People camped outside Target, then trampled each other just to get their hands on a Stanley Valentine's cup

My brother’s ex-wife was a confirmed materialist shopper who desperately ran after every new thing that someone told her is “it” for the year. She was the type to go Christmas shopping at 1:00 am on the day after Thanksgiving, falling for the sales crap promotions put out by the retailers. It really gave her a rush to think she was cleaning up.

That mentality ended their marriage.

I had relatives by marriage long ago who were always shopping and had to have every new gadget that came on the market. I called them the ‘appliance people’ and was really glad for that divorce - I didn’t have to pretend to find them interesting anymore.

"like all Stanley cups, keeps your beverage either hot or cold "

Just like the McDLT container: How do it know?

Maybe it's time for this to make a comeback:

In her case, it’s not “comedy” ...

I got a 30 ounce Stanley tumbler a year ago as a gift, and while it works well and I like it, I had no idea they were generating such a craze.

At least it was Prince.
I got to see the Spice Girls that way.

That was depressing & pathetic.

[ComputerGuy]

A pushover huh?

[Openurmind]

Absolutely stupid. Trampling each other just for shiny stuff you can’t even eat.

[Red Badger]

But oh so enlightening...............

[Billthedrill]

It's not the prize, it's the sting of competition. Dueling fat-person carts like the chariot races in Ben Hur...

I got to see two Gilbert and Sullivan operas with my youngest daughter.
At least they had a full bar.
Yep dear ol’ Dad.

I like Solo cups.

She sees the stupidity people do now more than ever indeed.

People are losing their minds must be a process of lemming transitioning.

Well, as long as you are shopping at a Target might as well pick up some Satanic toys and grooming crappola for the kiddies. That is what Target is all about nowadays.
