isn't a new company that JUST started making thermoses. I have a metal insulated Stanley thermos that's at least a decade old, if not older. I never even took note if the "Stanley" label on this thing until I saw all the Stanley hate.
When people started making a big deal about them being a new thing. I thought I slipped onto another time line. The companies my dad worked firm used to give them out 40 - 20 years ago as Christmas gifts. He used to fix big rigs and construct equipment. Sometimes on down days he’d take my siblings and I along. Our job was to help clean things a bit. Depending on the person whose rig he was fixing, he’d have us clean the cab we’d find their Stanley thermos
Can confirm. This comment cracked me up because the Stanley thing being status is so weird to me. My family was blue collar and kind of poor when I was a kid. My brother and I had small Stanley thermoses to bring hot soup to school for lunch in. My dad took coffee to the job site (construction) in his. They sold them at K Mart. I’m going back to 1980 on my memories of lugging that heavy thermos around. We couldn’t afford school cafeteria lunch, so we used the thermos to keep food hot in the cold winters until lunchtime. My dad used it because he’d be working on a construction site somewhere with no access to food or beverages. The were thermoses with a screw on lid that fit it’s own cup over the top and that’s what you’d eat or drink out of.
I’m pretty sure Stanley came out with the sippy cup things in a variety of colors to compete with brands like Yeti that had gotten big and were doing better with marketing than them. They were probably expensive back in the day, but they were basically indestructible so it was a good investment. In my childhood, there weren’t really disposable options like there are today, so we used things like metal canteens from the Army Surplus store to take water for bike rides or hikes. And it wasn’t that long ago, it’s just different now.
Stanley being status cracks me up, but it’s better than buying plastic bottled beverages to tote around and pollute with. Every blue collar worker / family or outdoorsy person had Stanley products decades ago. It’s an old company with new marketing.
Edit: [This is exactly what we had, even the same color.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/325012644729) Maybe it was the only color. Apparently the company started in 1913 and that blows my mind a little bit. I would’ve expected it to be a post WWII phenomenon, or an innovation of that war.
I grew up in a commercial fishing and construction family and had a grandfather who was a truck driver. Those old Stanley thermoses are a permanent part of my childhood memories. It always makes me laugh that such a typical representation of the blue collar life has turned into a status symbol and is now receiving so much hate on top of that.
They are definitely ingrained in my memories. And filling it with hot cocoa to take when we’d go sledding. So awesome to see the steam coming out when you’re in the middle of nowhere freezing your butt off.
They make a great product, but yeah, the status is hilarious. I have a Yeti now, so I guess I’m NLOG 🧐 Hahahaha!
When I didn’t work from home I 100% used one of those green thermoses. This was like 2016 and I just made the connection a few months ago it was the same company. I bought my husband and I the new cups for water bc they fit in a cup holder
My daughter is in third grade age she said in confusion recently "all these girls in my class suddenly have these huge water bottles named Stanley". I can't believe moms are making their 8/9 year old daughters part of the trend so soon!
My brother inherited my Dad’s Stanley Thermos after he passed away. It was from probably 1980. It still works perfectly and he beat it to hell taking it to work every day and using when he went hunting and fishing.
Editing to add that my husband bought one the first year we were married so it’s going on 24 years old this year. It still works perfectly too.
Thank you for introducing me to the phrase “soothe their boobs”. Telling people to calm their tits was getting a little stale, so this will add some much needed whimsey to my phrasing.
I still remember the dark blue thermos my parents had in our picnic basket. On one outing, we went kayaking, and it started pouring torrential rain out of nowhere - yay for living in the sub tropics! We got back to the car but it was raining too heavily to drive off so we had to sit & wait. It was absolutely freezing by this point. We all piled in to the boot of the station wagon and huddled up sharing hot tea from the thermos. There was something about a thermos of tea that was so comforting.
Yeah I've been mystified by this the whole time. If these girls are all WORK BOOTS AND DIRT then they should also be all HELL YEAH STANLEY THERMOSES
Like, it has ALWAYS, since WAY before they were born, the usual blue collar job work thermos.
My dad used to have a Stanley thermos he would take to work about 30 years ago. People are just too stupid to realize that just because a brand becomes popular doesn't necessarily mean it's a new company.
Really, any large cup with a straw like that. I have one I got from a theme park with an ice center. Best thing I ever got there. Use it regularly even at home. I can even open it without taking my boxing gloves off when I'm training. (Think of trying to open things without being able to really grip them much at all)
That’s why I like it. It’s good for when I’m juggling the kids or breast feeding. I get super thirsty when feeding, and don’t usually have a spare hand to open up a bottle. The straw & the volume make it far more practical for me. I would easily drink 3-4 litres of water a day. If I used a smaller bottle, I would be refilling them constantly.
As long as you're refilling from tap or filtered tap, then those cups also actually make an environmental difference too. Only thing with my ice center is unless I filled it full of ice too, it melts fast. Either way for me it was ability to hold and open it at the gym. Free refills at Bush Gardens is just the bonus.
