Seriously... wtf? I already have a set of these... in my kitchen, in the cupboard... They're cups...

 

[CptStern]

$39? holy shit that's cheap

/me orders 3 sets

 

[Bob_Marley]

Yeah, but with the right kind of marketing you can sell anything these days.

No doubt pretty soon Solaris will turn up and inform us all of the horrors of the free market economy.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

lolllolol idiots.

the logo on the cup is upside-down.

 

[Ren.182]

I think most surprising of all is that ESPN is airing the World Championship of Speed Stacking ...who watches this crap?

also from their site:


Q what happens to Speed Stacks Inc. now that Speed Stack products are sold in stores?

A. We're glad you asked...
With the retail initiative being handled by Play Along, it allows the staff at Speed Stacks, Inc. to do what we do best: Work with teachers, youth instructors and parents on how to start and maintain successful sport stacking programs.



by all means, cut Music and Art programs but support Speed Stacking at your local schools because it's important that kids know how to stack cups ...this is a surely sign of the coming apocalypse ..I'm killing the first christian I see in retaliation


anyone want to lend me some start money? (I need cash to manufacture professional competitive Plate Juggling plates)

Looks like fun. But Lego > all

 

[Steven]

oh my ****ing God I don't beleive it.

 

[Zeus]

Oh my god! I gotta buy this! This is more fun than half life 2!! A bunch of little toy cups and a little timer for only 40 bucks?! What a steal!!

 

[Raziaar]

I don't see why anybody would buy some cheap plastic cups... when they could buy ELITE SPEED STACKS that do everything so much faster, because they're so much more pricey!

 

[CrazyHarij]

ahahaha, commercialism

Bob Fox, the founder and president of Speed Stacks, Inc. is a former classroom and Physical Education teacher.

"I’m excited about sport stacking, because it helps promote:

hand-eye coordination
ambidexterity
quickness
concentration
-- skills needed to excel in most any sport or life activity.

When students are sport stacking, they’re using both sides of their bodies and brains to develop skills where using both your left and right hand is important."

Reminds me of a certain other hobby that I have involving my hands...

Gaming?

 

[A True Canadian]

Gaming?

Yes, of course.

Not that there's anything wrong with that other hobby matching this description.

Some girl managed to stack cups like 3 feet high under 10 seconds. World record of speed stacking D:

 

[Korgoth]

I'm pretty sure this sport was invented by a bunch of drunk frat guys, some of which happened to be going into the marketing feild, so they just put two and two together, and are now making millions off of "aero dynamic stackable plastic cups" (that you can't even drink out of)...


****iiiiiiing Geniuuuuuuuuuuuus!
(with leroy jenkins inflection)

 

[tehsolace]

LOL vent holes in the cup... in case youre stacking so fast that the air resistance affects your time...


...RIGHT.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Laughable.

Not that there's anything wrong with that other hobby matching this description.

Playing the piano!

 

[joule]

$40 for a bunch of cups.

lolllolol idiots.

the logo on the cup is upside-down.

Actually the logo is right-side up, since the cups are upside-down.
