Oh I thought it would be like a hockey thing or something. Can you buy a Stanley® Stanley Cup® Cup? And, if not, why? I’m sure plenty of people would Stan it.
(I feel like a Stanley® Stanley Cup® Cup would go great with a Fiesta® Fiesta Bowl® Bowl, which always sounds delicious, if you ask me.)
(Also apparently the Stanley® that makes the Stanley® Cup—not to be confused with the Stanley Cup®—isn’t the same Stanley® that makes Stanley Hand Tools®, which is not the _least bit_ confusing.)
something that's very funny to me about the stanley cups is that here in brazil, the craze started around the end of 2021 and revolved around an entirely different group - the jockish straight man type - and an entirely different model - the beer pint. gotta love a cup that keeps your beer cold in the hottest summer days, i guess
So then I went down a rabbit hole and found out Emily Maynard didn't have a baby in 2019 [1]. That makes me think that they sent the tumbler to Emily in Nov. 2017, right after they started up [2] and right after the birth of her son Gatlin.
Put all that together and I don't think the initial Instagram post registers on Google Trends *at all*. But that TikTok graph you showed looks pretty highly correlated with the Google Trends graph, especially after you correct for the annual June spike related to the NHL playoffs. So maybe TikTok in 2024 is way the hell bigger than Instagram in 2019? (Or Google Trends is way better at tracking TikTok in 2024 than it was at tracking Instagram in 2019.)

I've literally bought a Stanley Cup before, and I still thought that bit was about hockey until around halfway through.
Did your Stanley® Cup at least come with some sort of commemorative branded slushie, or something?
No, it was just really nice cup.
I mean that's nice in its own right, but yeah just a nice cup.

Say “Stanley Stanley Cup Cup” 10 times in the mirror to find out!
'great silent majority of American basicness' thank you. I finally know what to call that thing I hate.
That 4chan post about Jan 6 still brings a tear to my eye. I spammed that everywhere during those chaotic days.
😬 think you mean 3 year anniversary
2022 was a leap year so we lost a year, that makes this the 2nd anniversary

“a corner of the web that is to dropshipping what dads are to Amazon original streaming shows” INCREDIBLE QUOTE
“All of these things are very normal things to do when you discover a cool bottle.” Haha!
...hang on, am I insane? Or is that a Google Trends of the NHL championship -- you know, _the Stanley Cup_.

It’s the three year anniversary of Jan 6 though.
That 4chan post is amazing
If you use traditional East Asian age reckoning, it’s actually the *fourth* anniversary this year.

Would Jan 6, 2022 be the "2nd anniversary" of Jan 6, 2021?
Something like that lol
Depends on the moon!!
The reckoning had a reckoning with a reckoning?!?
Reckon right off me fuckin’ ute, mate!
