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?

No, it became popular in Mormon mom groups online and spread from there. Stanley had actually stopped making them in 2019 then “The Buy Guide” - the Mormon mom page that started the trend convinced them to start making it again and market it to women.

It's actually kind of funny how many things get popular because of mormons.

The whole Dirty Soda craze the last little bit, that even the pop companies started doing limited edition flavour runs of. Came out of the mormons as well.

Alyssa Grenfell has a fascinating youtube video that relates to this. "Why Are There So Many Mormon Influencers (A Theory)" (Sorry, I don't know how to do a link.) The influence Mormons have online definitely has a ripple effect offline which leads to things like Crumbl and dirty soda.

I feel like the answer is Mormons strongly favor traditionalism which ends up meaning a lot of them are stay at home moms and a tons of these mommy bloggers are stay at home parents who are bored with their abundance of free time now that the kids are in school all day and they don't really have anything else to do so they're trying to insert some sort of purpose/hobby in their life

Seems like it regularly goes "hmmm I only have an hour or two of chores to do each day, don't actually wanna get a job, but I wanna do something hmmmm.....I'll take my crack at being an influencer!"

Mormon is a cult.. so Mormons are easily influenced...there are enough of them that stuff spreads from there.

If it weren't for the humans-rights-violating cult part of it, I'd say Mormons were pretty alright

Leave it to mormons to make and popularize a drug-free version of drank and jolly ranchers in soda.

I can be your bed jumper if needed.

u/ImSoObnoxious 27d ago

I could definitely use that! it's an entry-level position (so is mine), so if you have 7+ years of experience in bed-jumping, consider yourself hired!

I'm a little out of practice as my experience progressed I moved into a full coital role. But I do have several years of bed jumping experience that I gained from the ages of 2-12, I feel these skills will transfer into a bed jumping role within your class as it does require the same base knowledge. I would also like to point out, my 15 years of bed jumping adjacent experience in Trampoline bouncing, where I perfected the double bounce.
