    From what I can find the Stanley Cup trophy is made from a silver and nickel alloy, so you should be able to drink from it.

    Not sure if you missed it, but Stanley (the company) released an insulated drinking cup through Target that was limited edition and caused a minor craze. It’s not the Stanley cup, the NHL championship trophy.

        Honestly that’s what I thought people were talking about until I saw some news on it.

          I don’t even follow hockey. I just know the South Park episode “Stanley’s Cup”. That is when I learned about the hockey thing. Now it’s a cup? I only know red solo cups.

            Imagine an impractically large WW2-era thermos, but with tricked out limited editions a la Supreme. Now preschoolers accessorise with them. Shit’s wild

      It’s amazing how these blue collar companies have been able to position themselves at the center of a major cultural phenomenon. Especially since our culture tends to scoff at blue collar interests these days.
