Are we okay?
I mean as a society. Like, are we good?
Cuz this whole Stanley cup thing is getting a little out of hand. Stanley just released a Valentine's Day edition of their extremely popular insulated cup and people went absolutely nuts over it. The special edition cup, which, like all Stanley cups, keeps your beverage either hot or cold and can apparently survive a fire, cost a whopping $45, and is now going for upwards of $200 on eBay. Not joking.
Although the holiday is over a month away, the double-wall vacuum-insulated tumblers priced at $45 have sold out online and across Target stores nationwide after their initial Dec. 31 drop … the tumblers are already up on resale sites like eBay, listed at prices up to $240.
And when I say people went nuts I mean these peeps camped out at Target as early as 3 a.m. to get in line for the cup's release.
Don't believe me?
VIDEO AT LINK...........
I'm sorry, but..
What's going on here, guys?
Like, are we twelve?
I mean, look at this:

This is crazy, yo. Like, legit crazy.
Some Target stores had a 2-cup limit per household (some had a limit of one).
This couple even tried to steal one! 👇

If only people held this type of passion for things that actually matter, such as:

Okay, I'll stop being a grumpy old man, and I'll leave you this slightly uplifting video of a man and his daughter camping out for one of the Stanley cups, because I myself am also a bit of a pushover when it comes to the girls in my life:

Hate to say it, but I kinda love that video.
I took my girls to see Prince. It was a blast.
Definitely a bargain at $45!
My tumbler is nicer than that and it does at least as good of a job as that one.
Another life-changing item that will be in the garage sale in a couple of years.
That woman makes my skin crawl.
Dang! It’s not like they were giving away Taylor Swift tickets or something important like that!............
I never watched that show............
Did you happen to notice who was buying /stealing these priceless treasures?...............
Goodwills.................
I can’t imagine paying that much, but the cups have excellent reviews for keeping things hot or cold.
“keeps your beverage either hot or cold”
seriously? hot OR cold? ... i wonder how that’s even possible ... how does it know to keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold? ... must be one o’ dem smart cups! ... no wonder dey’s so ‘spensive ...
Reminds me of the Cabbage Patch and Beany Baby doll crazes a while back.
Want to buy some old Beanie Babies?.
My wife still has a couple hundred..............
Cabbage Patch Kids
Beanie Babies
The latest “most amazing iCrap yet”.
It’s not new.
Don’t sane people have better things to do with their time and money than devoting their lives and attention to such inane minutia?
Oh, I see the problem.
That was mildly amusing ...
back in about 1983 ...
>It’s not new.<
Neither is this cup. It’s been around a while. Just a different color.............
