If you’re wondering why people have been so crazy about Stanley cups lately, it may be due to neurotoxins.
Simply put, lead is bad for your brain — and wouldn’t you know it, those pastel Stanley cups are chock-full of the stuff!

Okay, so “chock-full” may be an overstatement. Basically, the Stanley cup is insulated using “vacuum insulation technology,” per the company’s website. To close off the hole made during this process, the company uses “an industry standard pellet,” which Stanley admits contains “some lead.”
“Rest assured that no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product,” the company promised.
there’s a crowd of 200 or so lead poisoned stanley cup women shambling down the street, i just saw them grab a white girl and force her to sip from a stanley cup and within a few seconds she was one of them, i don’t know what to do

The problem with this statement is that the part with lead is covered by a sticker, which can be removed by people buying the cup. If you didn’t know any better — or were, I don’t know, a child — one could very easily expose themselves to the lead present in the cup.
However, if you do accidentally remove the sticker, Stanley says your cup is covered by their warranty. My IQ may have dropped by 20 points, but at least I’ll get a brand new cup!
"the lead in Stanley cups is only dangerous if it is damaged" is not much of a relief for a product whose prime demographic seems to be "women with cracked iPhone screens" https://t.co/B9ctEKW7se

If this information spreads, it’s possible we’ll see the end of the Stanley cup trend — and, of course, all of its associated fight videos.
