What's the hype with Stanley cups? - eviltoast

I work from home and drink from mugs and I don’t tiktok, so this whole trendy cup thing is really confusing me.

Do they uncurse bad water or something?

      This is the third post I’ve seen about Stanley cups and only now did I realize it had nothing to do with hockey. I was very confused how someone had spent $3000 on Stanley cups

          I don’t know anything about hockey either, but I’m pretty sure “The Stanley Cup” is their big trophy.

            Correct, and it’s a trophy you give back. The team doesn’t keep it, the players get time with it, but it’s been a tradition for over a century. The original is in Toronto Hockey hall of Fame, and the presentation cup is the one the teams win. After the bottom ring fills up with teams aver players who won the top ring is removed and put into the HHOF and a new blank is added at the bottom. Incredible tradition and I live every part of it.

      I thought the same thing at first and was really confused then I found out they were taking about the drink cups and am even more confused.
