I Have A Specific Cup For My Water — Here’s Why

The Stanley Quencher mug has become a popular fixture with online influencers. In 2016, the Stanley 1913 company took a gamble and switched up the marketing. After hearing the experiences of the women from The Buy Guide, Stanley decided to partner with them and extend there range. From Retail Drive: It was the group’s first and only wholesale partnership of that kind with a brand. The Buy Guide sold out of its first 5,000 cups in about four days. It sold through the second 5,000 cups in an hour.

I was first introduced to the Stanley 1913 mug through Emily D. Baker, a legal commentary YouTuber during the pandemic. Emily went to explain the benefits of having such a big cup when she would stream. Having it there doesn’t break the flow when she is streaming.

I sat and thought about my current and future work setups. I am a writer and I always have a hot drink next to me. I remembered times when I was in the zone and finished my tea, I would not want to get up to get a drink and break my flow. Having a Stanley cup would mitigate that. I ordered a smaller one first, thinking the quencher would be too big. When it came I filled it up at the start of my day and took it to my office. It helped but I discovered that I in fact was reaching for the cup more than it had the water available. I needed to upgrade to a quencher.
