Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Do you consume the media on which it is popular? TikTok is the main source. I don’t have it installed nor do I watch the videos, so I have seen zero hype about it and only hear the complaints as well. However, a friend’s daughter is all about tiktok and the like, and yeah, she’s got 2-3 Stanley mugs. Dumbest thing ever. Can’t wait to see these mugs at yard sales for $5 in a few years.

Damn, marketing has sure done a number on people.

Yeah, that and the whole “challenge” scene is sharp as a box of bowling balls.

I've had tiktok for like 2 years now and haven't seen anything about these cups.

Then again I'm not a teenage girl so my feed isn't full of teenage girl shit

Oh, nope. I do not, and will not use TikTok.
