A woman's quest for the 2024 Valentine's Day Stanley cup at Target turned into a viral sensation after she fell while trying to secure one, only to later find out that employees had laughed at her misfortune. The Stanley cup craze has led to various incidents, including a TikToker catching an employee trying to stash one, a man being tackled in his attempt to secure one, and people fighting in line. The cups, known for their superior quality and ability to keep liquids hot or cold for extended periods, have become a sought-after status symbol.
