People Are Fighting Over Stanley Cups Again

I thought we were done with this!

Remember last year? If so, you’re better than most. Ever since COVID, time has become an illusion, with trends and panics coming and going like tides lapping up upon a vacant beach.

One such trend was the Stanley Cup, in which people committed crimes and got into fistfights to secure what was, effectively, a pastel-colored Thermos.

Now, those days are behind us. Rather, we all *thought* they were behind us — until the company decided to release a Wicked-themed mug.

Now, it seems like the Stanley Cup craze is back, with people lining up early to get them and, occasionally, coming to blows over them.