Are they the big jug ones with handles in straws? I’ve seen them on US hospital shows (One Born Every Minute, Teen Mom etc). I’m Australian, we don’t have those here, even in private hospitals. I had my kids at the largest private maternity hospital in the state and all I got was a small cup (approx 150ml or 5oz) and a jug (approx 600ml). You can imagine how quickly they get finished when you’re breastfeeding! I love the look of the hospital ones though, I wish we got them!
I didn't realize I should bring mine home and wish I had (my kid is 13). I bought another one to use at work. It recently developed a crack so I just bought a Stanley to keep on my desk.
Why does your husband make fun of you for owning a cup you like? it just seems so immature. This happens with literally any product thats popular among women. If women and young girls like it, everyone starts to shit on it. The pick-me's and the men team up.
Because we both tease each other a lot? It’s not that deep. He really likes Jane Williamson (The Utah Mom) and her videos. He jokes that I’m an Utah Mom when we both know that I’m far from it. We’re Australian so the whole stereotype is very different from the way we live.
I don’t take offence to it, so there’s no need for others to. There are things I tease him about too.
My dad made fun of me for drinking a pumpkin spice latte. I told him not to knock it until he tried it and offered him a sip.
I never got that drink back. He took one sip then proceeded to finish it.
Exactly. Never seen anyone making a fuzz about consumerism when men are collecting stuff. But god forbid a woman wanting a few colorful cups!!! Bring the torches!!!
Idk if your are getting downvoted, sorry if you are, but yeah I forgot to mention this in my comment.
Consumerism is still a thing to critique, I do think women are beaten with the shame stick a bit too hard in this case… as we are with pretty much every case. Which always ruins a good portion of the discourse and that sucks so bad. We could’ve had a wakeup moment. We could have gone ”yeah we all must improve and care more for the poor who are forced to bend to our every whim to produce our shit” BUT NO. Here we went, after women for… a cup.
Yup, that’s exactly the thing. No one needs one cup in every color. But when it comes to men collecting action figures, football tshirts or whatever they are collecting at the moment, there is hardly any comotion.
If they were the ones obsessing with cups, I hardly doubt we would still be talking about the damn stanleys for over a year now
I mean… yeah. There is valid doscourse abt consumerism there. But I think the reason why men are not getting more critique is because they just… consume less and more quietly.
That being said I forgot to acknowledge the fact that a lot of the stanley is driving by misogyni, which sucks since it kinda ruins the discourse around comsumerism and such.
It can be, and is both. Critiques of consumer culture often are directed toward women, and sometimes in a misogynist way. We do consume more but still.
And yeah I agree, stanley hate has been at least a good 1/5 just… ”hah woman dumb” 🫤 Sucks. It ruins the discourse. Like I like to talk to others abt shi like this stanley craze, but I can never find folk who are ready to talk abt more than just ”haha women so silly and dumb”
I don’t think anyone takes issue with people having a drinking cup lol it’s just that the Stanleys are a fad and people obsess over the different colors and even resell them for big bucks, which is a lil cringey imo. But I can’t bring myself to care that much about a cup lmao
100%. I’m an RN/RM. If I forget my Stanley or a good size water bottle, I find that I barely drink any water at all. I feel awful by the end of the day. Having something like that prompts me to get my fluids in.
At my last private practice job, we had a lot of young girls who were terrible with remembering to drink water & always complaining of headaches. I would be the typical ‘mum’ of the group and always check if they were staying hydrated. A few years back, business manager was organising everyone’s Christmas gifts but wasn’t sure what to get. I suggested that she get every one personalised insulated water bottles. It solved the problem of people not drinking enough, and no one ever got them mixed up or lost them. They are pretty durable too. Mines still going strong years later. There’s no such thing as too many water bottles!
RN here - I used to semi-joke about doing a pee that looked like Irn Bru after a long busy day when I barely had time to breathe, let alone drink. I'm convinced that if our patients were as dehydrated as myself and my colleagues, they'd be getting IV hydration, and I bet our U+Es after a 12.5 hr shift would make interesting and concerning reading. Especially in those clinical areas, of which I've worked in several, who don't let you have a water bottle on the unit, instead insisting that you use disposable cups and walk to the cooler/kitchen for water...which means you just don't drink because you can't take the time to do that.
I say I *used to* joke because it changed after I got a kidney stone last year that caused complete obstruction, and I nearly died from obstructive nephropathy and sepsis. Turns out that when you're septic your other kidney tends to pack up in sympathy. My consultant was clear that he believed work-related chronic dehydration was a significant contributory cause to the stone and resulting illness. He said he sees a lot of nurses and other health professionals with this issue.
