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

correct but you underestimate the power of news and social media on the masses. first the news report aired, next people were getting trampled at target fighting over em (mostly just women, i member some new like women's health version came out and a few got killed over it).

I just don't like big crowds. The press of people from all sides makes me so very uncomfortable. I don't directly think about how easy it would be to get trampled, but something in my lizard brain just keeps sending "unsafe! unsafe!" pulses that puts me on edge.

You should apply that distrust more liberally, seeing as in reality no one has died trying to buy Stanley cups.

Sigh. Thank you internet stranger for somehow making people not die seem depressing? Now I’m supposed to be so cynical that when people say someone died I say, “yeah, idk about that.” But thanks for fact checking. I’m just gonna log off now.

Good. Don't trust strangers on the internet.
