The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.

      Those leach microplastic into your water. Don’t reuse them. Although any $1 water bottle is probably safe.

        Honestly the research shows microplastics are already everywhere so I’m not really worried about that

            The main difference is microplastics are literally everywhere.

            Bought a plastic wrapped sandwich? Microplastics. Drank from a plastic cup? Microplastics. Ate something that was prepared in a factory with plastic packaging? Microplastics.

            Even things that don’t look like plastics like fast food foil wrappers are still full of microplastics.

            Idgaf anymore.

      I spent like $20 on two off brand metal ones and have used them for years now. Metal is easier to recycle and doesn’t contribute to micro plastics
