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?

Basically Commodity Fetishism. There's nothing inherently mystical about a Stanley Cup, but thanks to artificial scarcity and hype culture it's now in demand.

Manufactured scarcity via "drop" "culture".
