The Stanley Stampede

The Stanley craze has been sweeping the nation, and now Starbucks is jumping on the bandwagon. People are losing their minds over these cups, with one user in the Facebook group Black Girls in Target begging for the green Stanley: "O.K. now y’all, I NEED that green Stanley. Does anyone have an extra?"

Another user chimed in, "Ladies I need a Stanley." The struggle is real, folks.

One determined shopper even visited four different Starbucks locations to get her hands on the coveted olive green Stanley Quencher. Talk about dedication to the cause!

'Prettier in Person'

Over on Reddit, people are showing off their new green cups in r/StanleyCups. One user gushed, "It's prettier in person," while another boasted, "So pretty in the sun!"

The Stanley Frenzy

The Stanley obsession has been brewing for a while now. Remember when those Valentine's themed cups dropped, and people were practically trampling each other at Target to get one? Wild times.

So, there you have it. Get ready for pumpkin spice everything and the Stanley cup craze. God bless America!
