I work from home and drink from mugs and I don’t tiktok, so this whole trendy cup thing is really confusing me.
Do they uncurse bad water or something?

It’s just a tiktok fad, the Guardian had a good article recently. Normal conspicuous consumption nonsense. They’re good quality, have been around for a long time, but now they come in colors. The cynical take would be that it is just the most recent way to visually confirm that someone has no individual personality without actually having to talk to them.

They used to be better. Or at least, the thermos were. I got a modern stanley thermos, from 2020. Holds temp fairly well, but not great. Hot coffee brewed fresh in the morning turns lukewarm by night. Ice cold water turns room temp in a day (no idea why that is).
A girl I used to date still had her father’s stanley thermos from the 70s-80s. That fucker could hold temp for ages. Apparently the company got bought out, and replaced the graphite lining with air. Or something like that.
Still, miles better than anything I can get locally.
I recently bought a Bubba brand thermos and even in dinner the ice I added stayed ice for almost 2 days. That was when I left it in the car. Love the thing, it just works very well and isn’t too pricey.
This sounds suspiciously like a brand found only in the American South.
You would think but I’m from the north east and it only cost $15 for the 40oz one at Walmart.
To be fair, I have no individual personality even without a Stanley cup.
