Stanley cup collector, 16, says her parents have spent $3,000 to get her every style tumbler: ‘Obsessed’

A 16-year-old from Alabama says her parents have spent around $3,000 over the last year to help her collect every style and color of Stanley cup available. 

"I’m obsessed," Amelia Awad, 16, told the Wall Street Journal recently of the viral tumbler craze. After getting her first cup a year ago, she now has 67. 

Stanley’s success is a result of a perfect storm of branding and social media marketing, with TikTok driving an extreme thirst for the tumblers that has seen Stanley’s profits spike tenfold in the last few years.

Woodland Hills, CA - January 09: A few 40oz. 'Quenchers', the Stanley insulated steel tumblers, remain at a Target store on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024 in Woodland Hills, CA. The Stanley cups, not the Stanley Cup awarded to the National Hockey League champ

The cup has become so popular online that the TikTok hashtag "#stanleycup" has more than six billion views total, most of which are to do with the tumbler, and not the famous National Hockey League (NHL) championship trophy of the same name. 

Videos of customers racing through stores in the hopes of getting a limited release tumbler have also recently gone viral. 

"Getting trampled for a Target Stanley Valentine's cup," one person wrote in a clip they posted that racked up tens of millions of views on TikTok and X, formerly Twitter.