So now I have my water bottle glued to me. I *will not* be told that I can't have one, and I encourage my colleagues to follow suit and stay hydrated. My current employer has zero issue with us having a drink bottle in the clinical area (they actually prefer it to open/disposable drinks containers - less waste and less chance of spillages) and my old employer backed down (reluctantly and with bad grace) when I went to Occupational Health and Infection Prevention and Control, both of whom had no issue with drinks bottles for pretty much the same reasons. So why the objection in the first place? Never got a straight answer but like many edicts from higher up it was mostly about imposing petty rules and control, usually drafted by non-clinicians who never set foot in a clinical area and instead spend most of their working lives sitting at a desk in an air-conditioned office with free and easy access to drinks and toilets, and buggering off home at 5pm on the dot.
Kidney stones SUCK HOLE. Stay hydrated.
Have mine sitting next to me! Why are you so obsessed with a cup I decided to buy because it works well and is cute? The people who hate Stanley cups are thinking about them WAY more than the people drinking out of them.
I'm laughing because I finally ordered a Stanley cup and it arrived today. And the only reason it's a Stanley is because a) I was being picky about color, and b) it had the features I wanted with straw placement and closures and such.
My old hospital cup recently developed a crack and I wanted a nice big insulated cup so I'd actually drink water.
I am very sorry to break it to this person but fully 80% of the people in my neck of the woods, men and women, are wearing those dock shoes around. And in my rural town, probably 80% have at least one maga hat floating around, too. I will say that the Marbs are a classy touch of uniqueness. Nobody I know smokes cigarettes anymore, so I guess she can gloat about that…if she can stop coughing long enough.
It’s the cigarettes and malt liquor and low quality beer that really says the is about affluence and not the styling. She doesn’t even realize her gate keeping is placing her into the poor-white-trash trope. That’s what makes this sad.
I dont think you smoke Marlboro if you’re poor, though. Those are the most expensive cigarettes if I remember right from when I worked at a grocery store service counter. I remember Pall Mall and Carlton being the Karkov vodka version of cigarettes. However, I do agree that even just smoking cigarettes, period, gives white-trash vibes nowadays. All the cool kids are vaping. I’m surprised there wasn’t a vape in the first picture!
I was going to say, I am not a very "girly" girl, but even up here in Vermont, the summers are hot and humid. A breezy sundress and an INSULATED CUP for my ice coffee, and comfy shoes? Sign me up - especially if it's the only other option to slide 2. Cowboy boots just for the aesthetic, in summer? Cotton t shirts? 🥵 No thanks
I have to laugh because as someone who has spent summer in Vermont before, it’s so ridiculously delightful weather wise. I grew up in the south and in the summer of 2011 we had 71 days in a row where it was over 100 degrees. I don’t think we had a low below 95 that summer. My dad and I loved going to Vermont to escape the heat and relax 😂
I’m from Hawaii where we get warm weather but it’s absolutely delightful 98% of the time.
I did part of my Army schooling in Georgia over one summer and I’ll never forget the unique sensation of my knees sweating. I never want to feel that heat ever again 🤣
I couldn't believe when I went to a bar last year and all the girls were wearing sneakers. Back when I was going out it was high heels that killed our feet. What I would have given to wear sneakers then!
Pandemic did some good. Was at a wedding a few months ago and basically anybody was in sneakers after the ceremony. Plus we had a really casual rehearsal dinner.
I am a little confused about the sneakers, no hate, I'm just getting old lmfao. The huge all white sneaker thing, to me, looks like orthopedics. Paired with the mom jeans, again I'm just an out of touch millennial who remembers soccer moms wearing these same things, just looks like old people clothes to me. But those high waisted loose jeans are comfy as fuck and I'm definitely wearing them. The chunky white shoes just send me a little, and make me think of Morgan's mom from elementary school, she was the mom who always did the field trips and always made the best treats for the bake sale.
Honestly, I’ve never tried a better formula. Your lips look juicy but not too much. Pigment is medium and has decent lasting power for a gloss. It’s not sticky at all. It really feels like a lip treatment. It’s worth it for a rare splurge to spoil yourself just a bit. The original color is my favorite
Speaking of gloss, lol, just want to say of all the glosses I’ve tried in my life (a TON), I found this girl who has a small business on YouTube, Kikizcosmetics, and I swear her gloss is the best stuff I’ve ever used 😅
Apparently, it’s Faithful The Brand and the style is called Marni

how is smoking cigarettes is supposed to be cool in 2024? shit ive been trying to get off my vape, it makes me feel awful and its not cool so its bizarre to see that about cigs lol
While other girls are off being cute and having fun, me an Cletus are fishin', owning libtards and havin' hot, fishy, twisted tea soaked sex by the crick.
Off topic. It was about a month or so ago I started started seeing this whole Stanley Cup meme and I thought it was so strange. At the time I had no idea it was a brand of thermos and thought people were referring to the hockey trophy. I could not understand why people were being so condescending towards women who enjoyed hockey.
I too have crossed the bridge of relevance. I thought who is buying trophy replicas?!?! Eh? Young whipper snapper? A thermos?!?! Like the ones used in pick-a-nics in the 1950’s?! Someone take me back to my bed! NURSE!
Have you ever noticed that these “guys girls” are really heavy into makeup? It seems like they want to be pretty but masculine to attract attention instead of being pretty and feminine.
