BBC.com - Why is TikTok going crazy for Stanley water cups? A woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to steal Stanley cups worth $2,500 from a California shop. The 23-year-old was challenged by staff but refused to pay for the items, stuffing them into a car, police say.
Police in the city of Roseville, a suburb of California state capital Sacramento, said officers responded to a theft after staff at a local store spotted a woman wheeling a shopping trolley full of the water bottles to the trunk of a car.
The Stanley cup, specifically the Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler, has gone viral on TikTok.
The #Stanleycup hashtag has had more than seven billion views worldwide, and the craze has led to a number of attempts at law-breaking. One popular recent video showed a man jumping across a Starbucks counter in an effort to steal a hot pink limited edition of the flask.
Sounds like a marketing ploy by the National Hockey League!
