Thursday Thoughts: Stanley vs. Hydrapeak!

 

With Stanley cups being all the rage, let's do a little comparison between their 40oz version and the Hydrapeak 40oz.

First, let's look at price. My 40oz Quencher H2.0 Tumbler (in Fog) was $40. My 40oz Hydrapeak Roadster (in Bubblegum) was $34.99 (currently on sale for $24.95!). Obviously a huge difference there. If you don't care about trends or brand names, then Hydrapeak is the winner there! 

I'm not an ice in my water kind of girl, so I unfortunately can't attest to how long ice lasts in either. My mother in law did an ice test in her Stanley, and it lasted all day long. 

Car Cup Holder Test: The Hydrapeak does fit in my car cup holder, but it doesn’t fit in everyone’s. The Stanley fits across the board. The Hydrapeak is just bulky, where the Stanley is more sleek and slender.  

Ok, let’s talk about the straws. A bad straw situation can bring out the worst in some people. 😬 #instagramcommentstaughtmethat The Hydrapeak straw is built into the lid, with a longer straw piece attaching under the lid. Here are some pictures if that didn’t make sense  


Again, it’s just bulky all the way around. If the top of the straw isn’t aligned right, water doesn’t come out. Also if the straw is upright when you put the lid on the (full of liquid) cup, liquid shoots out of the straw. 

The Stanley has this little gripper that keeps the straw in place. According to what I’ve seen on Instagram, only the newer models have this feature. I’ve also seen that the ones Target sells are the “older” version that do not have the gripper. 

It has a normal straw that I like much better. Stanley is the winner here, for me at least.

Both cups have a handle and both are heavy- when you put 40oz of water in it.😉 Heaviness isn't a huge deal for me. I know whatever cup I have will be heavy with that much water in it. 

The Stanley has a twist lid, the Hydrapeak does not. I much prefer the twist lid. 

I turned both cups upside down, full of water. If the Hydrapeak straw is upright, water leaks out. If the straw is pushed down all the way, it does not leak. The Stanley doesn't really close up at the straw, so water leaked out. 

Ok, I think I have covered pretty much everything that can be compared between these two cups. Both are honestly great options, with the Hydrapeak being more cost effective and the Stanley being less bulky and with a better straw situation- and being "on trend"😉. 

I clearly love this cup😄

Have a happy Thursday! I hope you treat yourself to a fun new cup!!

Friday Favorites {12.8.23}

  Happy Friday, friends!! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some favorites from my week!  If you missed yesterday's post, it was my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! One year ago, I set out to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have loved this year of blogging! If you come here each week to read my blog, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your support more than you know!  I have loved the truffles from Aldi, so when I saw these chocolates I knew I had to try them. They are AMAZING. I've been eating a bit of some each night after dinner! If you see them, grab them!  I think I feel more like an adult when I have fresh flowers in the kitchen 😂. These red carnations are so cheerful!  A couple months ago, Caleb decided we needed an espresso machine...so on Black Friday he found one on a pretty good deal and went for it. We're considering it our Christmas to each other 😉. Friends, I mean it when I say if I never go back to Starbucks again, I would

Let's Look: March 2024

  I'm back!! Happy Wednesday!! It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for LET'S LOOK with Shay and Erika!! In January, we "looked" at How We Clean Our Closets. In February, we "looked" at Little Things We Do Every Single Day. Today, we are "looking" at..... OUR GROCERY CARTS!!  Since I was in Nashville over the weekend, I had to run in Trader Joe's! So, I went ahead and did my grocery shopping for the week while I was there. Plus some other goodies too!  When I went to the TJ's in Huntsville, I said it was my favorite. BUT, I have found a new favorite. There are two locations in Nashville, and I've now been to both. The one on White Bridge Pike is FABULOUS! They had every single thing on my list, and then some. I've been to the other location over by Green Hills Mall, but I didn't look around much, so I can't really attest to how that one is.  I snapped this picture of my grocery cart! This i
