Apparently these "Stanley" brand cups went viral on TikTok, and TikTok users proceeded to buy them all up in a craze. The meme shows homer sitting next to the championship trophy of the National Hockey League, which is called the Stanley cup (no relation whatsoever to the Stanley name brand). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (1 child) so it's the next hydroflask? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheEEEdiot@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago (2 children) It's the next Nalgene Canteen.
