STANLEY HYDRO

by Sophia Aubrey reporter by Elise Salcedo reporter

The Stanley cup is clearly superior to the Hydroflask. It’s cheaper than a Hydroflask and makes using a water bottle easier. The Stanley fits most cup holders so you can keep the best cup with you almost anywhere. All of the Stanley cups come with a straw made of recycled material. Hydroflasks have a straw, but it must be purchased separately for most cup sizes. The Stanley cup is designed for a flawless anti-splash pour. All of the Stanley cups come with a handle designed to grip your hand comfortably. Every version of the cup is able to customize the design and add-on features. I think having the option of straws, multiple different lid types and even silverware is better than the option of a lid with a straw or a plain lid. Stanley’s are also very available since they are able to be bought at both Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target. Another thing, Stanley cups keep ice longer than Hydros. Stanley’s are just better overall.

Stanley vs. Hydroflask: a somewhat controversial new topic that has been sparked by social media. To be flat out, Hyrdroflasks are 100% better, and here’s why:

1. Hydroflasks keep water cold for around 24 hours while Stanleys only keep water cold for about 12 hours. Sorry, Stanley customers your money is getting you a waterbottle where the water will be warm by the end of the day!

2. Hydroflasks actually fit in your backpack side pocket, while Stanleys have to be carried and they are not light. I certainly hope Stanley users have fun getting a workout trying to carry a bulky water bottle all day.

3. My final reason, the only reason why people have bought Stanleys is because of TikTok, while a large sum of Hydroflask users have been customers for years before they became popular. Just because social media creates a huge hype over a certain product doesn’t mean you need to buy it, especially when there are better options.
