It's been cup chaos at Target since the release of the coveted "Winter Pink" Stanley tumblers this week. The 40-ounce, double-wall Stanley Quencher mugs, which are a collaboration with Starbucks, have led to long lines, overnight campouts and even fights at some stores, as documented on TikTok. Videos showing customers tussling and people leaping over the counter to steal them have popped up on social media, while the mugs are now selling for as much as $300 on resale sites like eBay and Poshmark.

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Lindsay Lohan would be proud. A pair of sisters pulled off a successful "Parent Trap" that resulted in their divorced parents, Julie Shore and Scott Gaede, rediscovering their love for one another after years apart. The couple, who divorced in 2014 after 17 years of marriage, came together in 2020 during the pandemic for the sake of their family. Their daughters, Rachel, 24, and Caroline, 20, couldn't help but notice their parents were soon enjoying each other's company. Three years later, Julie and Scott were remarried. "Our parents are officially REmarried and we are no longer children of divorce. Successful parent trap," Rachel wrote on TikTok after the ceremony last week. The girls now wear rings crafted from stones on their mother's original engagement ring. "This wasn't just two people getting remarried — it was a family coming back together," Julie told us. See the sweet video here. |
