Stanley Quencher cups released in dreamy new tie-dye designs

Thanks to a little app called TikTok, you may already know what the Stanley cup is. For the uninitiated, allows us to explain. It's a huge 1.2L tumbler complete with a built in straw and handle so you can stay hydrated on the go at all times.

Made popular thanks to its viral success on the social media platform, where the hashtag #StanleyCup has no less than 5 billion (yes billion) video views. Users have raved about how it has helped them up their water intake, the various aesthetic pastel colours it's available in and how well it keeps drinks cold or hot.

Since becoming available in the UK last year, the water bottle has consistently sold out, so getting your hands on the coveted item is trickier than it sounds. Luckily, Stanley has just launched the popular cup in two new exclusive patterned designs: Peach Tie-dye and Ocean Tie-dye.

As for the TikTok hype, Stanley's Quencher cups recently made headlines after TikTok user, Danielle Marie Lettering, shared a video of the aftermath of her car that had caught on fire. The only thing still intact? Her Stanley cup with ice still inside. The video has racked up over 95 million views.

Why we rate it

So what's so good about that it warrants a hefty £44.99 price tag?

Firstly, it can keep hot drinks hot for up seven hours and cold drinks cool for up to 11 hours (or as long as two days if iced), thanks to a vacuum insulation design. The exterior is also made from 90% recycled stainless steel.

Designed to help you stay hydrated with minimal refills, it holds 1.2 litres of liquid and comes complete with a straw opening and reusable straw to help you sip easily.

Do Stanley cups contain lead?

Recently, Stanley hit the news for reportedly containing lead, causing controversy on social media. The brand has since given several statements to reinforce the safety of its product. Plus, a number of experts have spoken about the claims not being a cause for concern.

Stanley have said they use lead in the manufacturing process and it can only pose a risk of lead exposure if the cover on the bottom of the tumbler comes off and exposes the pellet used to seal the cup's vacuum insulation.

Stanley have given customers more transparency on the process, reiterating that “no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.”

In the rare occurrence the base cap of a product comes off, it is eligible to claim against Stanley’s Lifetime Warranty, which can be found here.
