And I'm not talking about the prize you get in the NHL. There is a frenzy going on with these stupid cups. Y'all are animals I tells ya! Animals!

Side note: why are they calling them cups when they're closer to mugs?

I take pride in saying, never heard of this.

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

I wish I never heard of this.

[–] howgamer (3987) a year ago

No idea what those are or heard about them.

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

Apparently it started from a TikTok video and people bought into it and they started selling like crazy.

[–] howgamer (3987) a year ago

Wow, people are crazy.

You never know what anyone is talking about.

Add me to the list of WTF is that??

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

It's a fad that just started this week.

[–] SamNoyoun (6015) a year ago

I just heard about them today in a video from one of my favorite YouTubers(who is Canadian btw...)

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

I've seen videos all week. It's like it's the end of the world and they're trying to get the last case of bottled water.

[–] SamNoyoun (6015) a year ago

It truly boggles the mind! Forty-five bucks for that? It's a cup, for fuck's sake...

i though this had something to do with hockey

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

So did I when I first heard about it. It's just crazy people jumping on some stupid hyped red/pink cup.

It is a hockey thing, but really, what with the ravenous appetite of the sports 24/7/365 infotainment machine, any "big thing du jour" will do. All they do is prime the pump to create a manufactured buzz "that everybody's talking about", then spew out the usual glurge-worthy hype as though they're just reporting on "what everybody's talking about". It's all BS.

Yes each sport has their die-hard fans that have/will follow, but I've seen so many people blab on and on about some big event solely because it's a current "news" item, even though they never follow said sport, much less have a background in it.

"March Madness", The Kentucky Derby, the Americas Cup.... 360 days a year these dolts know/care f*ck all about college basketball, horse racing, sailing, unless the boob tube tells them to care during a current news cycle.

Full disclosure: I am righteously cynical as hell.

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

Are you a hockey fan?

[–] CreosoteXmp37 (294) a year ago

Not a fan of any spectator sports at all, but way back when I was in my early-mid teens I liked baseball and hockey, though I wasn't a rabid fan.
