We get the appeal, in theory: A 40-ounce, handled tumbler with a straw that keeps iced drinks refreshingly cold for hours offers a convenient way to ensure that you’re staying hydrated throughout the day with minimal effort on your part.

I eventually had to retire my Stanley tumbler, which I had used for about a month, because of the leaking. Few things are more embarrassing to me than mopping up the floor with a towel after flooding my gym’s weight room.
Plenty of people on TikTok and Instagram have shared the same complaints, and yet the Stanley craze rages on.
But we have a secret for you: There are plenty of Stanley lookalikes and copycats that are actually better than the hot-on-TikTok Stanley Quencher.
