The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.
Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.
“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.
Crime aside, if I ever spend $45 on a water bottle, you all have permission to kill me.
I’ve been reusing my liter bottle of aquafina for months now. Just buy a regular fuckin bottle and reuse it.
Those leach microplastic into your water. Don’t reuse them. Although any $1 water bottle is probably safe.
Honestly the research shows microplastics are already everywhere so I’m not really worried about that
Car exhaust is everywhere. Do you huff directly from the tailpipe?
The main difference is microplastics are literally everywhere.
Bought a plastic wrapped sandwich? Microplastics. Drank from a plastic cup? Microplastics. Ate something that was prepared in a factory with plastic packaging? Microplastics.
Even things that don’t look like plastics like fast food foil wrappers are still full of microplastics.
Idgaf anymore.
You missed a really big one of: did you wear clothing the has synthetic fibers? Bam! (Emeril voice) micro plastics.
Not quite that expensive but, my LTT Water bottle is super nice tbh, no regrets
My regrets about my LTT bottle is that it’s LTT. Still a functional bottle though.
I mean it would probably just about last a lifetime. Stanley are good bottles. Do you go through water bottles fast somehow?
You can lose a $20 water bottle as easily as a $45.
Well that’s not the water bottle’s fault. If you’re prone to losing things then yeah a lifetime purchase isn’t for you. I don’t buy nice sunglasses for that reason, lol.
No, I don’t go through water bottles fast, which is exactly why I wouldn’t spend $45 on one.

You can get highly rated mugs which are just as good for a lot less. You’re paying a premium for a brand name.
Also, even an 18-oz Yeti is cheaper than one of these Stanley cups by $10-15.
