There’s a place I ate in Billings, MT that cooks their bread in a can so the sandwich is shaped like that

Would fit nicely in the Stanley

Don't leave em on top of your rig and drive away and then back over it when pulling over to find it.

Of course, I've never done that. (On my 3rd in 20 years).

I feel old now. An iPod is a digital music player made by Apple, Inc. It was first introduced in 2001 and discontinued last year. I was THE gadget to have before the iPhone.

_DontMindMeHere t1_j5cks5r wrote

maybe it's a stupid question but is this the same Stanley that makes tools?

50

Dufresne85 t1_j5d6cdb wrote

Maybe a dumb question for some folks, but I hadn't ever thought about it myself. Google says the tool maker is Stanley Black and Decker and the thermos is made by a different Stanley that's owned by Pacific Market International.

JuneBuggington t1_j5eewn9 wrote

That’s not the origins of the name tho, just corporate branding chain of custody.

11

12characters t1_j5f7war wrote

Yup. Stanley and Black and Decker both sold out years ago. Brand loyalty is essentially meaningless these days.

6

Dufresne85 t1_j5fwwqs wrote

But the Stanley that makes the tools is named after an entirely different person than the Stanley the thermos is named after. Just two folks named Stanley that started different businesses.

1

Dufresne85 t1_j5hu1ed wrote

The origins are that both companies were started by people with the last name Stanley. They're not related and as far as I can tell were never owned by the same corporation.

hacknix t1_j5f7trf wrote

You can only call it a thermos if it's Thermos. Thermos is a brand name ;-)

nomowolf t1_j5ey6zp wrote

Great question. Had wondered the same.

lynxss1 t1_j5dsxiu wrote

Check the bottom, new stuff is mostly made in China :( not quite as good as the old Stanley. Mine have had paint flake off and start coming apart within a year, where as my grandfathers that I inherited look beat to hell and one even has a rebar handle welded on it and paint is chip free, all still good condition.

I do have 4 of the soup thermoses that are 1/3 that size for my kids school lunches though. In the morning I'll cook up some chicken or pork, sometimes with rice and put it in hot off the stove and it'll stay hot till their lunch. My kids are so spoiled lol, I was lucky to get crappy sloppy joe or meatloaf from the cafeteria at school when I was a kid.

FoleyisGood t1_j5eglot wrote

Mine is made in China and 24 hours later liquids are still warm after going in boiling hot

uChoice_Reindeer7903 t1_j5f3aj1 wrote

I guess it depends on if you trust Chinese products with what you are investing. For example, there are articles out there claiming that China recycles engine blocks and uses them to make cast iron pans. Idk how true it is and idk how strict their regulations are and for that reason I avoid at all cost anything made in China for stuff that contacts my food/water.

stavrosisfatandgay t1_j5eu4bp wrote

Same I have like a half dozen Chinese made Stanley products that are still tough as nails and keep stuff hot forever

hacknix t1_j5f87el wrote

I find this anti-China thing a bit frustrating to be honest. Almost everything is made in China, even some really good stuff. It's not where it's made that dictates the quality. There is pure crap made in the UK and US too and plenty of the world's biggest brands are manufactured in China. It's all about quality control, not nationality.

lynxss1 t1_j5fawmu wrote

I'm not anti-China, I have plenty of great stuff made in China and some amazing brands are based there like Grant Stone boots.

I am anti quality cutting and well known brands using their name to sell inferior products. I gave an example of this above: 3 vintage Stanley's I inherited that were used hard on construction sites for 40 years still holding up still functional and still looking good, save for the one with a new handle welded on. 2 New stanley's used for motorcycle touring and commuting for 5 years, staying mostly in a saddle bag and much lighter use than the originals, already have paint flaking off, gaskets failing and plastic cup top cracking. The quality is just not the same.

I'm not the only one saying this, there are YT reviews stating the same.

Samvega_California t1_j5clwxs wrote

My issue with Stanley is the amount of plastic they use. Plastic is never BIFL. It will always get brittle and break. I prefer the Klean Kanteen thermoses.

17

Leonardo_DuProprio OP t1_j5cmxh3 wrote

I thought the same when i bought it. Did they change the design through the years and added more plastic? Because the ones from the 50-60 have a strong BIFL reputation and look the same.

Captian_Kenai t1_j5dicna wrote

They haven’t, plastic can absolutely be bifl and last for years. Just look at your trash cans. The problem is most companies just use the absolute cheapest plastic possible

My Stanley one-hand trigger coffee mug (model style previous to yours there) has been going strong for ~10 years. They’re the best mugs ever, and this newer variety you go there is easier to clean the lid.

Ziff7 t1_j5ft6qd wrote

My Stanley trigger thermos will keep my black coffee piping hot for hours. Literally. 5 hours after I’ve made coffee it’s still really hot. 8 hours later, even in my cold truck, it’s still hot enough. It’s wild how good that thermos is.

How long does it keep soup hot for?

Bentendo_GameBoy t1_j5f62t1 wrote

My stanley food jar will keep soup hot for 5-6 hours, past that it stays warm in my stomach. Though I'm sure it could go longer. The trick is to fill it with boiling water to warm it before putting food in.

