Stanley cups have become a must-have item on many people's wishlists, celebrated for their sleek design and practicality. Recently, a young girl asked her mother for a Stanley cup, but what she received instead took a hilariously unexpected turn.

Singing for the Stanley cup

TikTok user Mbali took to her account (@mbal.i_ngeban.i) to share that she wanted a Stanley cup instead of a regular water bottle. She noted that she asked her mother to buy the expensive item. However, what she wanted wasn't what she received.

While the container mimicked the shape of a Stanley cup, the bottom had a removable Bluetooth speaker, which she noted in a separate video came with a charger.

"When 'Bluetooth mode' came up, I honestly thought it was from the cup."

@letjhabile_01 laughed and shared:

"It's 100 times better than a Stanley cup. Let's be honest."

@poloko..mabina said to Mbali:

"At least the cup can comfort you, sisi. Not just with coffee but with soothing music. Plus, it's a gift."
