When cars explode and ice remains and Target shelves are empty, it’s crowds seeking the latest edition of this product that was hyped on social media. But what does all of that hype get us? More and more products in production, leading to more waste. mary and Emma sit down to discuss the Stanley Quencher cup phenomenon and how it relates to slow living. They touch on how the cup is a status symbol more than it being associated with sustainability, how buying one also buys into 'perceived luxury', and the effect of a product going viral.
