“While Stanley Quenchers are all the rage, we strongly advise against turning to crime to fulfill your hydration habits,” police said.

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.

    Thank you, I read this and was shocked the hockey trophy was stolen, and was so cheap.

    I saw that Homer Simpson meme and had no idea I was supposed to be looking at the other cups XD

    Why are they popular? I’ve got 3 excellent thermos cup type things from Costco for 20 bucks…

      As far as I understand, it’s influencer fashion. Somebody with a popular Tiktok account has said “you’ve got to have one of these” and it was so.