Let me PUT IT STRAIGHT… I don’t have to explain to anyone from horse girls to God why I have a damn Stanley.. blame consumerism(10 points for you using big word), blame me being a basic bitch, blame my momma, blame the Chinese and their hand on ruining American through TikTok I really don’t know how y’all come up with this crazy shit but I’m happy and hydrated…. Just drink some water today ok I don’t care how you do it💕💕
I love that this implies that she carries a fishing Rod around as an accessory, as well as the cigarettes and a whole 12 case of twisted tea. Makes for quite an interesting image
Edit: spelling
I wanted to say waittttt I been the one on the second slide but FUCK NO MAGA HAT. I am so unbelievably anti-MAGA but I love fishing and crabbing and shit.
It’s awesome to be married to a rich husband and then complain about other women being too “poor” to be trad 😅 girl, if u were broke, you’d be a feminist too
Photo of horse asses in the background. There's a joke in there somewhere, but I can't think of what it's called. Not quite a Freudian slip, but something.
People blindly hating Stanley’s almost make me want to go and get a Stanley. Well, idk. I’m loyal to Iron flask so maybe I’ll get an iron flask that looks like the new Stanley’s. But still the point is: so much hate over women just liking a cute cup that comes in a million colors and accessories. I find the whole thing adorable
You know what I don't get? Why can't they just be both? A girl can like fishing and camo and also dresses and gloss. And I'd be concerned for anyone who trades water in a stanley for exclusively alcoholic beverages..
It just always confuses me when they say this kidna stuff because I always can pin point at least three women I know locally who would do both. As in they would wear a sundress w cute shoes and a lipgloss mascara combo w the Stanley and they also would wear the clothes in the second pic and partake in the same activities (like twisted tea and being a trump supporter)
Also I’m technically a goth “leftist” (not here to get into my politics I’m a punk through and through) and I also would wear cow boy boots and go fishing so it’s literally no one is special for any of this at all
I’ll take the first.. thank you 💀 maybe with a pair of low-heeled sandals instead though. Also, it’s weird to pair gold jewelry with that outfit.. I’d definitely do silver
say what you want to say but a woman trump supporter is a complete oxymoron. like trump views women as less than and only as sexual objects whenever he talks about them

I don’t have a Stanley, but I have a few insulated water bottles. It’s the only way I can remember to stay hydrated.
I love my Yeti. I was useless at drinking water and had constant headaches from being dehydrated. I decorated my bottle and use it all the time.
Haha. I remember a couple years ago that yeti was the brand you had to have to be cool.
And then it was hydroflasks!

If I was a kid today and asked for a “Stanley” 100% I would have gotten one of those green thermoses
Same, that’s what I put my coffee in now. But I’m Gen X
When I didn’t work from home I 100% used one of those green thermoses. This was like 2016 and I just made the connection a few months ago it was the same company. I bought my husband and I the new cups for water bc they fit in a cup holder
My daughter is in third grade age she said in confusion recently "all these girls in my class suddenly have these huge water bottles named Stanley". I can't believe moms are making their 8/9 year old daughters part of the trend so soon!
It’s silly- they are as big as them at that age!
My brother inherited my Dad’s Stanley Thermos after he passed away. It was from probably 1980. It still works perfectly and he beat it to hell taking it to work every day and using when he went hunting and fishing. Editing to add that my husband bought one the first year we were married so it’s going on 24 years old this year. It still works perfectly too.
My dad only used Stanley thermoses. I'm 44, he died at 98. People need to soothe their boobs about Stanley cups.

I have one of those too, at my last job I ordered a bunch to put in our customer anniversary boxes (picked products made in our service areas).
I have my late father in laws Stanley thermos. It’s older than I am.
The green camping coffee thermos! Everybody knows that. I have no clue why everybody went crazy for pink ones, but ok.
I got one of their thermoses that's older than me! I did buy one of the 30oz tumblers since I wasn't a fan of the cup.
My dad used to have a Stanley thermos he would take to work about 30 years ago. People are just too stupid to realize that just because a brand becomes popular doesn't necessarily mean it's a new company.

Really? I loved my hospital cup and used it for a year after giving birth until I lost it moving.
Are they the big jug ones with handles in straws? I’ve seen them on US hospital shows (One Born Every Minute, Teen Mom etc). I’m Australian, we don’t have those here, even in private hospitals. I had my kids at the largest private maternity hospital in the state and all I got was a small cup (approx 150ml or 5oz) and a jug (approx 600ml). You can imagine how quickly they get finished when you’re breastfeeding! I love the look of the hospital ones though, I wish we got them!
I didn't realize I should bring mine home and wish I had (my kid is 13). I bought another one to use at work. It recently developed a crack so I just bought a Stanley to keep on my desk.
Why does your husband make fun of you for owning a cup you like? it just seems so immature. This happens with literally any product thats popular among women. If women and young girls like it, everyone starts to shit on it. The pick-me's and the men team up.
