Check out this juicy scoop from WH’s office! Jess, the social media editor, was buzzing about a birthday gift she got—a cup. A cup, you say? What’s the big deal? Turns out, it’s not just any cup but the 1.2L Stanley Quencher mug that’s causing a stir in the US among TikTok’s cool Mormon Wives.

While I may not be on TikTok, my savvy colleagues clued me in on this cult-like fascination. Apparently, in Utah, these cups are the glam accessory every woman needs. So, when news hit that these mugs were coming to the UK, priced at £44.95, my curiosity peaked.

Fast forward to now, and it’s chaos in the US. They’ve dropped two new colours, a chic cream and a stunning lilac called ‘Orchid.’ Plus, a limited-edition pink version (in collaboration with Starbucks) has caused mayhem at Target stores. But before I dismissed it as just another oversized cup, I took it on a week-long spin for a real test.

Here’s the lowdown after using the Stanley Quencher Cup:

1. Eco-friendly Packaging: Thumbs up for recyclable packaging—no plastic film nightmares here.
2. Filling Quandary: Big size, big problem—filling it can be a hassle, especially from smaller water dispensers.
3. Hydration Boost: I found myself drinking more water thanks to the easy-to-use straw.
4. Leak Issues: Unfortunately, it’s not leak-proof, leading to some bag mishaps.
5. Size Matters: It’s gigantic, making it a pain to carry unless empty. But hey, it saved the day when my gin tin leaked!
6. Chilled Drinks: Kept my beverages ice-cold even in tropical weather, a win for hydration.

Bonus: Pet-Proof! My furry friends couldn’t invade my drink thanks to its height.

Overall, a 4/5 rating for this giant cup. It’s got its quirks, but it does keep your drinks cold and your pets at bay!
