Why is it that other than a season end hockey award, none of the people I know have ever heard of a Stanley until 2 weeks ago when stories about it became non stop....
Good marketing or is something else?
Same. I have never heard of this shit or seen anyone use one, until about two weeks ago when everyone everywhere started talking about them all at once...
Feels strange, right?
Honestly it's popularity doesn't surprise me. I used Stanlies everyday to make coffee for work and take food to work. My mom used to swear by them. I leveled up and bought different products after a while but did use Stanley for a long time. They're standard "good" thermoses. Bastards putting lead in it!
I knew lots of men at work who used them. I would be shocked if anyone at work didn't at least know the brand.
No, it is that I have never heard of or seen this brand before at all, anywhere, ever. I've a lot of jobs, including outdoors manual labor, a job that guys need a water bottle for. Seen plenty of Nalgene bottles, overpriced Hydroflasks, all the brands and fads, etc.
I feel like this brand didn't exist three weeks ago, and now it does.
I've had a stanley thermos and lunchbox I've used for decades. It's a 100 year old brand that made some sparkly colors and suddenly became popular.
Wonder if the CEO of YEDI refused to do do DEI or something
Actually, they went way too far INTO DIE. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/04/23/yeti-cuts-ties-nra-foundation-lobbyist-says-sparking-cries-boycott-cooler-company/541986002/
Stanley Tools and Stanley Steemer. Neither of which are affiliated with the poisoned chalice.