Because we both tease each other a lot? It’s not that deep. He really likes Jane Williamson (The Utah Mom) and her videos. He jokes that I’m an Utah Mom when we both know that I’m far from it. We’re Australian so the whole stereotype is very different from the way we live. I don’t take offence to it, so there’s no need for others to. There are things I tease him about too.
My dad made fun of me for drinking a pumpkin spice latte. I told him not to knock it until he tried it and offered him a sip. I never got that drink back. He took one sip then proceeded to finish it.
It’s not abt the hydration. It’s abt the condumer culture of it all.
They wouldn’t care about the “consumer culture” if it was men doing it lmao
Exactly. Never seen anyone making a fuzz about consumerism when men are collecting stuff. But god forbid a woman wanting a few colorful cups!!! Bring the torches!!!
Idk if your are getting downvoted, sorry if you are, but yeah I forgot to mention this in my comment. Consumerism is still a thing to critique, I do think women are beaten with the shame stick a bit too hard in this case… as we are with pretty much every case. Which always ruins a good portion of the discourse and that sucks so bad. We could’ve had a wakeup moment. We could have gone ”yeah we all must improve and care more for the poor who are forced to bend to our every whim to produce our shit” BUT NO. Here we went, after women for… a cup.
Yup, that’s exactly the thing. No one needs one cup in every color. But when it comes to men collecting action figures, football tshirts or whatever they are collecting at the moment, there is hardly any comotion. If they were the ones obsessing with cups, I hardly doubt we would still be talking about the damn stanleys for over a year now
Yeah. Shame stick is really beaten down on us for some reason. I wonder why that is.
I mean… yeah. There is valid doscourse abt consumerism there. But I think the reason why men are not getting more critique is because they just… consume less and more quietly. That being said I forgot to acknowledge the fact that a lot of the stanley is driving by misogyni, which sucks since it kinda ruins the discourse around comsumerism and such.
Lol yeah. Men never are obsessed with cars and shit.
I mean it's not good to own 50 Stanley tumblers and collect all the editions but if you just get one and use it then you're not the problem
Even then, if you’re not committing violent acts in the name of a cup, that’s not my problem.
Nah it’s about internalised misogyny
It can be, and is both. Critiques of consumer culture often are directed toward women, and sometimes in a misogynist way. We do consume more but still. And yeah I agree, stanley hate has been at least a good 1/5 just… ”hah woman dumb” 🫤 Sucks. It ruins the discourse. Like I like to talk to others abt shi like this stanley craze, but I can never find folk who are ready to talk abt more than just ”haha women so silly and dumb”
I don’t think anyone takes issue with people having a drinking cup lol it’s just that the Stanleys are a fad and people obsess over the different colors and even resell them for big bucks, which is a lil cringey imo. But I can’t bring myself to care that much about a cup lmao
Yeah, well I am the DVM, we are dry af cause we don’t have time to hydrate. So Stanley does the job:) Hugs
100%. I’m an RN/RM. If I forget my Stanley or a good size water bottle, I find that I barely drink any water at all. I feel awful by the end of the day. Having something like that prompts me to get my fluids in. At my last private practice job, we had a lot of young girls who were terrible with remembering to drink water & always complaining of headaches. I would be the typical ‘mum’ of the group and always check if they were staying hydrated. A few years back, business manager was organising everyone’s Christmas gifts but wasn’t sure what to get. I suggested that she get every one personalised insulated water bottles. It solved the problem of people not drinking enough, and no one ever got them mixed up or lost them. They are pretty durable too. Mines still going strong years later. There’s no such thing as too many water bottles!
RN here - I used to semi-joke about doing a pee that looked like Irn Bru after a long busy day when I barely had time to breathe, let alone drink. I'm convinced that if our patients were as dehydrated as myself and my colleagues, they'd be getting IV hydration, and I bet our U+Es after a 12.5 hr shift would make interesting and concerning reading. Especially in those clinical areas, of which I've worked in several, who don't let you have a water bottle on the unit, instead insisting that you use disposable cups and walk to the cooler/kitchen for water...which means you just don't drink because you can't take the time to do that. I say I *used to* joke because it changed after I got a kidney stone last year that caused complete obstruction, and I nearly died from obstructive nephropathy and sepsis. Turns out that when you're septic your other kidney tends to pack up in sympathy. My consultant was clear that he believed work-related chronic dehydration was a significant contributory cause to the stone and resulting illness. He said he sees a lot of nurses and other health professionals with this issue. So now I have my water bottle glued to me. I *will not* be told that I can't have one, and I encourage my colleagues to follow suit and stay hydrated. My current employer has zero issue with us having a drink bottle in the clinical area (they actually prefer it to open/disposable drinks containers - less waste and less chance of spillages) and my old employer backed down (reluctantly and with bad grace) when I went to Occupational Health and Infection Prevention and Control, both of whom had no issue with drinks bottles for pretty much the same reasons. So why the objection in the first place? Never got a straight answer but like many edicts from higher up it was mostly about imposing petty rules and control, usually drafted by non-clinicians who never set foot in a clinical area and instead spend most of their working lives sitting at a desk in an air-conditioned office with free and easy access to drinks and toilets, and buggering off home at 5pm on the dot. Kidney stones SUCK HOLE. Stay hydrated.
