The term “Stanley Cup” has been pretty well known in society, but not because it is so popular today. Before the cups really gained popularity, the term “Stanley Cup” was used regarding the title game in hockey. Nowadays, it is the brand of one of the most sought-after water bottles of the modern era.
The rise in Stanley Cup resale prices is absolutely outrageous. The highest price on eBay––at the time of writing this––for an individual, limited edition bottle was $3,000. Why would anyone buy a car when you can drink lead for the same price? Another cool feature is how some of the cups have a handle on them so that while you are handing over your life savings to buy the cup, you can easily hold the drink in the other hand.
The coolest thing about these cups, which is not advertised, is how anyone within a 100-mile radius can hear it when one of them is dropped. If someone correctly identifies the brand of the cup dropped, they should get a Stanley in the color of their choosing.
This new craving will likely have people throwing more punches at Target than passes thrown at the Super Bowl. One individual allegedly stole 65 Stanley cups from a store in California, which is essentially free advertising for the water bottles. It makes sense that this person stole a variety of different colors, as it is rumored that the color affects the flavor of the drink.
I am sure some people have bought more than one just so they can have the coolest new colors to prove they are the coolest of the cool. As someone who has one, I can confirm it does not improve the social standing of the person who owns the product. Results may vary and money will not be returned back to you if your social status declines because of your purchase. I did not buy my Stanley Cup. Rather, I won it at an auction. It keeps my water cold, though.
