Last night, I was cruising down the YouTube rabbit hole and got onto a series called "CNBC Make It". This mini-series on YouTube, and CNBC's website, features different brands rising to superstar success, in unlikely ways.

110-Year-Old Company Makes A Comeback

We ALL know who "Stanley" is, but if for some reason you don't, Stanley makes THE go-to bottle for blue-collar workers, and those who just want to take a liquid item with them... and keep it the same temperature as when it was put inside (or darn close).

That original bottle, "Classic Legendary Bottle", is still on sale today. Even in the original Hammertone Green finish. However, just a few years back, Stanley struck GOLD with their new products... but it didn't happen instantly.

After the debut of the, now viral, Tumbler a few years ago, Stanley recently released the H2.0 edition, which skyrocketed them to where they are now... extremely profitable, and LOVED by many in the world. (Excluding a few lawsuits related to lead...)

Check out their video below, it's worth a watch... and is fascinating to learn about the history of Stanley.

One AWESOME Gift

Now, if it isn't clear at this point... I'm not paid for this, at all, from Stanley. But, I recently discovered the WONDERS of owning my own reusable, washable, water bottle with a built-in straw... and then I learned that Stanley, for just $10-$12 more than the cost of the normal Tumbler, will put ANYTHING YOU WANT on it. (Within reason... don't make me give you the look)
