The Stanley Cup is more than just a cup. It’s a badge of honor, letting everyone know you can afford a 50-dollar cup.
But did you know that there are some hidden features and tricks that can make your Stanley Cup even more awesome?
Just like you, I was unaware of these Stanley hacks until I wrote this post. I know that you can remove your straw and twist the lid to reveal the space that will transform your tumbler into a huge sippy cup.
Hack #1: Use the Flip Feature to Sip in Two Ways
Nearly 80% of Stanley Cup owners believed that the only way to drink from your Stanley Cup is with the straw that comes with it.
But that’s far from the truth.
The lid of the Stanley Cup has a clever flip feature that allows you to sip in two different ways.
Remove the straw from the lid and flip it once. This will open a small section on the lid that lets you sip directly from the cup without a straw.
Flip the lid again, and it will close completely, sealing the cup and preventing any spills or leaks.
This flip feature is perfect for anyone who wants to switch between hot and cold drinks.
Hack #2: Turn Your Stanley Cup into a Cooler for Your Ice Cream
While I am not the biggest fan of ice cream, this hack is genius. You can use your Stanley Cup to keep your ice cream frozen and delicious for hours.
Take off the lid of your 40-ounce Stanley Cup and put your favorite ice cream container inside. It should fit perfectly.
Put the lid back on and enjoy your ice cream whenever you want.
This hack is perfect for movie night or anywhere else. No one will know what’s inside your Stanley Cup, and you’ll have a sweet treat ready.
Hack #3: Protect Your Straw from Dirt and Germs
One of the cons of using a straw is that it can get dirty or contaminated by germs from the outside. But don’t worry, there’s a simple solution for that.
You can use a straw protector to cover your Stanley straw and keep it clean and safe.
Find a straw protector that fits your Stanley straw (Amazon is the best place). This is the protector I use.
Slide the straw protector over your straw and secure it.
Take off the straw protector when you want to drink and put it back on when you’re done.
This hack is ideal when taking your Stanley Cup outside or to a public place. You’ll avoid getting any dirt or germs to have a hygienic drinking experience.
Hack #4: Align Your Straw with the Handle for the Best Sipping Angle
If you want to sip your water comfortably, you need to align your straw with the handle of your Stanley Cup.
This will give you the best 90-degree angle to drink from your cup.
Insert your straw into the lid of your Stanley Cup and make sure it goes all the way down.
Rotate the lid until the straw is directly across the handle of the cup.
Enjoy your water.
This hack is useful for when you want to drink water without tilting your head or cup.
Hack #5: Disassemble Your Stanley Cup for Easy Cleaning
Cleaning your Stanley Cup can be a hassle, especially if you don’t know how to take it apart.
But that’s ok!
You can disassemble your Stanley Cup into several pieces and throw them in the dishwasher.
Unscrew the lid of your Stanley Cup and remove the straw. Pull out the rubber gasket from the lid and the flip feature from the gasket.
Then, separate the flip feature into two parts by pushing the button and sliding them apart.
Rinse all the pieces and put them in the dishwasher.
This hack is important when cleaning your Stanley Cup to get rid of any dirt or residue.
Conclusion
The Stanley Cup is a great product. But it also has some hidden features and tricks that can make it even more awesome.
By using these five hacks, it’s now possible to sip your beverage in two ways, turn your cup into a cooler, protect your straw, and clean your cup easily.
