Yea it’s some kind of new drinking cup that is all the rage now. It’s very expensive and I don’t see what the big deal is about it.

If anyone here knows more about the cups please tell me how hard it is and if this thing hit the girl in the head with it how much damage it would cause?

Here's a stainless steel version... $40 at Amazon. 40oz capacity, 12.3" tall and nearly a pound-and-a-half. That'll do some damage.

These things are giant double-walled vacuum go-cups with fluid capacity of 40 ounces, with a nice big handle on the side. To fit into “normal” car cupholders, they have tall proportions, with the bases weighted to resist tip-over. The knockoff of this that we have is heavy enough to inflict serious injury or worse, even empty. Full, it would be like hitting someone with a brick.

It’s very very hard It’s made of aluminum - like a bat. Yes, it could kill if swung with enough force

It is a steel mug that weighs about a pound and a half empty.

Not as heavy as the thermos but it will do a number on you.

They are relatively heavy and do damage when one gets smacked on the head with one. They are named to emulate the sports award which is also heavy.

They are a metal vacuum thermos bottle in the shape of a mug or large cup with a lid that seals the top fairly tightly but allows you to drink f=directly from the cup. I have a large Yeti cup of similar design that will keep ice in it all day long. Or similarly, it will keep coffee hot for hours.

I’ll bet the one he had has a handle like a mug.
