The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.

    Yeah, they have always been bomb proof in terms of quality. Someone got the idea to slap some pastel or bright colours on them and white chicks went wild for it.

    I don’t get it. I mean I get that it’s a fad, but why? Same with the fucking mullets; christ. Mullets were fucking terrible the first time around.

    I’m getting older and that Abe Simpson quote about used to being with it is getting frighteningly accurate.
