Funny how even before being consumed by their adopters it has already contaminated their brain and making them think they are something just because of a product.

Whoa. Alternate take: people are having fun with a silly cup? It’s a meme in physical form.

I'd call it hysteria more than a meme. Similar to the Dutch Tulip Mania in the early 1600s.

Every company I worked at gave out cheap plastic tumblers with the company logo everyone threw them in the trash.

It's a meme you're spending money on.

Meme transmission is a kind of peer pressure, the entire thing seems prickly to me from a moral perspective. I for one don't appreciate being pressured to spend money on things I don't need or want.

Its the kids that are being influenced into consuming, nothing else.

Alot of money.

I overheard some office ladies gossiping about a co-workers Starbucks cup.

It cost over $85 and they were pouring over it to determine if fake or real.

A cup.
