As we’ve learned more and more over the years about how important it is to stay hydrated, people have been embracing new ways to increase their daily water intake.
One of those ways is drinking water through a Stanley cup, the viral tumblers with handles that come in chic colors and keep your drinks ice cold all day.
Stanley cups have become super popular over the last year, as influencers can be seen drinking water from them online, and people have begun falling in love with them for their versatility and quality.
One woman recently proved just how powerful the Stanley cup is when she posted a video about how her Stanley Cup tumbler still had ice in it after being left in her car that caught fire.
Danielle (@danimarielettering) recently gained over 8 million likes on her TikTok video, which shows her pulling her rust-colored Stanley Cup tumbler out of her burnt-up and highly damaged car.
While we don’t know exactly how Danielle’s car tragically caught on fire, we know that her Stanley cup, which was in the front cup holder, survived the flames and still managed to keep her water cold.
“It was in a fire yesterday, and it still has ice in it,” says Danielle as she shakes her tumbler to rattle around the intact ice cubes.
Although the tumbler’s straw got pretty singed and melted, viewers were astounded to see how well the cup held up, especially considering how damaged Danielle’s car was.
Danielle’s video went extremely viral, and people began tagging the Stanley Cup brand in the comments section of her video. Sure enough, that attention paid off.

Not long after Danielle posted her video, the president of the Stanley brand responded to her video with one of his own and did something very special.
Terence Reilly took to the brand’s TikTok page (@stanleybrand) to offer Danielle something amazing and offer his well wishes.
“We’ve all seen your video,” says Terence.
“Wow, what an ordeal. We’re all really glad you’re safe. Thanks for sharing the video because, wow, it really shows how Stanley, our Stanleys, are built for life.”
Terence then explains how Danielle’s video was the ultimate example of how good the Stanley brand’s products are. He addresses that many TikTok users commented on Danielle’s video that she should get some free Stanley cups, and he said he’d send her some.
But his generosity didn’t stop there.
“There’s one more thing,” says Terence.
“We’ve never done this before, and we’ll probably never do it again, but we’d love to replace your vehicle. Yeah, all of us at Stanley, we’d really like to replace your vehicle.”
Terence ends his video by telling Danielle to check her direct messages so they could work something out. Terence was highly praised for his response, and Danielle made a follow-up video to express her gratitude.
“I feel blessed beyond belief,” says Danielle.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, and I know everybody says that, but it hasn’t. It all happened because of you guys. You did this. I didn’t do anything; I just posted a video, and you demanded that I get a new car from Stanley, and you put the idea in their head.”
Danielle goes on to thank Terence for his generosity and says he showcased the “best form of humanity that exists.”
If you have a loved one who could use a new, long-lasting cup this holiday season, perhaps Stanley truly is the brand to choose!
