The Stanley water bottle has become a viral sensation, with a 16-year-old collector's parents reportedly spending $3,000 to acquire every style of the tumbler for their child, describing the obsession as ‘Obsessed’. The trend has escalated to the point where individuals have been stealing the bottles, with one incident involving a woman taking a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles from a store without paying, and another reference to stealing 65 Stanley Cups for resale. This surge in popularity has led to significant profits for the century-old company, transforming the Stanley cup from a simple thermos into a fashion statement with a valuation of $750 million.
