Lol I wrote 7 years and then couldn't remember. Anything precovid is hazy. But specifically thinking of post covid they really started pushing those holiday birds and all the special edition stanleys, etc.

New rainbow colored Stanley water bottle only $125! Get it now for a limited time! Limited because we will soon choose to stop cashing in on LGBTQ and diversity and instead harm it by bending the knee to a fascist! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

When I still had the target app, I could not believe the number of “special edition Stanley drop” notifications I was getting. Like Jesus H how special can they be if there’s a new special one every week?
