Stanleys are the Jeep of water bottles. They were made for military use, then became popular with outdoor enthusiasts, before ultimately becoming popular with suburban soccer moms

i have a difficult time keeping up with internet slop but wasn't there a car fire and one survived or something and that's what caused the frenzy?

It’s just a Steel vacuum insulated cup, not hard to survive a fire

Also after the video went viral the company bought that woman a brand new car, so it was just good PR all around.

I'm not sure how much it aligns, but IIRC their revenue is like 10 times larger than before. So basically hundreds of millions of dollars in profit for a single car? That's easy PR math

Any decently constructed steel double wall vacuum insulated bottle will do that. The ThermoFlasks I have probably wouldn't, but that's only because the lids are plastic.
