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.

      Stanley is OG though, I got one handed down from my gramps back in the day that still gets use. They just recently started wrapping them in colors other than black or army green lol

      I mean, technically, any profitable product will single handedly improve a company’s profit margin, but I get your drift – the Stanley Cup crazy is extraordinary.