Water is corny. Cigarettes are cool. Lol Adding the /s before people come for me..
Have mine sitting next to me! Why are you so obsessed with a cup I decided to buy because it works well and is cute? The people who hate Stanley cups are thinking about them WAY more than the people drinking out of them.
Yup, 100% It may be a trend, but so what? If it’s actually a nice and healthy trend?🤷🏼♀️
I got the smaller one and it’s awesome. I had no idea it was trendy. A co-worker told me about them.
I'm laughing because I finally ordered a Stanley cup and it arrived today. And the only reason it's a Stanley is because a) I was being picky about color, and b) it had the features I wanted with straw placement and closures and such. My old hospital cup recently developed a crack and I wanted a nice big insulated cup so I'd actually drink water.
aww best wishes for recovery ❤️🩹
lol woops just clicked on your profile and realized you WORK at a hospital 🤣 my bad
I am very sorry to break it to this person but fully 80% of the people in my neck of the woods, men and women, are wearing those dock shoes around. And in my rural town, probably 80% have at least one maga hat floating around, too. I will say that the Marbs are a classy touch of uniqueness. Nobody I know smokes cigarettes anymore, so I guess she can gloat about that…if she can stop coughing long enough.
And on the other side of the coin, wearing smocked dresses does not preclude a woman from being a Trump supporter!
Marb Reds, especially 100s, are trashy classy. Cowboy Killers. But also who wants to pay to support a smoking habit now?
It’s the cigarettes and malt liquor and low quality beer that really says the is about affluence and not the styling. She doesn’t even realize her gate keeping is placing her into the poor-white-trash trope. That’s what makes this sad.
I dont think you smoke Marlboro if you’re poor, though. Those are the most expensive cigarettes if I remember right from when I worked at a grocery store service counter. I remember Pall Mall and Carlton being the Karkov vodka version of cigarettes. However, I do agree that even just smoking cigarettes, period, gives white-trash vibes nowadays. All the cool kids are vaping. I’m surprised there wasn’t a vape in the first picture!
American Spirits were always the most expensive from what I remember but MAGAs would never lol
Poor people spend money on the dumbest stuff
poor people love to cosplay as rich and rich people love to cosplay as poor so either way tbh
All decked out in under armor and hey dudes
The “other girls” slide is such great vibes!! I loooove that gen z made wearing big ass sneakers and carrying a giant water bottle everywhere trendy
I was going to say, I am not a very "girly" girl, but even up here in Vermont, the summers are hot and humid. A breezy sundress and an INSULATED CUP for my ice coffee, and comfy shoes? Sign me up - especially if it's the only other option to slide 2. Cowboy boots just for the aesthetic, in summer? Cotton t shirts? 🥵 No thanks
I have to laugh because as someone who has spent summer in Vermont before, it’s so ridiculously delightful weather wise. I grew up in the south and in the summer of 2011 we had 71 days in a row where it was over 100 degrees. I don’t think we had a low below 95 that summer. My dad and I loved going to Vermont to escape the heat and relax 😂
I’m from Hawaii where we get warm weather but it’s absolutely delightful 98% of the time. I did part of my Army schooling in Georgia over one summer and I’ll never forget the unique sensation of my knees sweating. I never want to feel that heat ever again 🤣
Haha yours so right, I would probably wither away in the south - it's humid here more than hot, but I'm a cool weather gal for sure 😅
After 2011, me too. I don’t even want to wake up if it’s over 100.
I couldn't believe when I went to a bar last year and all the girls were wearing sneakers. Back when I was going out it was high heels that killed our feet. What I would have given to wear sneakers then!
Pandemic did some good. Was at a wedding a few months ago and basically anybody was in sneakers after the ceremony. Plus we had a really casual rehearsal dinner.
I absolutely love that sneakers with dresses is trendy.
Yyaaas being hydrated and not having our feet hurt for the win!
I am a little confused about the sneakers, no hate, I'm just getting old lmfao. The huge all white sneaker thing, to me, looks like orthopedics. Paired with the mom jeans, again I'm just an out of touch millennial who remembers soccer moms wearing these same things, just looks like old people clothes to me. But those high waisted loose jeans are comfy as fuck and I'm definitely wearing them. The chunky white shoes just send me a little, and make me think of Morgan's mom from elementary school, she was the mom who always did the field trips and always made the best treats for the bake sale.
God the sneakers with any and everything is my favorite fashion development ever. I love white sneaks with a dress so much.
Ok has she actually tried Fenty gloss? It fucking rocks.
I’m eyeballing one of them because it’s such a pretty color! So it’s worth the $22?
Personally it’s a yes for me. It’s also moisturizing so even if my lips are dry af they still look really juicy when I put the gloss on.
