Stanley Obsession
The latest Stanley sale comes after months of tumbler-inspired obsession among consumers in the U.S.
“OK guys, I NEED that green Stanley,” said one user in the Facebook group “Black Girls in Target,” referring to the new Starbucks-Stanley collaboration. “Anyone got one spare?”
“Ladies, I need a Stanley,” said another user in the group.
The Stanley mug included in the merch drop is olive green and has a matching straw. The color of the mug is lighter than the dark forest green that is related to the coffee chain’s logo.
One lucky shopper who got her hands on the mug said she visited four different Starbucks locations before finding it.
“In real prettier”
On Reddit, people in r/StanleyCups show off the “pretty” green cups.
“It’s prettier in real life,” said one Reddit user.
“So beautiful in the sun!” said another user, adding that it wasn’t difficult for her to find the cup.
Stanley Frenzy
Consumers’ obsession with Stanley exploded last year. When a unique Valentine’s Day-themed mug hit the market, crowds stormed Target for a chance to snag one.
