Woman arrested after police found $2,500 worth of Stanley cups in her car
“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.

I honestly don't get these fads. Last one that left me scratching my head like this was the yeti cooler craze, and before that was the instapot craze. Mindless hyper consumerism, that will be used just as much as your last mug, cooler, pot all of which are likely in a landfill now.
The only one I get is the Instapot. I actually use that a lot, and it makes incredible food in a very short time.
My grandma used pressure cookers in the 50s, they weren't very safe then. But even before the instapot, pressure cookers had all sorts of safety features that make them quite usable. I just don't get the hype of one instance of commodity items.
It's so ridiculous to see it getting pushed in real-time too. A few days ago every news outlet was simultaneously posting stories about these stupid cups or people waiting in line to buy these cups out of the blue just trying to drive the latest craze. There's no way that's organic.
