Woman claims the ice in her Stanley cup survived a CAR FIRE that incinerated her vehicle – but left the insulated container completely intact
A woman claims her Stanley cup not only survived a car fire, but it still had ice in it.
US-based Danielle Marie Lettering posted a TikTok on Wednesday showing the aftermath of the accident and despite her KIA having a huge amount of debris everywhere, her copper-colored Stanley remained completely intact.
In her video, she shook her 40-ounce Adventure Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumblr to prove to her followers that no matter the melted car parts around the cup, the ice in the Stanley remained solid.
Commenters were in disbelief at Danielle’s discovery, writing: “This is good marketing for Stanley.”

The Stanley cup is made from 90 percent recycled 18/8 stainless steel and has double-wall vacuum insulation on the inside.
Stanley’s site claims that cool drinks stay cold for eleven hours and ice stays intact for two days.
The company started in 1913 and the slogan is ‘built for life’.
American physicist William Stanley Jr. invented the vacuum flask.