Baylett t1_j5fwffl wrote

This top can’t be emphasized enough! My mind was blown when I was taught this.

Would always go to a local coffee shop with my travel mug and they would always fill it with the hot water for tea while they prepped to make my coffee. Eventually I asked if it was some sort of store policy to maybe kill off anything in my travel mug incase I did a bad job of cleaning it then blame them for getting sick. They then enlightened me about how to actually use travel mugs and thermoses for hot and cold use. I now have a “fleet” of old thermoses that were “useless and didn’t work” that are actually amazing!

I have a big Stanley that keeps my coffee that I make at 4am almost too hot to drink at noon.

RealRockNRoller10 t1_j5h97pb wrote

Wait what’s the trick for keeping them cold?!

Fill with ice, top off with water, give it stir for around 30 seconds, then let it sit for a minute.

Those Stanley travel mugs on the left are the best. Never leaks and keeps coffee hotter, longer than any i’ve ever used.

I've had mine about 6 years and it's still good as new. Never leaks, keeps things hot/cold absolutely forever. Just press the button to drink.

Causerae t1_j5c5ttx wrote

I just recently bought a vintage Stanley Canon thermos. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually keep stuff hot for more than a couple of hrs.

How old is the one you got? Or is it new?

Leonardo_DuProprio OP t1_j5c6zrc wrote

It’s all brand new. Have you tried filling the thermos with boiling water and letting it sit 5 min before emptying it and putting your food? It’s what I used to do with my cheaper ones. Works well.

13

Causerae t1_j5cs8on wrote

I've sacrificed a bit of coffee in such an attempt, but I could try harder.

Ofc, it's a 50 year old thermos, so I'm not too bummed. It doesn't leak, it keeps stuff hot long enough (since I guzzle coffee) and it does look good in the kitchen :)

Robobvious t1_j5e40xt wrote

At fifty years old the insulating layer between the inner walls of the thermos has probably long since disintegrated.

Get a thermos for your thermos.

General_Albatross t1_j5e5pp2 wrote

Thermoses are insulated with vacuum.

atfricks t1_j5e7vna wrote

They used the wrong wording, but the issue is almost certainly that the vacuum failed, and it's now just insulated with air.

olive_green_cup t1_j5cgtsm wrote

Try the hot water idea below. If the thermos still doesn't keep stuff hot for more than a couple of hours then the glass liner may be cracked.

Causerae t1_j5ct7ul wrote

Thanks - this is my suspicion, tbh. But it's just like the one my photojournalist cousin carried, so I had to get it, functional or not

I love my Swell bottles for smaller quantities - they keep coffee piping hot.

Yo, where did you get that tall spoon, I didn't see any that big on Stanley's site.

It’s a generic titanium camping spoon from Amazon. They sell them for the freeze-dried food pouches you use while backpacking but they also come in very handy for this type of container .

Stanley isn't good quality anymore. It's made in China. The lid came apart on mine then the stopper stopped sealing. Good luck having it more than a year with daily use.

You buy a thermos. You tell yourself, this is the last thermos I will ever need in my life. Buy the thermos, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your thermos issue handled.

Jury’s still out on the bear logo. So far the original metal logo’d ones I have are fantastic but I bought the new version of the water bottle and I can see the dip in quality. However, my French press mug has the new logo and it seems very well made.

bootsforever t1_j5ec800 wrote

Can you get a replacement lid anywhere? I have this same coffee thermos but after lending it to a friend, the lid (not the cup, but the stopper) was screwed onto the threads crooked, and now it doesn't seal. I have been hanging onto it in three hopes I can find a replacement lid.

Edit: looking again- I have a different Stanley thermos, but it's from the same generation. Question still stands, though.

Strykker t1_j5ecrkr wrote

I think Amazon had some replacement parts iirc. But, you could always contact Stanley and give them the product information and they can send you a new one. Idk if product replacements for lost items are free though.

I got a hold of an identical Stanley vintage thermos (along with the laundry baskets I posted), but I was very disappointed with its heat holding efficiency. I have a Microsoft Teams thermos that I found at work that keeps my coffee hot all day, and it’s actually slightly warm two days later when I forget it.

The Teams thermos isn’t Yeti or anything, it’s just some knock off I think. It’s much smaller, but it’s about half the liquid volume but only a quarter of the thermos size.

Swell brand will keep your coffee actually hot all day.

In the morning, I make a pot of coffee, add cream & stuff, drink half then and pour the other half into my Swell to take to work. It's great, hot coffee exactly how I like it at 2 pm :)

Stupid question but I happen to have an ancient stanley thermos like the right one in the picture. Due to age and abuse, I cant read the embossed/printed care instructions and was wondering if anyone knows if they’re dishwasher safe. I’ve been hand washing and don’t mind it but if I were to use it for much more than just hot water, I prefer to know how high maintenance the care is. Thanks in advance!

I just got a 1qt Stanley beverage vessel (hammertone blue) and I definitely notice it’s not as hefty as my grandpa’s old machine green one but it still works like a hot damn. Coffee is hot until the last drop at the end of my work day. I’ll report back on how it hold up in 10 years I guess!
