Can You Freeze A Stanley Cup?

I’ve never thought about putting my Stanley Cup in the freezer. I usually add some ice, and my water stays cold for a long time until I drink it.

But if you have any questions about freezing your Stanley, you should not. When the liquid inside your tumber freezes, it expands and can destroy the lid and ruin the insulation components of your cup. If this happens, warrant would not cover the damage.

Chilling an empty Stanley in the freezer for a bit before using it is usually okay. And if your drink is already cold, a quick stint in the freezer can boost the chill, just don’t leave it too long.

However, to avoid any issues, simply pop your Stanley in the fridge for the same effect.

The Freezer Can Damage Your Expensive Stanley Tumbler

Let’s start with the potential damage to your cup. Liquids like water expand when frozen, causing your tumbler to wrap or crack.

It’s basic physics. Plus, you can damage the seal responsible for your tumbler insulation properties.

This would not only ruin the tumbler’s ability to keep your drinks hot or cold but could also lead to leaks, making the tumbler unusable.

It Might Not Work- Difficult To Drink

Who loves drinking extra cold water? My teeth hurt just thinking about it.

Stanley tumblers keep things cold for a long time. It is one of their key selling points and why they are so popular with outdoor enthusiasts and the working class.

So, freezing the tumbler is overkill. And it would not keep your drink colder for much longer than if you were to use regular ice. It could have the opposite effect.

If the tumbler is frozen, it could cause your drink to become too cold, making it difficult to drink.

Alternatives To Freezing Your Stanley Tumbler

Here is a simple alternative to freezing. You can add plenty of ice to your cup, but it works best with water.

Beverages such as tea or coke become diluted over time, so I would not recommend it.

Placing your tumbler in the refrigerator is perfectly safe and gives your drink the best chill.

Try it.