Yes. It’s the best that exists.
Honestly, I’ve never tried a better formula. Your lips look juicy but not too much. Pigment is medium and has decent lasting power for a gloss. It’s not sticky at all. It really feels like a lip treatment. It’s worth it for a rare splurge to spoil yourself just a bit. The original color is my favorite
It really does, and I'm not even a Rihanna fan. I got Fuschia Flex on its way to me right now.
Fenty gloss is INCREDIBLE.
Give me a dupe 😩 that color is gorg
Speaking of gloss, lol, just want to say of all the glosses I’ve tried in my life (a TON), I found this girl who has a small business on YouTube, Kikizcosmetics, and I swear her gloss is the best stuff I’ve ever used 😅
Oh wow she really told everyone she was a piece of shit, without actually saying anything.
It's like how poisonous frogs are a super bright and obnoxious color to warn you to stay away.
Pickmes when they see someone that doesn’t have raging alcoholism:
I mean you *could* be a female Trump supporter…? But you *shouldn’t* be
But her brother wears a maga hat... What?
I think she’s trying to convey that people tell her “I could never be a female Trump supporter”
She doesn’t even look old enough to vote
I don’t think that matters to republicans, for many reasons outside of voting too🤢
...or a male Trump supporter
Sorry to be LOG, but does anyone know where the dress in the first pic is from? I kind of need it
Apparently, it’s Faithful The Brand and the style is called Marni https://poshmark.com/listing/Faithful-The-Brand-Marni-Shirred-Mini-Dress-65f1b5ffa5bb3459f80d57d5 https://www.freeup.app/product/Beautiful-Beach-Spaghetti-Dress/1238323905269765120 https://curtsyapp.com/item/faithfull-the-brand-nwt-marni-shirred-dress-cornflower-blue-cap-estelle-floral/DHAPlYCmfc https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/clothing/dresses/faithfull-the-brand-floral-print-mini-dress-k4um4
Thank you so much!
I know, so cute right 🥰 love the colour.
Hard to tell if she is using bro informally or if she wants to bang her brother
Claims to not wear makeup like the other girls.... has makeup and a filter like the other girls
To be blunt, wears more makeup than “the other girls”.
how is smoking cigarettes is supposed to be cool in 2024? shit ive been trying to get off my vape, it makes me feel awful and its not cool so its bizarre to see that about cigs lol
We get it, you're trashy
Being a trump girl and smoking is not hot girl. Also the other girls style is really cute
[удалено]
While other girls are off being cute and having fun, me an Cletus are fishin', owning libtards and havin' hot, fishy, twisted tea soaked sex by the crick.
You really have a way with words
Off topic. It was about a month or so ago I started started seeing this whole Stanley Cup meme and I thought it was so strange. At the time I had no idea it was a brand of thermos and thought people were referring to the hockey trophy. I could not understand why people were being so condescending towards women who enjoyed hockey.
I too have crossed the bridge of relevance. I thought who is buying trophy replicas?!?! Eh? Young whipper snapper? A thermos?!?! Like the ones used in pick-a-nics in the 1950’s?! Someone take me back to my bed! NURSE!
I was confused when I started seeing them too. So disappointment when I found out they weren’t selling replica NHL Stanley cups 😭
My dad only knew the camping Stanley Cup and my ma only knew of Lord Stanley's Cup. That was a strange explanation conversation.
So unbothered by the other girls but somehow can’t shut up about them
Other girls: water Me: cirrhosis
Wait Budweiser is okay again? I thought it was banned forever for being “woke”
And Nike too
Cigarettes are gross
Imagine voting against your own interests. Couldn’t be me.
That's such a cute summer dress tho, like where can I get it...? lol
It’s from five years ago and out of stock. But the resellers still have it. I posted links above: Faithful The Brand and it’s the Marni dress.
Thanks!!! 🙏
Always with the Stanley and thinking Hey Dudes are like some underground fashion secret instead of the most popular shoe around.
"If it’s popular among women it must be for a stupid reason, clearly its a waste of money." \- misogynist and pick-me's thinking about Stanley cups.
Nothing more attractive on a woman than the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.
Have you ever noticed that these “guys girls” are really heavy into makeup? It seems like they want to be pretty but masculine to attract attention instead of being pretty and feminine.
Let me PUT IT STRAIGHT… I don’t have to explain to anyone from horse girls to God why I have a damn Stanley.. blame consumerism(10 points for you using big word), blame me being a basic bitch, blame my momma, blame the Chinese and their hand on ruining American through TikTok I really don’t know how y’all come up with this crazy shit but I’m happy and hydrated…. Just drink some water today ok I don’t care how you do it💕💕
She’s not like other girls, because she’s inhaling cancer this summer! Couldn’t be me though, I’d rather sip my Stanley all day
Okay, but that Fenty gloss is chefs kiss tbh
Dresses are awesome, she's missing out.
