So let’s talk about the absolute chokehold these giant 40-ounce tumblers have had on society for the past several years, because honestly, their staying power is kind of wild. It feels like Stanley drops a new collab every other week, and they must be selling out because why else would they keep coming up with new designs? It went from the Stanley Quencher blowing up on social media (thanks, TikTok moms) to suddenly everyone from middle school kids and CEOs needing to have one.
Admittedly, I own one too many Quenchers myself. But they’ve got that sweet handle and straw combo that makes sipping way too easy. And they keep drinks so cold (I am not a room temperature water gal). They’re like emotional support water bottles at this point.

If you have an entire collection of 40-ounce tumblers, don’t worry, I’m not here to judge you. I am, however, here to share that Five Below has their Tumbler Spinner Storage back in stock and it’s just $5. It can hold seven tumblers (whether they’re Stanley, Owala, BruMate—you get the idea) and is perfect for preventing your cups from clanking around in a kitchen cabinet.
Tumbler Spinner Storage, $5 at Five Below
It’s basically a Lazy Susan for tumblers, and once you use it, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Kind of like the 40-ounce tumbler itself. It measures 13.1 inches by 3.9 inches so you can either slip it into a cabinet or keep it on a counter if you want even easier access to your cups.

Here’s Exactly How to Clean Your Tumblers
If you’ve jumped on the oversized tumbler trend, you probably already know how essential they’ve become to daily life. How did we ever hydrate without them? But here’s the deal—those beloved cups need some serious TLC to keep them safe (and, if we’re being really honest, not gross). Because you’re sipping all day through a straw and usually tossing in coffee, flavored water or that “just a splash” of lemonade, residue can build up quickly. That means bacteria and even mold can creep in if you’re not washing your tumbler regularly.
Ideally, you should give it a good clean after every use. Yep, even if it’s “just water.” For straws and lids, daily cleaning is non-negotiable since that’s where the gunk likes to hide.
Follow These Steps
When it comes to how you wash them, skip the shortcuts. While some tumblers claim to be dishwasher safe, hand-washing is usually the best way to extend their life. Use warm, soapy water and a soft bottle brush to scrub the inside, paying extra attention to any rubber gaskets or seals (those spots are mold magnets). Avoid bleach or harsh cleaners, since they can damage the finish and leave behind weird tastes. And if your tumbler comes with a straw, invest in a skinny straw brush. You’ll be either amazed or horrified at what comes out (maybe both!).
