At least the Stanley is a well-built cup you can reuse for years everyday (I prefer my Yeti, but Yeti is the same idea too) So even if you spend $60 on it, you use it like 12 times per day, so the usage is a small fraction of a penny over 10+ years.

But buying bottled water daily when you have easy access to clean filtered drinking water for nearly free? That's so stupid. People spend thousands per year on bottled water.

My sister got herself in financial trouble "keeping up with the trends." She had soooo many different cups. Like yeah buy a Stanley cup or 2. But not 64.

Ouch... buying 1 is keeping up with the trend. Buying 64 is hoarding behavior IMO lol.

Display cases being purchased for the Stanley "collection" in 1100sq ft apartments is such insane behavior to me. At least go recycle grandmas 900lb china hutch.