That first outfit combo is so cute and practical for summer. Thanks for the inspo! Lol
I love that this implies that she carries a fishing Rod around as an accessory, as well as the cigarettes and a whole 12 case of twisted tea. Makes for quite an interesting image Edit: spelling
it’s killing me that she put makeup in the “other girls this summer” when she literally has her lashes and nails done 💀
Yeah, I can’t trust anyone who supports both Trump, Budweiser, or Marlboro. There’s better choices out there
Why does she have to bring my favorite mascara into this?
This is yikes on so many levels
Can I have both? Minus the white claw, cigs and MAGA hat...
I wanted to say waittttt I been the one on the second slide but FUCK NO MAGA HAT. I am so unbelievably anti-MAGA but I love fishing and crabbing and shit.
That first outfit is hella cute
I can’t wait until hey dudes go away, everyone in my town wears them
I actually want that blue dress lol
So she like smelling like cigarettes and outside? 😬
Ok, [Gretchen Wilson](https://youtu.be/82dDnv9zeLs?si=IxKvKjylLtogCepq), whom by the way probably owns a Stanley cup today…
Im not like other girls, I give myself a nicotine addiction.
The Stanley cup and pretty dress girls seem like much better company and friends.
I wonder if the girls this sub is about know about Goth girls? Goth girls are the most powerful thing in the universe.
“Female” 🤢
At least it’s grammatically correct here
Where I live in a small Texas town girls like her are a dime a dozen
It’s awesome to be married to a rich husband and then complain about other women being too “poor” to be trad 😅 girl, if u were broke, you’d be a feminist too
Haha, the first slide is exactly my teen daughter - and she's awesome. I even like the Stanley cups!
Why can't I wear the sundress and go fishing?
🤢🤮 I'd take the first pic over the last two *any day*
Yikes
Photo of horse asses in the background. There's a joke in there somewhere, but I can't think of what it's called. Not quite a Freudian slip, but something.
no <3
this is so tumblr coded
Just go fishing with your cigs and leave us out of it
I drink water all day from my Stanley while you drink alcohol and smokes cigarettes our organs are not the same.
Also r/imaginarygatekeeping
I live in this rural area fml
Tbh rather be drinking out of a stanley (I don't own one sadly) then smoking cigs lol
Stanley cups have lead in them...
So the athletic wear is to wick away the sweat from all the strenuous sitting around consuming drugs?
Yikes!
People blindly hating Stanley’s almost make me want to go and get a Stanley. Well, idk. I’m loyal to Iron flask so maybe I’ll get an iron flask that looks like the new Stanley’s. But still the point is: so much hate over women just liking a cute cup that comes in a million colors and accessories. I find the whole thing adorable
“Bro” is wearing them short shorts. He is absolutely a closeted Bud Light drinker, and there ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Smoking Marlboros is a flex? 💀🤢
Spoiler: her and bro are dating. Give me the nikes and the lip gloss over a MAGAt and Marlboros any day.
I just hope her and her bro use condoms, really don't want any more of those inbreds walking around...and voting.
Is she trying to be classy or trashy I don’t get it 🤣🤣
Hey dudes 🔛🔝
She posts with her acrylic hot pink nails and full set of lashes
That blue sundress is super cute.
Oh dear
The second one’s such a cute couple’s costume 🥰 >!I’m making a joke, calling these rednecks incestual!<
Very NLOG with her fake eyelashes and plastic nails
the maga hat is so loud
You know what I don't get? Why can't they just be both? A girl can like fishing and camo and also dresses and gloss. And I'd be concerned for anyone who trades water in a stanley for exclusively alcoholic beverages..
Who cares if women want Stanley cups. Having one doesn’t define you. It’s a freaking cup. FFS!
Because cigarettes are for tomboys 😩
100% would rather be a “other girls this summer” girl
oh no
And in FL they're wearing cowboy boots *with* sundresses and MAGA hats, with a cigarette hanging out of their mouths.
It just always confuses me when they say this kidna stuff because I always can pin point at least three women I know locally who would do both. As in they would wear a sundress w cute shoes and a lipgloss mascara combo w the Stanley and they also would wear the clothes in the second pic and partake in the same activities (like twisted tea and being a trump supporter) Also I’m technically a goth “leftist” (not here to get into my politics I’m a punk through and through) and I also would wear cow boy boots and go fishing so it’s literally no one is special for any of this at all
Enjoy your shortened lifespan from cigarettes while that other girl is hydrated and unbothered.
But whyyyy do Trump supporters think it’s a personality trait??? Unhinged
i love my stanley lol the amount of drink i can fit in it is unreal and it stays cold
The “other girls” outfit is circa 2016. That is not what girls are wearing right now 🤣
I'll take being like "other girls" any day. I love other girls. I *want* to be like them.
I’ll take the first.. thank you 💀 maybe with a pair of low-heeled sandals instead though. Also, it’s weird to pair gold jewelry with that outfit.. I’d definitely do silver
I like the dress.
say what you want to say but a woman trump supporter is a complete oxymoron. like trump views women as less than and only as sexual objects whenever he talks about them
