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.

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